Doing this exercise very often, until you are fast and good at it, helps you to hold your space and presence with ease and confidence whenever you enter a new space – like a restaurant or a store or somebody’s office or visit some friends. It is also very helpful when you have to speak to a group of people.
How to Do It:
1. Put a chair in about the middle of a room – like your living room – and sit down comfortably.
2. Look at the two upper corners of this room – the ones in front of you and put out two mental beams to them, like if you were holding them with two sticks. Once you feel you can do that:
3. Look at the two upper corners behind you. Turn around briefly so you see them. Then, turning back into your original position, create 2 mental beams to hold them without seeing them physically. Once you feel you can do that. – pick up the upper corners in front of you and also hold the mental beam, whilst keeping the beams to the corners behind you. Do it until you feel you can hold all four beams comfortably.
4. Then try to hold this for a minute, for two minutes, for three minutes.
5. When you do this exercise regularly – once a day – you will get faster and faster on it until you can do this more less instantly. Briefly checking the corners of the room, creating your mental beams and hold them there.
Whenever you enter a new space, you can do this and “own” the space and feel more certain, more secure and more present in that space.
