“Many asked me about the matching children exercise. Acting workshops and classes I took in the ’70s were so valuable. I studied with many brilliant acting coaches and their various approaches. The ‘Method’, on camera techniques, stage, drama, and comedy.
We spent 100’s if not 1000’s of hours learning to perfect drinking from an imaginary coffee cup so we could imagine seeing the light reflecting on the dark surface, the smell, the taste, the texture and weight of the cup. Spent the same amount of hours learning to feel.
We learned to delve into our pain and to use it. We strived to be authentic, honest, clean, naked. It hurt! Some classes and approaches were brutal. Other workshops, fun and inspiring. Others focused on technique. The camera never lies. Simply be. Think. Feel.
You Go Where Your Thoughts Take You – Thoughts Become Things
I co-taught classes with a wonderful instructor I spent over 10 years learning from and working with. We remained friends until her passing a few years back. When I decided to add an exercise matching children it was for various reason already cited. To be real.
To have fun. To play. To discover. To dive in and immerse oneself in ‘character’. To take on the demeanor and mindset of an innocent. To expend the energy a little one naturally expends. To match facial expressions, sounds, if they can be heard, and every movement.
Match breathing, match postures, match rest, match gestures, fingers, anything and everything from a distance so the child is safe and you don’t interfere with the child. This is about you going inside and living, being as a youth does. Feel what you feel while doing this.
Play – Release – Renew – Refresh – Let Go – Live – Laugh – Love
Notice if you run an auditory self-talk or if you let go with abandon. Do you pay attention to the self-talk and let it restrict you or do you model, ‘be the child’ completely, deeply? It takes courage, energy, and let go. I learned so much and brought so much to classes I teach.
While others primarily focused on NLP in the early days and therapy, I brought, acting, meditation, my background in various areas of study and practice psychology, anthropology, sociology and spirituality. I wanted to create an entire gestalt, not just therapy.
People don’t need to be fixed, they need to be freed. They need to know there was a time when they didn’t have problems and were a clean fresh slate. They learned to have difficulties and because they learned those, they can learn to be free, positive and joyous.
If You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You Are Correct
People are amazing when they give themselves half a chance! Many don’t. I created many workshops and programs back then to help people discover how to be playful and have fun changing and growing. Some people fear change. Some resist it. Some go for it.
When we stretch outside our comfort zone lots of ‘issues’, self-talk, limiting beliefs come to the surface. Some think these need to be fixed. I say they need to be released. They come to the surface so you can spot them and release them. Others think they’re problems.
They are opportunities to notice, let go of and become renewed. Change is marvelous. Changing is incredible. Transform. Transcend!
