I have learned to be accepting of where and how others need to be. I have learned to balance preparation and discussion of outcomes with accepting that whatever happens arises from the wisdom of the people and their needs in the opened space.
I know that I am but an instrument for peace but at the same time I am a particular instrument chosen for a reason, not perfect but offering value nonetheless.

The imagery is a simple three part effort Find a safe place, Cross a boundary, Go to the outer reaches (stars, cosmos etc you make up the details). I even a did a CD of it with Michael Jones, a Canadian pianist. NARADA put it out, but I dont know if it is still available. Called it Growing Our Now. I used it most often as an optional early morning thing when doing OS training.

The value of using visualisation techniques in group facilitation? 2. The effects of using visualisation on brainstorming processes within group facilitation? 3.
