Encounter #3: Nina Runa Essendrop
Think of a situation where you felt powerless. Remember how you felt in this situation. Notice what comes up for you.
Put the feeling into your entire body, trying to feel it with every inch of your being. When you feel the situation in your body, gently push against my hands.
Find a movement with one hand that represents the situation where you felt powerless.
Now you can let go of the gesture, it is in my hand.
Imagine that my hand through your movement is turning into a small creature. Help me take care of the small hand creature. What does the creature needs in order to feel safe? Talk to it, change its surroundings or gently touch it.
Now I offer you the little creature back. For as long as you like you can keep it, bring it forth in your hand and take care of it whenever you need.
