The method of bonding experiential Focusing as presented by Akira Ikemi and his team has three characteristic features:
- The way the person making the collage explores the meaning which it own
- The way the person making the collage in the sense that access is sticking by an interaction partner (or other form of support)
- The unique way the body senses accompany each collage
To explore the meaning of the bond, the person is first asked to speak freely. Perspective oriented Focusing, each cut is a threshold for accessing the bodily sense, a starting point for deployment new meanings.
The accompanying person will then add some type of experiential questions to obtain further development and the bodily sense eg "How do you feel right now in connection with the collage as a whole?" This bonding could it have a title? "Is there a picture or a word that particularly attracts your attention?", etc..
There usually sticking something singular, something that the person "does not know yet." It is then possible to focus on the exploration of this newly emerging in order to learn something.
In the collage that is presented here, the new element for me was the harp ... I first chose the car and the harp had been given a bonus as a gift we did not expect. I took some time to fully experience the strangeness of the harp in my picture. There was the sensation of this harp something solid and ... melodious ... like a music of angels from heaven, a spiritual emanation. The harp suggesting a sense of harmony and perfection in everything ... in each strand of vegetation that is installed on the stones.
