BIG BOOK OF BLOBS

... what is happening here?
What feelings do the two on the right have?
The one with the fist ....
- does this blob person feel happy?
- what are the feelings inside that person right now?
The one on the left - how is this blob peson feeling?
Which of these has the nearest feelings to your own - right now - at the moment?

When are you at your most vunerable?
..... is it when you are either;-
Hungry
Angry
Lonely
Tired

Having picked one - how do you feel at that time?
Pick a blob figure which describes your feelings best - at that particular time?

END OF EXERCISE - hope you did it?
The experience of 'doing it' is different than just reading the words.

These are a few questions relating to one module from a full page of these blobs which tell a story. It is just one Blob Tools in the book. The story can be viewed differently by different humans present - and the reading of the story can be a beautiful moment of discovery. Reading the feelings in the blobs can help in understanding ourselves - our own feelings and go on to be better at understanding others.

Unlike words - blob tools don't tell you what to think - they cultivate discovery.
Self awareness.
Skill.
Sensitivity.
Self revelation.
Depth.
Wonder!
