Who Are WE?
There is a practice in the Evolutionary Collective that is called a Mutual Awakening Practice (MAP). This is done weekly for about 8 weeks with a partner, randomly assigned, after which partners are changed. I typically do one or two additional practices each week with partners that I’ve had before or friends that I’ve introduced to it. It is a thirty minute exercise with each person answering the question “What is present?” followed by “What are we experiencing?”
In this practice my words often seem to arise of their own accord, without any intervening mental assessing occurring. The experience is very immediate. These resonances are often very deep and intimate. The energy of one space had “me” say “I can’t imagine anything more intimate than this”. It was exquisite.
It feels to me that the space we are transiting through/creating has something to say and we have chosen, by our commitment to each other and the practice, to allow it to have its say. As a listener, I feel the space from which the other’s words arise and deliberately allow my fluid self to become entwined in the energetic flow that is being offered. The words act as an invitation to find where our common path is leading us. We follow each other’s lead, in this back-and-forth, in a kind of playful dance. The dance that we “are” seems to delight in the space that is being generated and also in the pleasure of having a partner with which to enjoy it.
