Experiment: Contact Tag 1

Set a timer for five minutes.

Sit across from your partner close enough that your knees are nearly touching. Relax your face by rubbing your palms together and placing your warmed hands over your face for a moment. Gaze gently at your partner. Your eyes should be in soft focus. To help this along you may touch the fingertips from each hand together in front of your face and slowly move them into the periphery allowing your gaze to follow.

Sit there with your partner for the five minutes. Don’t smile, speak or laugh. Just be present with each other.

If one of you does break into a smile, laughter, tears, etc., acknowledge the break by saying "break". Then resume the exercise.
