how it works
the empathy labyrinth's very basic instructions:
-
Identify the situation in your life that you would like to work on.
-
What’s your intention? (what are you hoping to accomplish?)
-
Go around the EL identifying each of your Beloved Outer Jackals. (judgments, assumptions, & the like) “What you’re saying about the other.” Go around the EL identifying each of your Beloved Inner Jackals, (judgments, assumptions, & the like) “What you’re saying about yourself.”
-
Observation: “What did you see/hear (without an evaluation)?”
-
Go around the EL identifying all of your feelings.
-
Go around the EL identifying all of your unmet needs/values.
-
Then narrow them down to about 5 needs/values. Now imagine each of your unmet needs/values being met. Take your time. Notice what you’re feeling in your heart. From this place of heart connection, would you like to make a request of yourself or the other to make life more wonderful?
-
Try to imagine what the other person is feeling and needing.
