Typical persona expression

Expression during a
soul-to-soul interaction

This student wrote:
I know the face and the feeling it expresses on the left well. It is the look of tentativeness, uncertainty and not fully trusting the interaction with another. There is a "holding back" to check it out before fully coming forth to meet the other that shows up as anxious tension. The face on the right is astonishing!! The softness and availability for soul-to-soul interaction shows in a dropping away of the anxiety—both as a feeling and on the face. This is the state of being that I want for myself and for all those I meet in the world.
