General Guidelines for The Exercises

Before undertaking any exercise, it is necessary to prepare so as to be centred.

You may do a visualisation, some slow breathing, or any other exercise that makes you feel present, calm and centred.

During the exercise, continue fully centred, relaxed, as though meditating, with an empty mind, only waiting for body signals.

Move only when something pushes or displaces you. That something is the movement of the spirit, the healing movement. When using objects, the movement is the same: the person waits until her hand is pushed, in an involuntary and unconscious manner, to move the object, without knowing why.

Any exercise may be stopped at any time. The movement that is started up continues alive in the people represented.

During an exercise, a representative may look far away into the distance. This means she is looking at an ancestor, and we will need to put a chair there where she is looking at, a chair which will represent that ancestor. If someone looks at the floor, this means she is looking at a dead person, and we will need to place a cushion there where she is looking at, to represent that dead.
