"The first thing to do in almost all intense interactions is to try to get as centered... as possible."
"Discussions would center on the strengths and weaknesses of each..."
"mediation does not center on solving the..."
"...a person's sense of stability and order, particularly in the midst of confusing and threatening situations."
"...emotional stability..."
"...the other negotiator deceives you or tries to throw you off balance" [Mediation is Jousting]

(5) Taking Body Movement/Object Manipulation, say a bit about things the body does, how much we learn through our lives about body movement. Give some simple examples (e.g., we take this divorce process step by step; emotions sometimes burst out).

(6) Ask for spontaneous guesses as to what other very common body movement-related source domains might be interesting (this step depends heavily on everyone having grasped source/target domain distinctions and basic metaphor structure).

(7) Go to Body Movement page and illustrate: Targets may be the mediation process, the particular issue, the methods used by a mediator, etc. Sources found in the expert literature on mediation are shown and discussed to give more ideas of how this metaphor category can be instructive to become familiar with.

Also, be aware about how these metaphors structure the scope and point of view taken by mediators about how they should mediate. For example, it is most common to discuss the issues being negotiated as things to see clearly, to have a point of view about, to focus on, etc. Much less common are the rich metaphors of using the ears (e.g., the rhythm, the tone, story as told, harmony...).

So we can talk about how some body metaphors are dominant and other body metaphors are not (or other metaphor systems are not used) and we can also begin to talk about the entailments of the metaphors used, and how extentions can be
made using other, as yet unmentioned entailments.

Do not overlook the broader schematic metaphors that are based on body movement, e.g., journey, war, sports; on force dynamics, e.g., causation; on containers, e.g, emotions, psychodynamics, definitions with implications for rules, parts of construction.

Also note how what is included may tend to block or supplant other metaphors from the same general domain.

And that entirely different source domains could have been used.

Simple extensions are possible...

Finally, larger-scale schematic metaphors are based on these more generic ones.

Focus on what is underneath...
Focus on the base (basis) of...
Look at the part of the dispute that's alive, animated, has legs.

"...consider what problem-solving technique should be applied to handle a dispute."
"the procedure that will be used to handle a topic area or particular issues."
"adherents of each point of view handle conflicts in somewhat different ways."

(Journey schema uses locations and territory, where locations are starting points, destination; territory is ground covered, etc.)

"...they try to trip him up."
"the mediators' attempts to move them to places..."
