Semi-Permeable Membrane Practice

THE SELF

• Sensing into 3 layers — noticing what's present in
  • the external environment
  • your present life circumstances & conditions
  • the nucleus of your essential self
• Insulation — what helps you create spaciousness from the external world? what guides or redirects your attention?
  • ex. music, breath work, reading
• Metabolizing — how do you move energy through your system — and release it?
  • explore a minimalist, 2 part practice, containing~
    • motion + stillness
    • body + emotional/heart/spirit
• Absorbing — what’s one thing your membrane wants to absorb?
  • nutrition or inspiration for your membrane

CREATIVE PROJECT/PRACTICE

• Arriving — bring a specific practice or project to mind. how does it feel in your body right now?
• Sensing — what does this project need from you right now? where do you feel momentum, inspiration, or a tug? where do you feel resistance or tightness?
• Asking — ask the project:
  • what do you want to become?
  • what is your next life stage?
  • what would feel nourishing right now?
  • what are you ready to release or let go of?
• Shaping — where are you in the process of giving shape to it? notice the difference between shaping from the mind versus shaping from organic emergence.
• Waiting/Incubation — what is being slowly revealed to you? what signals are you receiving? how can you let time do its work?
