Connirae: Now that we’ve done the visual part, let’s check the auditory, and find out if that’s already done or if we still need to do more. As you look at them over there, notice whether your ears came over here also, and have already rejoined your body as the Observer.
Bob: Yes, I’m hearing from here now.
(When we make one change toward alignment, such as seeing both people at eye level, or equidistant, frequently other changes toward alignment just happen. As Connirae continues, she is sensitive to the fact that Bob’s voices may already by more aligned. She continues to invite alignment wherever it has not yet occurred.)
Connirae: Great. Now, do you still have the commentary voice that was around your head? The one that said “I’m really stupid. I can’t believe this?”
Bob: It’s different.
Connirae: Okay. Where is the voice that’s commenting now?
Bob: It’s coming from in front of me. (Bob’s gesture indicates that the voice is talking from about 2 feet in front of him.)
Connirae: The ideal location of the Observer voice works slightly differently for different people. Usually it comes from inside our body, as the Observer. So, Bob, let’s find out if this will be useful for you. What happens if the voice commenting on the conversation comes from your throat as the Observer? ... (Connirae gestures where the voice was, and moves her hand to indicate where the voice will go. She gives Bob a moment to notice what this shift is like.) Which do you like better? ... What we want is a clean observer voice that allows you to take in data the most resourcefully.
Bob: This whole thing is so unfamiliar, I’m not sure. It’s so different to have the sound coming from my throat!
Connirae: So, you can experiment with that a little more, and as it becomes more familiar, notice which way works better for you.
Bob: I think it’s better from inside (he gestures toward his throat).
Connirae: And Bob, you can make sure this Observer voice is also using Observer pronouns. Rather than saying “I” and “you”, this voice will say “he”, “she”, and “they”. “They are doing this, she this, he that,” etc.
(Connirae allows time for Bob to listen to his voice stating observations using “he”, “she”, “they”, etc.)
