META-STATE BLESSINGS

One of the things I did in my first two or three years of Meta-State trainings was to create different exercises that would be fun ways to learn to think in terms of meta-states and meta-state structures. After introducing the structure of state-upon-state and the effect of bringing one state to another, I would invite the following: Meta-State Play Exercise: Get into groups of 5 people, and each person in the group write 5 states on 5 sheets of paper. The states that you choose can be positive states or negative states. They can be your best states, your favorite states, the desired states that you seldom experience, or they can be the states that you dread, fear, dislike, and do not want to experience. Once you have identified and written down five states on a piece of paper, fold the paper or wad it up and toss your five states into a hat. One your group has 25 states in the hat, pass the hat around and pull out three or four. Your job now is to see what kind of meta- states you can create from them.
