Meta-games

What better way to practise sensing, shaping and sourcing than by playing games together :D?

So let's use this topic to share awesome meta-games with each other. To inspire each other to remember the meta-process isn't all about serious faces, but also about having fun with friends and learning in fun new ways.

To start off, I will write down a game I enjoyed playing a lot:

Meta-pictionary
How does it work: One person shapes a landscape/scenery around him. Close your eyes, and imagine standing there. Use all your senses to shape this. Imagine seeing the scenery around you, including for example the mountains on the horizon and the objects that are close. Imagine how it would smell there, imagine the feel of the textures, imagine the background noises like birds. And make them stronger and stronger. Let the other people sense and say out loud what they see/feel/hear. Most of the time the combination of all the sensing people makes a pretty good description of what the other person had made. Also, it's fun to already sense what happens while the shaping is being done. Often you can feel objects/shapes being put in place.

Notes:
- When we played this yesterday we were sitting in the same room, it might work differently through Skype.
- Don't use your beta-brain too much. Just say everything that pops up, that tends to work better than think "Ok I think I heared birds, but that is probably to straightforward, that's my head making things up". Trust your senses :).
- Do not forget to ground the scenery away afterwards!

We played this yesterday evening with some people, and it worked amazingly well. When someone imagined a cliff with the ocean and birds, we could hear the birds, feel the vastness, sense the waves and water. When someone imagined an old landscape, brown mountains, a vulcano, dinosaurs walking by, people saw mountains and the vastness of the scenery, smelled an old earthy smell, felt fire, and someone felt a big fat STOMP in front of her the moment a dinosaur was planted there :D

I'm curious to more games and fun ways to practise that other people have come up with, so here is the place to share them :)!

One game I played back in intro with a group once we learned scanning was something like...

Someone thinks of a song or listens to a song and really tries to hold the energy of it. Other people use whatever way they scan to figure out the genre, the sound, what instruments they pick up on, etc.

We did this with colors as well at some point also. But focused more on the person than the space around them.
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
