1. EYE GAZING WHY The desire for connection is a fundamental human need. After physiological and security needs, Maslow lists love and belonging as the most important human need. Vulnerability is a big part of connection because the more vulnerable another person is, the more relatable they are and the easier it is for us to build rapport. We're going to use eye-gazing to create vulnerability and cultivate connection. HOW 1. Sit opposite your partner. 2. Take a deep breath 3. Allow yourself to really feel and accept all the sensations that come up for you 4. Silently send your partner a feeling of wellbeing (you might wish them well with your thoughts) 5. Look deeply into your partner's eyes and connect with their 'sould' for 10 mins. WHAT The results from the session. Share the thoughts and feelings that came up for you during this exercise with your partner. 2. HOLDING SPACE WHY To be interrupted is not good. To get lucky and not be interrupted is better. But to know you will not be interrupted allows you truly to think for yourself. (Nancy Kline) In the quiet presence of attention, respect and ease, important things can happen for the person with whom you're speaking. Fresh ideas can emerge; confusion can dissipate; painful feelings can subside; creativity can explode. It's for the reason that it's so important to allow the people with whom you speak, the space to find their own answers in the safe and welcoming space held by your attention. This is why we're going to practice this most precious gift of giving our fellow peers the space to think for themselves and generate their own answers to the issues they bring to the session. HOW • As listener, you agree to not interrupt your peer whilst they're speaking. • Keep your eyes on theirs while they speak. • Know that your job is to help your partner think for themselves, not to think for them. Step 1. Listener asks fist question: "What would you like to talk about?" Step 2. Speaker answers and asks for the next question whenever they're ready. Step 3. Listener asks question two: "What more do you think, feel or want to say?" WHAT The results from the session. Feedback your experience with your partner. • First the LISTENER - what was it like for YOU to hold the space for your partner (avoid commenting on what your partner said)? • What thoughts, feeling, sensations came up for YOU? As SPEAKER: • What did it feel like to know you would not be interrupted? • What did you notice about your thought process? |
