- Large group dynamics
- Idiosyncracies
Areas:
- Dancing
- Business meetings
- Martial arts
Name of the podcast: somatic or pre-verbal?
- Somatic - anything related to the body
- Pre-verbal - at the primary level, before the language kicks in. Circuits 1 and 2.
Eye accessing cues
- Traditional NLP way - up, straigth, down
- Spacial locations
- Leading: shifting the locations, moving into different modalities
- Dance (5Rhythms) - eyes "language"
Body proper
- Tracking the impulses that move the body, and replicating that in yours
- Martial arts (aiki jujutsu) - tracking body as a whole; breathing patterns as expressions; pacing - flowing with a punch, leading - becoming a center and taking control
- Business meeting face to face - track tentions, match / mirror those, then lead to relaxation
- People with schizophrenia - enter their world and change it from there
- Rapport in dance
Large groups - rapport as a sense of belonging; track how space and time is treated
Idiosyncrasies - personal signatures, unique self-expressions
