The main exercise of the morning was chaining anchors of excitement. Groups of 3 and with each "subject" in a light trance to elicit 5 instances of real excitement; elicit and anchor the first, compress it and inject it; elicit the second, anchor it and inject it with the first... till all 5 anchors are injected at the same time. Wow, what an exercise and great guys to work with.
Stations, stations, stations.... the mime artist (non verbal communication); the play acting (states and congruency); the 4 elements (earth, wind, fire and water); the dance room and being earthed; energy work (Neil to do the exercises at home); timeline work (watch where the client is painting their picture; Neil, remember to do the mirror image of the audience's timeline when presenting; taking resources from the past and installing them in the future). The slow everything down room- great to practice time distortion and practicing s p e a k i n g s l o w l y; the elephant's graveyard (paying attention to the whole audience and great improvisations everyone).
John then spent some time with us giving us additional tips about sound systems, bastar** in the audience; formal v informal postures (with a great exercise) and the example of the classroom scenario of pace (both guys formal), pace (both guys formal), change to slightly informal (lead) and the other guy follows.
Richard ended the day with a group trance which reviewed our experiences to date and with the invitation to experiment now and in the future.
What a day!!! I am tired and totally elated. The shift in confidence in everyone since the first day is INCREDIBLE.
