'Palpable play' is what a colleague calls the images. They are a way to
bring lightness and possibility to a moment of interaction whether it
is with an individual, a pair, and or a large group.
A coaching client found herself always in her head, processing, thinking, worrying, and planning.
She
created a meditative practice where, as she took a series of breaths
and then exhaled, she was able to pull her energy slowly down from her
head finally settling in her gut.
Using the images with a client team, I asked them to choose an image to
represent their hopes for the 2-day retreat and one image that just
"spoke" to them.
I held the question - "How does the second image relate to your hopes for the team?" until after they had responded to the first question.
