Exercise 4 – Conflict Phases

Conflict Phases – Alternatives to Inner + Outer Wars

Phase 1

  1. Recall a time when you were happily doing whatever you were doing, without much concern.
  2. Hold that space, and notice the body experience that goes with that state.
  3. Find a gesture/movement for it, and stay with it until you can sense how that movement highlights that worry-free state.
  4. Who is this in you? Image or name? Enjoy!

Repeat above for Phase 2

  1. Recall a time when you were irritated by an inner or outer event that forced you to leave phase 1.
  2. Repeat steps above.

Training yourself: write down your training intent in one sentence. Go into your triad and read that sentence to the other person.
