Exercise for Beginners

            This exercise requires at least 2 people and will need to be done in pairs, one to fulfil the role of a director and the other to be the student. It will also require one blindfold and 4 plain A4 sheets of paper, each sheet of paper to be of a different colour. The student is to put on the blindfold, removing the sense of sight thus encouraging and heightening the sensitivity within the student.

            The director places one random sheet of paper in the hands of the student ensuring at no time the student knows the colour of the paper, inviting the student to simply become aware of the energy that is emanating from the colour on the paper leaving the student to do so for approximately 1 minute. The director then encourages the student to verbalise (without suggesting what colour they think it is), what they are experiencing. Are they visualising anything? Are they feeling a frequency or temperature emanating from the paper?

             Whatever the student is experiencing they are to be encouraged to verbally express it, finally they are to be encouraged to express which colour they believe the paper to be. This process can be repeated with different random coloured paper as many times as necessary to suit the individual student’s needs. After this process is complete the student can remove the blindfold (be aware it may be bright to the eyes after removing blindfold) Discuss your findings with each other and change roles.
