Allow for at least 30 minutes. You will need your pre-prepared Balloon-Tight Ring from Somatic Act 19 and a comfortable place to move and rest.
This Somatic Act can be experienced as a solo, duet or group.
With eyes open,
begin by walking
sensing
the contact of your feet
on the ground
Noticing how the pelvis
and torso
moves and shifts
with the weight
of your feet…
Attending
now and then
to your breath.
Allowing time…
Finding a pause...
Sensing your feet now
in stillness.
Closing your eyes
begin slowly
shifting the weight from one foot
to another
How does this
affect your pelvis,
torso, your breathing?
Attending to the arising sensations.
Allowing time...
And then slowly,
opening the eyes.
And now, taking your Balloon-Tight Ring,
placing its two circles together,
on top of each other,
and entering
through the hole
with arms or the legs first
as you would enter a T-shirt
or trousers
Gently move the Balloon-Tight Ring
along your body
so it arrives to sit
around the
top of the pelvis.
Allowing time...
Then, slightly adjust the upper Balloon-Tight Ring
to the right or left
so that its balloons´ location
is at a diagonal to the lower Balloon-Tight Ring´s
balloons.
This creates a more even sense of
compression around the pelvis.
Allowing time...
And then, return to walking
dressed now in your Balloon-Tight Ring.
Noticing how the weight falls
through the feet,
and their unfolding relationships
with pelvis, torso, and breath…
Allowing time…
As you are ready,
you can begin to explore
moving in your Balloon-Tight Ring
finding different body positions
such as lying, sitting or standing
Moments of movement
Moments of stillness.
Noticing how the touch contact
of the Balloon-Tight Ring
shifts the experience
of your body…
Allowing time...
If you would like,
you can also change
the location of the Balloon-Tight Ring
so that it rests
a little lower on the pelvis
or a bit higher up
towards the torso.
Sensing the unfolding
relationships between
feet, pelvis, torso, and breath.
Moments of movement
Moments of stillness.
Sensing the balloons
touching and surrounding
your body
three-dimensionally.
Allowing time...
Sensing how the touch contact
of the balloons
shifts and changes
as you move, breathe and rest.
Allowing time…
