Reading the other. by Cielja

Instead of telling each other how we are feeling, we can take the role of observer and see if we can ‘read’ the other: looking at them silently, is there anything that you ‘get’ from how they are sitting, their expression; could you read their thoughts, the things that they have going on at this moment? Is there any information that you capture about how they are doing maybe in general? Exercise: one person looks at one person; that person looks at another person etc. Even though we all have therefore a ‘task’ and that is what the observer also will ‘read’; most likely you still will catch the things that a person has going on: their mood, their intention, their energy, their thoughts, and even their well-being.

The exercise can a be done without image, what do you read about a person by only hearing them; or without sound what do you read when only seeing them.
