The tool begins with responding verbally to the question, What’s in the news? After some imagination works, Liz asks you to get into a position to do some embodiment work. Although she suggests getting on the floor, you can also create movements while seated, standing, or even laying down. Once you find a neutral position for your body, you can use any range of motions you’d like to create the gestures in response to Liz’s prompts. After you’ve collected and practiced your gestures, you will need something to write on and with, which can be paper, your computer, or even your phone.
As Liz says, you are doing a lot when you use the tool Postcards. One form of reflection that can help you capture much of what you noticed is to use a perpetual prompt, like “I found out…” and write quickly and continuous the things you noticed. Remember that you can notice things about the content, for example discoveries about what you imagined, how you moved, and your writing material. You can also notice things about the process, such as how it felt at different points, or what you needed to do in order to follow along with Liz and practice the tool. You can try using Postcards again with a prompt that is different than “What’s in the news?” to focus on some subject matter or a particular topic you are currently engaged with.
