I allow for my mind to be blank

 

 

 

The hissing breathing is immediately taking my body to a state of relaxation

 

Feeling the cells

 

Tingling everywhere in my body

 

The heavy weight

 

 

 

Attention constantly moves

 

 

 

I move as if being moved

 

 

 

Elongating my body [inaudible]         

                         There’s a clear relationality

 

 

 

Directions

 

Minimal effort

 

Reducing muscle tension

 

Detailed physical [inaudible]

 

 

 

Memory and imagination

 

Something has happened before and I am reliving it

 

 

 

I feel the coldness of the floor on my skin

 

And there is an impossibility to relive that exactly as before

 

 

 

Stretch

 

A predefined form from within to work

Do I need it?

 

 

 

Partially stretching

 

Partially releasing

 

 

 

It’s repeatable

 

Effort

 

 

 

Opening my lungs and upper torso

 

Dealing with breath

 

Fear of

 

How much can I breathe opening up the joints

 

 

 

My attention is with sensation especially on the outbreath

 

 

 

Surrendering

 

 

 

What’s the relationship between particular repeatability and singularity?

 

 

 

Attending also to words forming with meaning

 

 

 

Certain sensory systems are put at rest like

 

Sense of balance

 

If you have your eyes closed vision

 

 

 

And other sensory systems are activated

 

Fore-grounded

 

 

 

Lifting and compressing

 

 

 

The breath again pacing words

 

 

 

Attention

 

Pacing movement

 

Skin

 

Joints

 

Hip joint

 

 

 

Structure

 

Pressure

 

 

 

Ear

 

Physical passivity in a sense

 

In a muscular sense

 

Well

 

Active release

 

 

 

Imagining weight

 

 

 

Facing fear and claustrophobia

 

From a specific manipulation

 

 

 

Resting bones

 

 

 

Replacing weight with tension or with effort

 

Replacing weight with effort

 

 

 

Memory of touch connected to imagined touch

 

 

 

Rhythm and regularity

 

Keeping track

 

But also always slightly losing track

 

 

 

Talk                               Rhythm

 

 

 

Something is happening to me

 

 

 

Something is being done to me

 

 

 

Something is allowed to happen

 

I am doing something

 

 

 

Being taken to certain limit points

 

 

 

Reverberation

 

Of movement activity from the feet to my head

 

 

 

Predictability

 

 

 

[inaudible]

 

Of difference

 

 

 

Simplicity and sense

 

 

 

Slightly boring state of mind

 

 

 

Fragments of attention

 

Tough dream

 

 

 

Preparatory practice

 

 

 

The question of alteration

 

And

 

 

 

Why are things done?

 

 

 

A means of patterning to change the habitual patterns

 

 

 

Scanning through the body from top to bottom

 

With a feeling of knowledge and wisdom behind why this movement and where that may lead

 

Replacing habits with other habits

 

Extending the repertoire of habits

 

Producing angles with my body

 

 

 

Realigning sensing, perceiving and reflecting

 

 

 

Lifting the weight of my legs from the floor

 

 

 

Trying to imagine another body

 

 

 

 

 

Facing the nodes of tension in my body

 

 

 

 

 

Making quite small

 

Compact form

 

 

 

 

 

Working diagonally

 

 

 

Working with parts of my body and now shaking the whole body

 

The mass and the weight of the internal organs

 

Very different from the rest

 

 

 

What’s gonna be taking part?

 

What’s gonna be left behind?

 

 

 

[inaudible]

 

 

 

 

 

I cannot press my knees down like another person does

 

 

 

Small shifts

 

Twisting

 

 

 

The whole spine

 

 

 

Playing with the weight of the planet

 

Remembering the floor

 

 

 

 

 

[inaudible]             Even with my sore lungs [inaudible]

 

 

 

 

 

Thinking from the awareness of being touched

 

 

 

How not to force

 

 

 

Remembering the future

 

Open torso

 

Inviting touch

 

 

 

Shift of mind changes the shift of the weight

 

And the shift of the focus shifts the weight

 

 

 

 

 

Will and

 

Thinking are put at a distance from each other

 

 

 

It feels we are accessing the deep nervous system

 

Both of the nervous systems

 

But on a deep level

 

 

 

 

 

Moving not moving

 

 

 

 

 

Vibrating entirely

 

 

 

 

 

Teaching the sensory receptors not to panic

 

But to stay calm

 

 



 

What is the logic carried in going from one position to another?

 

What is the combined effect of those?

 

 

 

 

 

Which part of the brain has now a lower activity?

 

 

 

 

 

Distributing tension

 

 

 

 

 

Immediating sensing and thinking

 

 

 

 

 

Taking time to feel the global effect of local actions
