Buoyancy ~ The Art of Joyful Embodiment ~ Online class
The human organism is designed for buoyancy, our true baseline and compass. Buoyancy is a state of being that encompasses lightness and joy as well as resilience. It is both antidote and medicine, moving us from the stagnant energies of repetition and routine into realms fresh with newness.
Buoyancy requires a sacrifice – a willingness to live lighter, to simplify, to grieve and accept, to embrace yourself fully with compassion and love. Nature reveals an intelligence based in equilibrium, making corrections to restore balance. As the digital age has reinforced compression of information to support greater velocity, our human organism has sacrificed spaciousness and sensate capacity. When moving at speed, we narrow focus and limit sensation, numbing feelings. Instead, we exist in a state of abstraction. Speed and compression come at a high cost – chronic contraction, increased density, exhaustion and having no space/time to metabolize our felt sense experience of life. This occurs at ALL levels of our being – body, mind, feelings and soul. Living turns to burden and endurance and eventually, depression and despair.
Buoyancy in the body opens a felt sense of spaciousness, boundless in scope, vast enough to contain all you are, all you have experienced, all your contradictions and uncertainties. In buoyancy, we discover a capacity to live with unknowing, to be in the moment to moment unfolding of life's continuum. In this awareness, we become the place where joy touches grief, where pain is held in compassion, where the infinite confluence of our direct human experience brings us into wholeness.
Accessing the wisdom of our bio-intelligence, our body becomes a portal to shifting habits of negative thinking, returning us to felt sensation and the voltage of our potent feelings. Intuition surfaces from our depths, guiding us with discernment and clarity. We recenter ourselves in raw direct experience, confident in our belonging, our creativity, and our movement through life. Perhaps most importantly, buoyancy ignites the flame of love we are, a mystery beyond all others, the true healer within.
Continuum is a somatic practice that meets every layer of our being. Weaving breath, sound/vibration, fluid movement, attention and felt sensation, we enter the direct experience and language of our body, gently opening space and releasing tensions long held in our tissues. Continuum is self-directed allowing each person to move at their own pace with curiosity. It is through our attention, moment by moment, that we reenter the field of sensation and feeling, discovering new movement. Here, we experience ourselves freshly, reclaiming a depth of aliveness and joyful embodiment.
