It just takes practice. It's incredibly powerful once you master it. I couldn't do it well at first - I kept reverting to critical analysis based on my ideas, reconciling them with my idea.

The person who taught me much of this told me one day, in frustration: 'There's another presence in the room. It's completely independent of you. It is not a reaction to you, a variation on you, a challenge to you, or a commentary on you. It didn't develop through life with any consideration of what you might be thinking.'

Give them the stage, walk off of it, shut up, sit down, and pay close attention. It doesn't matter what you think. We all think, at some point, 'but that thing is wro-' No really, shut up! :)
