Can I invite you to find a place in the space and tune into how available or open or closed and internal you are feeling in your whole self, at this particular moment. Perhaps thinking about this state as you tune in with the sensation of your skin.
It’s really important we don’t judge or attribute value to either of these states, for example thinking open is good or closed is bad or the other way around. Any state is right as long as it is right for you.
Can I invite you to start walking around the space, observing your levels of openness and closed-ness and seeing if they shift. If 10 is the most open your boundaries could be and 1 is the most closed, what numbers are you moving through?
Again, remembering to do this with no judgement.
Observing any change or you shift through space, or by people who you may know well, or still be getting to know.
…
Now as you move through and amongst people, can you start to become aware of different individual’s level of openness or closedness?
Can you sense the kind of availability that is being offered to you today, whilst still being aware of your own levels?
An inside outside awareness.
…
Now, instead of moving through and amongst the individuals, can I invite you to stop opposite someone and sense between you one another’s boundaries, deciding on the distance between you.
Can I invite you to hold and care for the space between you, that you’ve collectively created and see it as a site of connection, not exclusion.
Once you’ve spent some time with your partner, can you gently move away and find another person in the space, sensing their boundaries, allowing them to sense yours and together holding space, and then moving to the next person.
Continue this until you’ve held space with many people in the room.
