The Odoki Method

Introduction

Let’s introduce ourselves.

What do I want to be different?

Let’s do a brief exercise: a body scan.

What we did here was explore scanning experience.

Noticing a breadth of experience.

Experimentation encouraged
Tools to explore
No one-size-fits-all exists
An instructor on hand
Here we introduce the course’s approach - to equip us with the tools to work effectively with our own experience. Given our own experience is unique - no-one in the world has ever existed with this array of experience - the particular tools we will need will be unique.

Therefore, we cannot give participants a one-size-fits-all package and expect it to work. Instead, we will introduce participants to a number of approaches, and encourage them to try each approach out, and note which approach has the most beneficial effect. Experimentation here is not just allowed, it is encouraged. If a participant has an idea of something that they think might work, they are encouraged to try this out. The instructor will also be on-hand to support participants in this.

Explore what is happening?

The Breath

In this exercise we paid attention to a single aspect of our experience. This typically leads to greater calm.
