Slightly dangerous.

Let's go back to the individual practice.

It's called the trusting experience meditation.

And again, this is to help us get in touch with what Rose is calling sensitivity.

And so there are three steps to this process.

I'm going to walk through this, Rose, and then I'll let you just hold forth on the other side.

So it starts with some affirmations, like some things you can say to yourself, and this is the safety part you were talking about before.

You know, your experience is welcome as it is.

It's safe for you to see the truth.

Shadows and dissonance are welcome.

There's a deeper layer of meaningfulness.

So you're just sending the signal, I think, from mind to body and beyond that you're okay.

Yeah.

It's cool.

The second step is space, just like leaving space for sensations or emotions or images to arise.

I think this is probably helpful if you have a meditation experience, enough stability in the mind to observe whatever's happening without getting carried away by it.

Although that will of course happen.

And then the final step is inquiry.

And it's asking this question, what is a way of seeing or feeling that has been there since you were a child?

What is something you're highly sensitive to?
