alright I just wrote. Why Well-Trained Human Senses Are The Most Mathematically Rigorous Wellness Approach. over on my longform blog! this is a big roundup of lots of my worldviews. curious what yall think

ok @DrMylesDC weighs in and says it has similarities to long and mid tides in craniosacral. 👀

taking another class in this series on Thursday, till Sunday! excited to learn about all the tendons joints and bursas of the axial skeleton (spine hips skull).

omg @chercher_ai saw this slide and thought of me, to tag me 🥲. putting it out there I’d happily collab with Hannah.

intermediate emotional work pitfall:. trying to “feel the maximally big feeling.” afaict it seems like depth, thoroughness, and presence of honesty about moment to moment experience - even if that experience is “I feel numb” or “I feel distant”. is more important.

oooh I got this reply as a DM. part of why I want to name it is, naming immediately shows deviations from named outcome. some people do symbolic-subconscious dream, but not everyone. so maybe best to name it something more “at the common root of the thing”

motivation.

other candidate would be “fascia dream trance”.

* aim to induce. really, we perturb a body in that direction. all results are still drawn from a distribution and not deterministic . sometimes people find it in less than 5m, or sometimes it’s so far away from their normal lived experience that they only get a glimpse.

so, my bodywork sessions induce*."dreamlike deep-parasympathetic nervous system state from within which body tissues spontaneously self-organize". and this is reproducible and I want to name it. what if I called it the “parasympathetic dream trance”.

argh, more motivation in favor of naming it something.

and… it was obvious from how he told the story that, he really meant it.

one thing I super appreciate about colleague @JamesMayfield_. he’s the first person I ever met with total conviction that he’s “living his purpose.” he storytold sometimes he’d feel crappy but then light up with energy bc he knew a client needed him to help with heartbreak, etc.

toying with summarizing this as. "feel your feelings to the extent that they can be met with actual resource". otherwise distraction and dissociation / repression are the move, actually. so long as underlying ~resource~ is being cultivated.

reposting this!! adrian is one of the most relationally-present people I've met and I'm excited to learn from him, I'll hopefully be in this class . I've described him as "he's a therapist but probably an energy healer honestly - around him, my feelings start to feel themselves".

I did come back for a real reason. mostly - the downside of the steadiness was that I felt isolated . but, I also felt real. here I feel extremely connected. but also sometimes pulled towards the un-real, and it’s a constant practice to come back to earth and depth.

the part about “being pushed around by every whim of a zeitgeist” honestly resonates with me. when I lived in Asheville I found it so easy to live a life in touch with the bones of life . here - so many loud hype cycles that I don’t care about. but they are loud.

> Had I gone out west I would have been, I think, much more pushed around by every whim of a zeitgeist. I think I would think very differently today. > Probably I would be much richer, and have no family.

the fact that it’s relatively unknown, too, is an interesting twist but probably not required.

something I really like about my job is, I am definitely putting my energy towards something that I want to keep existing in the world.
