How much silence depends on your intention:
Are you opening space for the transfinite AND finite fields to emerge? Or only
the finite?
Are you opening inner space so people will access their capacity for being
guided by the resonating field in their heart/mind/body awareness? (In order to
really take responsibility for what they care about??)
If finite, a small amount of silence helps people settle into their bodies and
bring themselves here...now.
Transfinite and finite (which is what i do) opens a more expansive space. It's
not Woo-Woo. The work the field is supporting gets done regardless, just more
co-creatively, more quickly-- synchronicities spark rapidly, delighting
participants.
Re silence:
1. I sometimes cue people to be aware of their feet on the floor, their
legs, their bottoms on the chair, shoulders, top of head.
2.,And sometimes, after the Welcome logistics are dealt with, i simply
invite them to be comfortable and relax into the chair, the silence, the
feelings in their bodies. Usually i refer to a word or phrase in the Welcoming
setup by the Host to help people make an outer/inner connection. I let silence
go until i sense it's time to stop...not more than 8 minutes or so, probably.
This is until i sense we are resonating together (i guess).
Then i break the silence by standing and then, slowly beginning to walk the
circle, opening the finite space of the circle, acknowledging each one as I
pass.
To open the silence, sometimes i invite a friend to sound a crystal bowl
followed by 2. above. That is even more delicious.
NOTE: none of this is rote! My preparation includes sensing into each group
meditatively; getting clarity about who they are and what they need; and in
the Now of the experience sensing into the circle and acting in the present
moment.
Thank you! Took me a while to ruminate on it. Good and interesting question!
Thanks whoever posted it a while ago.
Blessings! Anne
