1) share from your heart:
Speak of yourself - not of others, try and share the real ongoing present moment rather than stories of the past, use the attention received as speaker to stabilize your awareness and reach even deeper than you could by yourself.

2) Listen from the heart:

Unconditionally accept what you hear, do not interfere or respond, just be a loving witness to the other person's inner ongoing. We are not here to fix anyone - just listen and you will witness spontaneous breakthroughs in their own time. If you wish to express a deep resonance with something being said, you can use the code word “AHO” or a simple “MMM..”

 

3) Speak in the right measurement:

A session has its limits of capacity. Respect the size of the group and the time agreed upon as you take your time to share. When finished sharing say “thank you for listening” and take a mutual moment of silence before diving in to the next sharing. *The circle facilitator can time the sharings and signal when it's time to wrap it up.

 

4) What is spoken in the circle - stays in the circle

Do not share with others what you heard in your partner's intimate sharings. Also, do not reopen a participant's sharing after the circle is done. This container allows deep vulnerability which will usually not be appropriate while standing momentarily at the door on your way out.
