How it Works

Let the players play a short scene. Then ask them to repeat the following mantra in their head, and replay the scene 'I'm so happy, I'm so happy'. In many cases, you will find that the whole scene becomes happier.

Variations

  • Try with other mantras, like 'I hate you', and see what the effect is.

  • Let players choose a mantra, and then play a scene.

See Mantra Introduction for more about mantras. See also Impro for Storytellers for a discussion on the use of Mantras.
