Sun, 1 April 2007 With this 20 minute podcast we bring our attention to the Four Senses of the Embodied Self - Touch, Well-Being, Self-Movement, Balance. They tells us we are at home in an earthly life - at home in our skin, at home in the world and at home in the presence of others. Imagine being perfectly at home. Alas, karma means we don't have a perfect home. Yet, the grace of destiny tells us we can redecorate, even renovate, our home - our embodied resident self. But first, we need to take detailed pictures of our home. We need to examine and observe the Four Senses of the Embodied Self. Touch is the first sense of the four. It is the sense that tells us there is one, that we are contained and alone. Well-being is the sense that tells us there are two, one that needs and one that meets needs. These are the "mother" senses. It is the mother that embraces and contains (the womb) and the mother that nourishes and comforts (the breast). When we pay attention to the soul-shaping work of touch and well-being we learn about our ability to self-mother as both earthly and spiritual beings. SPONTANEOUS SPEECH AND FORGIVABLE FLUBS I create these podcasts without a script. They are spontaneous in the moment and have a foundation of twenty years of paying attention to the senses, my senses and my client's senses. Spontaneity is wonderful as it allows for imagination. I get to surprise myself with new insights and angles (angels!) of observation as when I speak about the praying hands in this recording. I am paying attention to the senses while I am recording, not reading a previously thought through text. However, spontaneity has difficulties. I call these the flubs. Sometimes I use a wrong word, mix my tenses or pronouns or even not complete an idea. Forgive these. Listen for the personally meaningful, the "gem" that sparkles in your soul and makes a difference for you. Please make a comment or ask a question by clicking on the link below. Comments[0] |
