Step 3: Action Sequence

  1. Push your hands, palm-to-palm, against each another. This will help you to feel the strength of your own hands.
  2. Imagine to draw a circle with a diameter of 1 meter around your body with the strength of your hands. You can use a repetitive movement, stretching the arms outward, or hold the position of your arms stretched out.
  3. Notice how you can support strong movement with the rest of your body – legs firmly under the rest of your body.
  4. Let this movement be dynamic and active. Push the arms forward and notice how YOU are making the action happen.
  5. Notice your breath.
  6. Stay mindful of this movement so you stay connected with the action of the movement.
  7. In this internally stable state, make a gesture with your hands that illustrates this state (e.g.it can be clapping your fingers, finger cross, open palms, clapping hands, rub a chin, etc.) any gesture that resonates with this state. In neurolinguistics, we call this an “anchor” (see more in the step 5).
  8. Take a break and sense into your body.
