Introduction:

It isn't just the flu that we can catch from each other, we can actually catch energy. We will be discussing how you can pass around energy, bad moods, stress, pain, etc. We will talk about how to be aware of these energies when they come into your space. We will talk about how to shield yourself and even helps others be aware of the energy they are spreading. Finally we will discuss some of the contagious energy they might be passing around.

Exercises:

1)     Contagious tag. Each person goes around with different color stickers or different color sticky notes. Assign each color as a different energy. i.e. anger, stress, giggles, hyper. Then have everyone run around trying to stick each other with their stickers. After five minutes or so, stop and see who did the best sharing their energy by who stuck the most stickers and on the most people.

2)     Contagious telephone. Sit in a circle. Assign one person to whisper a contagious energy into the ear of the person to their left. Have that person share that energy into the ear of the person to the left and so on, until you come around. This energy will more than likely make it around the room without anyone messing it up. (unlike random words)

3)     Practice sharing positive energy. Spend a few minutes trying to send positive energy to each other. i.e. giggles, fun, smiles. See how quickly you can spread it.

Always have fun!
