Yeah. >> Hi Stefan. >> Hi. >> So, I understand we have 10 minutes, is that right? Mhm. >> [clears throat] >> So, it's kind of short and sweet. And I'm going to be the listener and you will be the focuser.

>> That's right. >> And is there a kind of signal that would be useful? Like a minute or >> Yeah, like a minute before the end. >> So, as we are about to begin, I kind of reading what what still resonates in me is how Frank was describing that there are these

conditions that we are kind of conjuring up. And that these sort of focusing conditions allow us to meet ourselves differently.

Uh or that is sort of the what we find is sort of different because the conditions are already slightly different. So, uh I was wondering what it would be like to just take a moment and see what you might need to find the right conditions for this short practice together.

And I'm going to press go on my timer. >> Right. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, so something just came up that said like lean back.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I might look away from the screen to to kind of come back to come more into myself.

>> Yeah. Leaning back. Looking away from the screen. Sort of perhaps allowing yourself to connect that way.

>> Yeah, there's a sense of real quiet. >> Mhm. >> And yeah, there's a hint of grief somewhere in the background.

>> Mhm. >> So, that's what I'm aware of. >> Yeah. So, there's a real sense of quiet. And there's this sort of a hint of grief, and you're doing this gesture like a like a sort of veil in front of you or something.

>> Yeah. and as you named the gesture Yeah, that just wanted to happen again. >> Mhm.

>> Something in acknowledging Yeah, the space of the grief maybe. >> Yeah.

You noticing that there's something about acknowledging the space of the grief as you are finding yourself repeating this gesture. And see what it's like. If it's okay to just acknowledge that that that's what it's there.

>> Mhm. Yeah. Yeah, it's like the gesture acknowledges that it's there.

And as I do that it becomes less seeking any tension. >> Mhm.

>> And then I just return to the quiet. And I notice that there's uh Yeah, there's another part of me that could slip away.

>> Mhm. >> Um Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and then there's there's also presence and staying here in relationship with you.

>> Mhm. Yeah, so there's all of that. There's a return to the quiet. There's a kind of dissipating of the sort of sense of grief as you're acknowledging it. And then there's a part there that is also kind of you notice that it's all disappearing somehow.

And there's a relational and the sort of willingness to be present or something. >> Mhm. Yeah. >> So, wondering what it would be to be with all of that. >> Yeah. Yeah, as I as I was listening to you reflect that yeah, the visual came more

Mhm. online and and now I'm kind of glad Mhm. to be to be in more relation. And yeah, and not needing to slip away.

>> Yeah. Hello. >> >> Yeah. Mhm. Yeah.

And what's coming up is a kind of I think this is the first time we're doing this together. >> Mhm.

>> And there was something about Yeah. It's like yeah, I wanted to acknowledge that. In order to come more here. >> Yes. Yeah, so you are noticing that's a that's a part of you that really wants to acknowledge that we are doing this together. And something new about that that we are in this space together.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I can feel more kind of presence sense of aliveness might be the word.

>> Yeah. Perhaps aliveness. >> Or rather like something more concrete.

Something feels more concrete. >> Mhm. >> And I'm noticing kind of this gesture as well. >> Yeah. So you you've got that here. It's more concrete.

>> Yeah. Yeah. >> And again, I would like to to invite you to see if it's okay to just acknowledge that. So there's something a bit different now. Something more concrete.

>> Mhm.

>> Yeah. And I'm appreciating not rushing to filling the space >> Mhm.

>> with something. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> [clears throat] >> So, there's something there that really appreciates you being able to not fill the space. Yeah, too.

And we have a full minute. >> A full minute. The class. Yeah. Yeah, it feels Yeah, it feels that's where where we can
