Отрывок из пьесы “Гроза” А.Н. Островского

“—下” is used after a verb to indicate a short action, similar to the reduplicative form of a verb.
The object of the verb can be omitted. 
For example:
wǒ kàn yí xià shū 。 
我看一下书。Let me read the book.

nǐ xiū xi yí xià bɑ 。 
你休息一下吧。You can take a break.

nǐ wèn yí xià lǎo shī 。 
你问一下老师。You ask the teacher.

wǒ tīnɡ yí xià zhè shǒu ɡē 。 
我听一下这首歌。Let me listen to this song.

EVERYONE'S DOING THEM!
If you search the internet you will discover that workshops are a teaching opportunity that isn't focused on marketing, whereas webinars are built to teach and sell at the same time. It's a lot more about training and learning than it is about selling, but there will always be a pitch at the end of a webinar.

Then there are seminars...
An in-person seminar is more or less dependent on attendees' ability to physically attend the event, so there haven't been many of them during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been problematic for some businesses but it has gone some way towards reducing carbon footprints.

Wikipedia has defined these 2 event types individually:

A seminar is ‘a meeting held for the exchange of useful information by members of a common business community.’

A webinar is 'an interactive seminar conducted via the World Wide Web. Usually a live presentation, lecture, or workshop that happens in real-time, as users participate through chatting, video-chatting, file-sharing, or asking questions with a microphone.’

Time for a masterclass!
Workshops progress from theory to practice, with a focus on grasping key tools or skills. Masterclasses are specialized classes in which students attain their learning objectives via in-depth practice and thorough guidance.

A gift from my heart to your heart! A guided meditation to help you relax, release and connect with your inner self...

For a teacher and a student. Something we can all benefit from and I use it every day :)

It's something unusual for a teacher to do, I know.

But I am not a normal teacher. I am interested in psychology, coaching, meditation, exploring the invisible. 

Today I'd like to share with you something I've come to realise after 14 years of my own personal & professional development - learning from the world's top teachers and something I've gathered from over 18,000 one-on-one coaching sessions with my students that I've successfully helped.

This is something I have done for my private students, but in today's meditation I had an idea to share it with the Italki community. 

Please allow my guided meditation to help you relax, feel comfortable in your skin and trust your inner instrument, the Dao WIthin, to take you where you need to go.

Let your Higher Self be your guide and my voice is the transmission mechanism to your Higher Self.

Feel good now.
