Ask them to clear their mind

7. Repeat steps 3-6 until you think you can spot the difference between when they are thinking of each person.

8. Ask them to clear their mind and think of either person. Then notice whatever you notice about them. Do they look more like they did in step 3 or step 5?

Check with your partner if you are right. Do this 10 times in a row and keep track of your accuracy.

Variation

A variation of this exercise is to ask your partner questions, such as “which person lives closest to you” or “which person is taller” and then calibrate the non-verbal responses to your answer.

Calibration Exercise 2: Like/Dislike Auditory

This exercise is similar to the first, only this time you will be using the auditory channel to calibrate.

1. Clear your mind of any thoughts.

2. Turn your back on your partner. Do not touch them.

3. Expand your Senses and notice every sound in the room, especially those coming from your partner. Let go of all your preconceived notions about them.

4. Ask them to think about someone they like. As your partner does this she will count out loud from 1-10, or speak in gibberish (to keep you out of content!).

Note the voice qualities: volume, rhythm, pitch, speed, tone, pauses.

5. Now ask them to clear their mind.

6. From a neutral state ask them to think of someone they mildly dislike. As your partner starts to count again, listen to what you notice now. Note any changes, in particular those that contrast with what you heard in step 3.

7. Ask them to clear their mind.

8. Repeat steps 3-6 until you think you have tuned into the difference between when they are thinking of each person.

9. Ask them to clear their mind and think of either person. As they count out loud once again, notice whatever you notice about that. Do they sound more like they did in step 3 or step 5?

Check with your partner if you are right. Do this 10 times in a row and keep track of your accuracy.

Calibration Exercise 3: Like/Dislike Kinaesthetic

This exercise is similar to the first two, only this time you will be using the kinaesthetic channel to calibrate.

1. Clear your mind of any thoughts and close your eyes.

2. Place your hands on your partner’s chest/shoulders for one minute to feel their breathing. This will sensitise you to the kinaesthetic modality.

3. With your eyes closed, hold hands with your partner palm to palm. Feel the weight of their palms pressing against yours.

4. Expand your Senses and notice every feeling and sensation, especially those coming from the contact with your partner. Let go of all your preconceived notions about them.

5. Ask them to think about someone they like. As your partner does this, note the feelings you have – both the sensations in your palms and in the rest of your body (your “gut instinct”, so to speak). Pay attention to such distinctions as:

weight, temperature, sweatiness of palms as well as internal sensations (i.e.

feelings in other parts of your body).

6. Now ask them to clear their mind.

7. From a neutral state ask them to think of someone they mildly dislike. Again, feel for what you notice now. Note any changes, in particular those that contrast with what you heard in step 3.

8. Ask them to clear their mind.

9. Repeat steps 3-6 a few times. It does not matter if you don’t feel you have acclimatised into the differences between when they are thinking of each person.

10. Ask them to clear their mind and think of either person. As they do, notice whatever you notice about that. Then simply take a wild guess. Keep guessing until you start to guess accurately.

11. Make a note of how and where you were feeling something when you knew the right answer.

Calibration Exercise Variation 1: Truth/Lie²⁰

This exercise is almost the same as Like/Dislike. It builds on the skill you started learning there. You can use this variation to systematically train up your visual, auditory and kinaesthetic channels of perception.

Remember: this is only an exercise. It does not matter if you get it right or wrong straight away. With time and practice you will improve!

1. Clear your mind and Expand your Senses as before. Let go of all your preconceived notions about your partner.

2. This time ask them a question, which they will answer truthfully. You can ask any question you like, but keep it emotionally neutral, e.g. are you wearing shoes today? What is your name? Etc. Observe what you notice about them.

3. Now ask them to clear their mind.

4. From a neutral state ask them another question. This time get them to lie when they answer. Look and listen to what you notice changing here. Note any changes, in particular any differences from what you noticed in step 2.

5. Ask them to clear their mind.

6. Repeat steps 2-5 until you think you can spot them lying.
