There's a sense of like having to put on a posture or a mask or a defense and they get stacked up as we go through life.

So it's sort of like getting into a safe space

place you know like a place where you're meditating and you know nothing's going to come get you or you don't have to be a certain way and then sort of letting that infuse and then spending some time the question yeah what's what's the way of being that's been there since a kid is a good way there's a few more questions as well in the book but like just sitting with that and trying to feel into are there specific aspects of experience that i

feel or focus on or sense and then that's the sort of individual thing and then also we do on retreats i've sort of worked with this quite a lot where again it's the allowing thing often people are like for some reason have learned that they're not allowed to see what they can see and actually if you start saying to people i would just describe what you're seeing sit in partners and just describe what you're seeing in their emotions or describe what you imagine they're

in a world might be like, or you can actually see a lot more than you think you can see.

There's like a lot more sensitivity there, but we've sort of learned not to include it because it's not polite or for many reasons, I guess.

But so you can also do it in sort of pairs or small groups and explore it.

Yeah, so I guess in the context of a retreat, we'll have a pretty good sort of baseline setup where it's about letting people have their experience and not taking it personally and kind of sharing what's coming up and having a bit of space for people to correct.

You know, if you have a projection about me and it's incorrect, I would have space to say, oh, it doesn't feel true for me.

This actually feels true.

And just make, yeah, much more space for there to be

A sort of group experiment and a sharing and a high openness to what that could be as the sort of foundation of where we're speaking from.

Yeah, this might be an inquiry that takes people a bit of time.

It might even be an inquiry that takes people weeks and months to really get to some of the ways that that is true for them.

But essentially, I've just found working with many people one-to-one that

It's kind of magical.

It's almost like ways that they see the world.

It's like the water they're swimming in a bit, where some people are just really keyed into other people's emotions and just get a lot of information about that and don't even sort of realize that they get it.

Or other people, it's like really a way more kind of like technical and notice.

I don't know, this one's hard for me to imagine because I'm not like this, but like very specific high res kind of technical.
