a quality in itself the object of attention

This exercise is a real tasting allow each person to go into what suits him at this time. He is trying different qualities or attitudes and to choose one that best fits the context of current life of the individual and his aspirations. It is also an exercise used in teaching Focusing to develop the perception of bodily sense (is what I feel such joy in the same way that I feel the serenity and tenderness?). Each evokes a quality feel different.


"Take time to get your attention inside of you in this area where you usually feel emotions (throat, chest, solar plexus, belly). I'll show you some qualities or attitudes, and each person, you will see how it feels in you.


I will first introduce the joy ... Take time to feel how much joy is manifested in you. See how it goes in your body when joy is this ... Can you match the joy a posture for example ... (Pause)


When you had a moment with joy, see if it's possible now to let go and get ready to welcome a new quality ... I now present to you the confidence ... see how confidence is manifested when it is present in you ... how is your body ... your posture ... your breathing ... (Pause)


Then let pass this quality or attitude to make room for patience ... see how you react to the patient ... is it difficult for you to make room for patience ... what is the spontaneous reaction that occurs to you when the we offer you the patience ... (Pause)


See now the flexibility ... creativity ... serenity ... humor ... compassion ... (It is possible to vary the qualities and attitudes depending on the group and the inspiration of the moment) ...


You is it possible to feel each of these qualities or attitudes? Is there anyone out there one that is appropriate for you right now? One that you like or attracts more than others and would like to develop in your life?
Take time to choose a quality or attitude that you would like to develop in the current context of your life. This may be one of those mentioned or whatever would suit you ... (Pause)


(Asking people to sign when you have chosen quality)


Now that you are in contact with the attitude or the quality you want to develop, see if there is anything that prevents you from fully developing.


If something prevents you, take time to feel this impediment in your whole body ... see if you can recognize this barrier and take some distance. Do you need to say anything that interferes? Maybe you can come back later ... (Pause)


Bring your attention inside of you where you can feel the quality you want to develop and verify if you are now a little more in touch with this quality. How does that feel? ... (Pause)


let you feel what happens in you when you ask the question: "How I feel in my body in my life if this attitude or quality was already fully integrated? ".


Allow yourself to imagine a little about your life, your future actions imbued with this quality. Boost it. Breathe it fully and take time to savor it ... (Pause)


Take the time to complete this exercise in your own way and when you're ready, return quietly to the group in keeping with the positive feeling you or anything that you have this experience. "
