– DRL – deepening reflexive living/learning/loving ~ Sublimewe
Fluffy ~ mic ~ verbal exchange ~ relational ~ me
Bell-stick ~ remote control ~ sonic/silent, vibration/energy ~ ambiance ~ us
Trophy ~ brake & gear ~ non-verbal internal ~ body ~ we/vertical
5.1 (5 parts + 1 accessory) surround sound!
Trophy invitation & vicarious healing
Hand gestures – 1. Thumb to heart – asking for reflection of the fluffy from someone else – why not just use interjection or trophy for this?! 2. Reply gesture – pointing to the fluffy – the voice asking for a relevant & satisfying reply – why not just ask & then the others point?
Can we introduce touch into the mix (especially as response to/support for trophy)?! Most are deprived &/or suspicious – needing & resistant – messy grey area. Sexual circles and sexual abuse.
Inner & outer balance/dance
2 mirrors facing >> infinite reflection!
Holding the whole. Capacity for curiosity
Why eKo – echo?? Distinguish repetition, response & reflection
Where 2 or 3 are gathered in this way, they could gain access to the source of their life & growth. You & I matter equally
Mutual co-hearting – core-couple for forming the us – enough trust, to ask for support from the triggering person! Confidence in the process/design/instrument
Emboldened to find one’s home group ~ my Us
Gradation in the non-verbal to verbal. As many trophies as there are players!
Integration of feeling, saying & doing
Role-modeling – can you please do as I do, back to me, so that you & me can thrive…? “Things are easier said than done!”
Family/systems therapy
System conditions, to read (bring out the pathos) between the lines (of the verbal), and to articulate the deep-scape (communicate/share in language)
Unasked offerings by the us-person
Avoiding blind-spots that lead to dead-ends
How easily can you say no to this person?
Distinguish: Interjection & Reply – different gestures
Distinguish deepening the current thread and starting a new thread
Stop sign – hand gesture – only the fluffy has the right?
When you are itching for the fluffy, then maybe you need a trophy. And if you cannot reflect, then you need a trophy.
