This experiment worked well. I was aiming to create a set of actions that everyone would understand yet still cause them to express the action differently. People can obviously not absorb information by standing on it, but it is interesting what one imagines they absorb through undertaking the steps. I imagine doing this experiment over and over and the room becoming more and more quiet, as participants begin to meditate on the experience and "absorb" more of the information around them.
