2. Lean your head on a shoulder of other person.
3.Stay in this position as long as you want.

MEANING
Placing your hand on someones shoulder is a show of sympathy and trust. Placing your head on someones shoulder conveys intimacy and comfort, but also protection and care. In both situations there is one participant which is active and another which is passive, implying some sort of power play or dependence. The shouldering reframes those gestures as reciprocal, creating a mutual action of touch, sympathy and comfort.
