Lesson 796: Exercises on Social Participation and Shared Spaces
Course duration:70 minutes
This lesson explores social participation and shared spaces. Through lending, returning, sharing, and entering public spaces, learners can gradually loosen their possessiveness towards objects. The shared experience reminds us that security comes not only from ownership but also from connection and trust. The focus of this exercise is on safety, gradual progress, and feasibility, rather than attempting to achieve all changes at once. Please record each action, change in anxiety, and change in space to create a reviewable practice track.

Lesson 796: Exercises on Social Participation and Shared Spaces
Click to view the read-aloud text
Shared spaces allow people to practice trust: things don't necessarily have to be owned by me, and resources can be borrowed, returned, shared, and circulated. When participating in public spaces, people gradually discover that security can come from connection, not just possession. Regarding "practice in social participation and shared spaces," focus on understanding, pausing, and choosing, rather than blaming yourself. Prepare a small piece of paper and write down one thing you most want to practice today, and then write down a minimum version that you can complete. This way, even if you're not feeling well, you still have a path to follow. You can think of today's practice as a gentle companionship, not a harsh exam. Choose a very small entry point, give yourself a manageable scope, and then proceed with steady movements. If resistance, frustration, or reluctance arises during the process, don't rush to deny it; simply gently acknowledge: I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now, but I can still continue slowly. When you're willing to stop and observe, you're no longer completely carried away by old habits. Even just pausing for ten more seconds, seeing one more thought, or making one more record are all part of the recovery. Please include these small changes; they are slowly accumulating. If you can't do something at a certain step, don't immediately give up. You can retreat to smaller goals, such as tidying up only one corner, judging only three items, or writing down only one feeling. Recovery requires flexibility, not forcing yourself. The gentler you adjust your methods, the easier it is for new habits to stay. When you finish practicing, give yourself a simple wrap-up. You can drink some water, wash your hands, open the window, or write down what you accomplished today on a piece of paper. This wrap-up will remind your body: I've done a little, and I can stop here for today. Remember, change isn't about overturning the past all at once, but about gradually returning life to yourself through gentle practice. You don't need to prove to anyone that you'll get better immediately; you just need to give yourself more understanding, more order, and more breathing space today. Taking it slow doesn't mean standing still; it means you're finally starting to move forward in a way that doesn't harm you. As long as you see even a little more than yesterday, it's already worth acknowledging. Please carefully count these small efforts; they are not superfluous comforts, but evidence that new habits are forming.
AI Healing Q&A
Describe to the AI the most difficult item, thought, or space to deal with today, focusing on shared spaces and social engagement. Let the AI break it down into context, thought, emotion, physical reaction, urge to hoard, and small alternative actions, generating a gentle alternative to remind yourself that you don't need to hoard for security. The exercise emphasizes safety, slowness, and feasibility, not aiming for complete change all at once.
○ Music therapy guidance
Music therapy revolves around shared spaces and social participation. Choose music with a steady rhythm and gentle melody, listen for three minutes first, then focus on a very small area. While listening, observe your breathing, shoulder and hand tension, and anxiety scores, using the music as a stabilizing signal for starting, pausing, and ending. The focus of the practice is safety, slowness, and feasibility; do not aim for complete change in one go. Please record your anxiety scores, physical reactions, and changes in the space before and after the activity.
○East-West Healing Tea Drinks
Recommended drink: Lemongrass and honey tea. Reason for recommendation: The refreshing lemongrass and smooth honey make it suitable for those experiencing stomach discomfort, tension, or fatigue after tidying up, helping to restore a sense of gentleness. Instructions: Simmer lemongrass for 5–7 minutes, then add honey while warm. Coordinate with three slow breaths while drinking, noting changes in anxiety before and after tidying up. Suitable as a short pause before and after tidying up to help stabilize movements. Can be used as part of a tidying ritual to help the mind and body return to rhythm.

2. Recipe and Method
Recipe (1–2 servings):
- 200 g celery root
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- A pinch of black pepper
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of thyme, optional
practice:
- Clean the main ingredients thoroughly and cut them into chunks, slices, or soak them in advance as needed.
- Prepare a small pot, baking tray, or frying pan, and choose to boil, stew, bake, or mix depending on the type of recipe.
- First process grains, beans, root vegetables, or protein ingredients that require a longer heating time.
- Season with olive oil, herbs, lemon juice, honey, or a pinch of salt, keeping it light and not too strong.
- Simmer, lightly roast, or gently stir over medium-low heat to allow the ingredients to soften and release their aroma.
- After finishing, let it sit for 2–3 minutes to allow the temperature to drop slightly, resulting in a smoother texture.
- Eat it slowly in small portions, as a support meal to stabilize your body before and after the process.
3. Small rituals for body and mind
When preparing roasted celery root with olive oil, you can first observe the color, aroma and texture of the ingredients, and gradually shift your attention from the cluttered space, the coming and going of items and external evaluations back to the action in your hands.
As you heat, stir, or plate, slow down and feel the scattered ingredients gradually come together to form a palatable whole. Remind yourself: I don't need to clean everything at once; I only need to complete one manageable small step.
When you take your first bite, focus on the warmth, softness, fragrance, or fullness to let your body know that it is safe and bearable, and you can relax a little.
4. Dietary Therapy Experience Record
- Record the time of consumption: before, during, or after tidying up, or before bedtime for mental and physical relaxation.
- Observe whether there are any changes in stomach burden, satiety, mental stability, and anxiety intensity within 30–60 minutes after consumption.
- If you consume it after cleaning, sorting, discarding, or reviewing, you can record whether roasted celery root in olive oil helps reduce fatigue and restore a sense of control over your body.

Mandala Viewing Healing
Mandala viewing revolves around shared spaces and social engagement. Choose an image with a clear center and orderly hierarchy, and slowly look from the outer circle towards the center, then back from the center to the whole. During practice, do not analyze whether the image is good or bad; simply experience the visual process from chaos to order, helping to return attention to boundaries and a sense of space. The emphasis of practice is on safety, slowness, and feasibility; do not aim to achieve complete change in one go.

○ Calligraphy and engraving therapy practice
The calligraphy and engraving therapy practice revolves around the theme of "shared space practice." This lesson does not prescribe fixed sentences; learners can choose 2 to 6 words from the course title, personal goals, or their feelings about the day to write. When writing, slow down the beginning, middle, and end of each stroke, observing whether you are rushing to finish, fill the page, or complete the task immediately. The focus of the practice is to let the strokes help slow down your breathing, rather than striving for a complete work.
○ Art Therapy Guidance
Art therapy revolves around the design of shared spaces and social participation. Draw a room, a drawer, or a desktop, gradually creating a passageway, a blank space, and a usable area from a state of overcrowding. Finally, write, "I can restore the space little by little," using the artwork to practice moving from a sense of loss of control to an manageable order. The focus of this practice is safety, slowness, and feasibility; it doesn't aim for complete change all at once.

○ Diary Healing Suggestions
Journaling therapy revolves around recording shared spaces and social participation. Write down a small area and an item you dealt with today, the reason for keeping it, your anxiety level, and the final decision. Also, record whether your body relaxed, whether the space became clearer, and a small step you can take tomorrow, making the tidying experience visible. The emphasis of this practice is on safety, slowness, and feasibility, not on achieving complete change all at once.
