Class: Psionics for the Headblind Herd, The Community Center, Tuesday Evening
"So apparently some of you had commonsense knocked out of your skull last week by the pink abomination." Emma was clearly very supportive. Or something. "And while I mentioned before you can't keep a trained and determined telepath - or magic - out of your brain, you can make them work at it."
"So today you're going to learn how to shore-up your own automatic mental shields, and hopefully a few other tricks."
"Now the first thing to remember is this: Your mind is your reality. I'm not going to get in a psionic catfight with someone in their own brain, as that gives them the home field advantage. I'm going to bring it into my space, where I get to write the laws of reality."
"So I want you all to come up with a 'safe spot' in your brain. A happy memory, an imaginary place, something you can visualize easily and will never forget. If you can't think of something, pair up with someone else and brainstorm an idea."

During the Lecture
Activity: Your Mind
[ Describe your mindscape/safe place/idea, or pair up with a partner to find one that works for you. ]
Re: Activity: Your Mind
A safe place.
The Normandy? No. That had been... a lot of things. Home. Shelter. Mission. Nowadays, hurt. But not safe. No-- safe made Kaidan think of something else, much earlier than that. English Bay, early mornings and a beautiful view.
Yeah. That would be it.

It had been her birthday, years and years ago.
We'll always have the Tiki Room.
Re: Activity: Your Mind
Yeah, he was never telling Stark that. Ever.
Activity: Shielding
"Work in pairs to come up with ideas, try visualizing on your own, or wave me down. But remember - the end result only includes two factors: Raw power and will power. But as long as you practice mental discipline seriously, you may at least give yourself a chance to get away."
Re: Activity: Shielding
Meditation, he did do. A little more regularly these days, now that his life had a bit more direction than it had months and months ago. Still, his mental barriers could definitely use more work.
Walls, meditation, lyrics... They were all things that he could manage, when he was in his right mind. Still, some help sorting out something a little more reliable wouldn't go unappreciated. He glanced around for a partner.

Bobby was here. And had quite a bit of experience with this particular topic, as it happened.
