I often drive the interstate highway (Mass Pike) for 2 hours home at
night, from Boston MA to my home in North Guilford CT.<br>
<br>
One time, I literally fell asleep. Driving. I woke up to a **bump**.<br>
I look up, I am driving, it is night-time, I am looking at the car
in front of me. Apparently I touched this car with my car. At 65
MPH!<br>
(We were going at similar speeds, him 65MPH, me maybe 66MPH, so I
kind of nudged the car in front of me.....)<br>
<br>
The driver of that that car immediately pulled away at about 90
miles an hour, putting distance on me like a bad habit.<br>
<br>
There was no one else on the road. <br>
<br>
I pulled over, scared to death, jolted with massive levels of
adrenalin. Eventually I settled down and slept for about half an
hour.<br>
<br>
And drove very slowly home.<br>
<br>
<br>
Every since then, whenever I drive at night, if I am the least bit
tired, I just pull over and take a nap.<br>
<br>
And it is amazing. 15 minutes of shuteye makes everything right.<br>

Dear Kari,<br>
<br>
when I go through the various kinds of things people can do at
an os event (design a project, have a collegiate consultation,
mull over a wicked issue, write a poem, play...) I usually
also say that participants have used breakout session time for
a nap.<br>
In one case this was picked up by a participant as an "isssue"
he invited to.<br>
In a couple of cases there was the wish in the planning group
to actually arrange for a napping space (this happened, for
instance, at an os event I facilitated in the space of the
Heilig Kreuz Church where we had the 2010 WOSonOS...)..<br>
<br>
Take care and a pretty tested way of taking care of yourself
is to just take a nap<br>
<br>
I will take a nap during the soccer match on Sunday...<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

This is fascinating..<br>
The supine posture: Having the front or ventral part bent
backwards.<br>
This as a sign of trust in others or a show of
vulnerability, much open space.<br>
<br>
If I understand this controversial topic correctly, then
apart from<br>
the personal benefits to my body, the nap is also a
facilitation tool<br>
and an essential part of open space and the law of two feet
as part of<br>
the butterfly behavior.<br>
<br>
I sometimes say that the butterfly has some valued gifts to
give to<br>
the Open Space, apart from the opportunity, then it gives
the feeling<br>
of trust to contribute from the hart and to open up and be
vulnerable,<br>
step forward and offer your gifts. If the butterflies have
been<br>
removed, then I fear that I will be removed if I show
vulnerability.<br>
<br>
I wonder if I should find the courage to demonstrate the nap
as part<br>
of the facilitator opening in an urgent Open Space for a
corporate<br>
client.<br>
<br>
In my minds eye it would go something like this:<br>
<br>
- Sponsor opening speech:<br>
Welcome, we have invited you here to <insert the urgent
theme>. And<br>
now I give the stage to our facilitator.<br>
<br>
- Facilitator opening speech:<br>
<The normal introduction about the blank wall, personal
responsibility<br>
and the principles> .. But as I welcome you all to enter
the center<br>
and collect some writing papers, then I like to remember one
of the<br>
roles of the facilitator. It is to foster a culture of trust
to create<br>
a saver space for innovation. From the beginning of the Open
Space as<br>
Technology, the nap has been one of the most trust building
tool there<br>
is, I intent to use the most effective tools for our urgent
theme<br>
<restate theme>, and as you write our and announce
your issues and<br>
opportunities I will be here taking a nap. My assistant has
a<br>
microphone for topic announcements...<br>
<br>
Now all I think about:<br>
... How to be present while napping?<br>
<br>
I will probably not do this and justify it by the
imagination that I<br>
am needed at the wall while the topic announcements is
happen. But I<br>
could add the nap as part of my formal practice, when I
announce the<br>
marketplace to be open. ... This is interesting, I am
adding a thing<br>
to Open Space, not taking a thing away. or .. I am
conflicted if a nap<br>
is to add a thing or to remove a thing, that is I am
removing me as<br>
facilitator without removing my presence as one. ... There
are many<br>
questions, should I nap in the circle to the side or at the
center, or<br>
keep to the less intrusive nap by going to the side in the
next room.<br>
<br>
I wonder.<br>

