Module 2 illuminates five more sessions integrated with the 5Rhythms exploring intimacy, ease, and flow. The obstacles to these being discomforts, stress, and distraction. Fear rests at the root of these obstacles. This next layer of discovering/uncovering the art of presence empowers each of us to go deeper towards an “archeological dig into frozen history” as Reich said.
On my personal continuing journey of awakening, by melting the armor of my generational character shapes I started to feel the distance I placed between myself and the people I love. With new awareness and acceptance of my sensitivity and vulnerability, I began to notice a layer of protection. This manifested as an increase in rigidity {or tissue density the opposite of fluidity} and as a limited range of motion that rippled out especially in my hips and my shoulder girdle. Also, injuries and scar tissue created compensations and blocked feelings.
These insulated parts of my body protected me from giving and receiving love fully. On another level, this deep core fear of love and intimacy had been cultivated from family conditioning from who knows how far back.
The integration of Somatomy evolves through bringing your attention to sensing your physiology, connecting your mind and body, and opening the space between stimulus and response. Body intelligence emerges when your mind’s awareness is connected with your body’s movements and your sensory experience unite with your full presence as you interact with your world.
