Blob Level 5 What is ‘Level 5’? It is what most of us do everyday. It is how most of us communicate without being taught. Let me illustrate: imagine standing at a bus stop. Someone in front of us in the great British queue turns around and asks, “Does this bus go to Trafalgar Square?” We will answer this because it is an appropriate question for our degree of familiarity. If, however, the individual in the queue turns to us and asks, “Do you like sleeping on your side or on your back?” we are likely not to answer as it is the wrong type of question when we don’t know a stranger. Most of us use the 5 levels without realising it. So what’s the point of knowing them then? The purpose of this text is to unlock the 5 levels so that we can understand what level we use with the groups we work with, and also so that we can help those who are having difficulties with going deeper. The Blobs are a tool which can work on all 5 levels depending upon how you use them. Blob  YMCA  Training  Manual           You  are  a  beautiful  human  person