Hi Harrison<br>
<br>
Ach supination!<br>
<br>
Thank you for a new word to describe this good activity.<br>
<br>
Me and my mate Sarah have evolved another nothern european
word for this<br>
- we call it<br>
<br>
schlafening<br>
<br>
A nice cocktail of German and English but it may belong -
like supine,<br>
supination and such to a new language for the art of
napping....<br>
- the juice is in the pronounciation....<br>

This discussion about napping is definitely getting out of
hand...to say<br>
nothing of control! As one who has taken no small amount
of abuse over the<br>
years in regard to my proclivity for supination, I am
simply delighted to<br>
see so many closet supinators coming out. “Supination,” by
the way, is a<br>
word I made up ( I think). As you probably know, to be
“supine” is to lie<br>
down, and that is the normal position of nappers – hence
supination,<br>
supinator, supinated, etc. It is a great cover word, so
you don’t give away<br>
the secret! And every arcane practice MUST have its secret
nomenclature.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I confess that I supinate primarily for one reason: It
feels good. Never<br>
according to plan, but always in response to need and
situation. I have a<br>
sign in my office that says, “No day is so bad that it
can’t be improved<br>
with a nap.” True! I find it also helps me to pace my
energy expenditure. In<br>
fact I find that the critical time for a good supination
is when I am over<br>
the top busy. It restores a sense of flow, purpose and
presence. It also<br>
reminds me that I am really not essential. The world will
turn all by itself<br>
J<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In the special situation of facilitating an Open Space,
supination has a<br>
special value, I think. The supination of the facilitator
say in ways that<br>
nothing else can – that The People are in Charge. Really,
they do it all by<br>
themselves. And the fact that nobody ever really notices
that I am absent<br>
drives the point home. Folks, It is your thing!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So Supinate to your heart’s content – it will fix up just
about anything, I<br>
find.<br>

Hi friends of napping and open spaces<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
What an important sharing going on here….<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I too find it useful and kind to my self and others to nap
at a good timing<br>
and an appropriate place during days of work and days of
resting both -<br>
whenever possible.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My mother was a great teacher of this very human practice
- she napped every<br>
day of her life between 20 minutes to 1 hour - and she
lived until she was<br>
94.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I became a practitioner early on and although I have
wavered in my<br>
dedication during some years of getting too busy - I am
returning to the<br>
practice and enjoyment with very good fruits<br>
<br>
- similar to what you have all described….<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We had an one our intentional and collective napping
during a Open space day<br>
at the warrior of the heart dojo in Croatia in 2012 -
where 4 generation<br>
napped on the lawn together<br>
<br>
for 1 hour before we did the harvest / convergence after a
days work in the<br>
Open space embrace….<br>
<br>
- it brought more consciousness and ease to the harvest
of new<br>
understanding and wiser action steps.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers to the art of napping!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
have a good summer with lots of napping going on<br>

Hi Artur, Harrison, Spark, Adriana and you other nappers
out there,<br>
<br>
tell me what works for you around napping: time of day,
length, space,<br>
light, naked, clothed... I have been experimenting (trying
a regular rhythm<br>
or when I feel I need a nap, short such as 15 minutes and
up to an hour,<br>
setting a timer or leave it to whenever I wake up...) and
its not really<br>
working for me, yet!<br>
While I hate to admit it, it annoys me when people grin or
joke about my<br>
napping attempts.<br>
In my os work, I have taken naps. Once I did it in a
semi-public space and<br>
was rudely attacked by a participant: How dare you take a
nap when things<br>
are really chaotic here! After that I chose out-of-sight
spaces.<br>
When I take a nap while a soccer game is going on (in
Germany its serious<br>
business and everyone is off their whatever after the game
last nite) I dont<br>
tell anyone!!<br>
<br>
I would not bother you but since it seems to be such an
essential activity I<br>
thought I dare, its been an important issue for me!<br>
<br>
Have a nap-rich day<br>
