How to Play Light as a Feather: 8 Steps
Step 1: Gather Participants
To play Light as a Feather, you need at least four participants. One person will be the “body” and lie down on the floor while the others perform the levitation.
Step 2: Choose a Flat Surface
Find a flat surface to lie on, like a carpeted or wooden floor. This area should be free of debris and objects to ensure safe levitation.
Step 3: Arrange Participants
The person chosen as the “body” should lie down with their arms crossed over their chest. The other participants should sit or kneel around the “body,” placing their fingertips underneath the person’s body.
Step 4: Set the Atmosphere
Dim the lights and light candles around the room to create a sense of calm and focused energy. Have all participants take deep breaths to connect with each other’s energies.
Step 5: Begin Chanting
Choose one person as the main chanter, who will lead the group in chanting a simple phrase like, “Light as a feather, stiff as a board,” repeatedly.
Step 6: Tell a Story
As participants chant, whoever is leading this activity should tell a story about why the “body” has become weightless and can now easily be levitated by fingertips. This can be any imaginative story that explains how and why they have become lighter than air.
Step 7: Gradually Lift the “Body”
As chanting continues, participants should gently use their fingertips to lift the body from under their shoulders, small of back, knees, and ankles. Start subtly and slowly increase effort until everyone feels they have truly helped levitate their friend off the ground.
Step 8: Lower Back Down
After holding this levitation for a few seconds or taking photos, everyone should gently lower the “body” back down to the ground. Conclude the game by reconnecting and sharing experiences from this unique bonding activity.
Remember always to prioritize safety when playing Light as a Feather. Do not attempt to lift someone too high or push beyond physical limits. Enjoy this mystical experience together with friends for a memorable and spine-tingling adventure.
