exercises
1. Sit quietly. Slowly close your eyes and observe what you
see behind closed eyes. Relax your eyes and allow them to lay
comfortably in the globe of your eye socket. Then imagine your eyes
could look into your head, backwards, while you open your eyes and
let the images touch your eyes. Breathe comfortably, then repeat
until you stop.
2. Think of something that could create a container for human
interaction. Try it!
3. Be silent. Breathe with all there is around you. Listen to the
silence behind all the little noises. Observe how the silence becomes
presence. Gently begin to sing without disturbing the silence. Weave
yourself into the space like a little enchantment of the ordinary.
4. Go into nature. Find a spot that appeals to you to sit comfortably.
Do nothing. Then adjust your position to even more comfort.
Then decide to not move anymore. Listen. Wait. Notice how your
immobility creates a sense of silence. Listen to all the little sounds
that are there. Imagine, they are all there for you. Like a concert or
performance. All is arranged exactly like this for you. Hear the music.
The film music. Notice the feedback from the body. Listen. Wait for
at least 10 minutes. Then decide to move again. Take your notebook
and write for 6 minutes without stopping. Read your writing and
underline words you like. Create a short text or poem out of the
words you liked.
That’s it! Thanks for listening
