His eyes are closed and he has a serene look on his face. His body is made up of colorful geometric shapes and patterns that twist and turn in different directions. It's almost as if he's sitting in the middle of a kaleidoscope! electric purple by Peter Holme III, by Phoebe Anna Traquair ghostly, sinister](https://lexica-serve-encoded-images.sharif.workers.dev/md/01108770-ba32-4701-acd3-95301a6001a5) Circling is a social meditation game that helps people to connect and deepen their relationships with themselves and others. It involves a group of people sitting in a circle and taking turns to share their thoughts and feelings with the group. This can be done through dialogue, silence, or movement. The aim of the game is to create a safe space for individuals to express themselves authentically and to build a sense of community. Circling can be used to explore topics such as relationships, communication, self-expression, and personal growth. It can be used to foster meaningful conversations, build empathy, and create lasting bonds between people. The exact process is the following: 1. Set the intention. This could be anything that you would like to explore with the group. 2. Start the circle. Have everyone sit in a circle and take turns to introduce themselves to the group. 3. Set the rules. Have everyone agree on some basic ground rules, such as respect and confidentiality. 4. Begin the discussion. Take turns to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with the group. 5. Allow for connection. Allow the conversation to flow naturally and create an atmosphere of openness and connection. 6. Wrap up. Once the conversation has come to a close, thank everyone for their participation and invite them to share any closing thoughts.
