Sense of Self-Movement

It seems intelligent to give you the brief dictionary definition of the sense of self-movement. There are two words that relate to self-movement:

Proprioception from Latin proprius, meaning "one's own" and perception, is the sense of the relative position of neighbouring parts of the body.
Kinesthesia from Greek, kinesis, motion, aisthesis, feeling
1. The sense that detects bodily position, weight, or movement of the muscles, tendons, and joints.
2. The sensation of moving in space.

As I watch my grandson develop - today he is five months old - I witness his growing awareness of his own movements, the achievement of willful coordination and the awakening of the ability to move toward and grasp (touch) what he desires. Of course, everything he wants and gets, then is brought to his mouth because all hunger (the sense of well-being) is satisfied through his mouth at this age.

Slowly he is moving from awkward to graceful. His body is becoming his own. And he will be developing this sense for the rest of his life at least in his soul.

As my grandson learns to master the movement of his body, he is also learning how to master and coordinate his increasingly complex soul life of thinking, feeling and willing. That is why it is so necessary to play, to move your body in all kinds of ways that develop and challenge movement coordination. The more you move your body as a child, and as an adult, the more graceful and coordinated your thinking becomes.

 Movement in Your Soul

How conscious of your soul movements are you??? Do you always move the same way or do you explore new movements?

Is there grace in your soul? Is there weight in your soul? How well do you coordinate your desires? How do you move toward truth?

How aware are you of the relative positions of your perceptions, your opinions, your feelings, your intentions?

I want to encourage you to stretch. Compare the perception of stretching in your body with the perception of stretching your ability to think or focus or relax. What are you stretching toward?

I want to encourage you to leap. When was the last time you risked leaping? A child leaps and feels such a delighted sense of self. If you take a leap in your soul will you feel delight?

In our times we are perhaps moving too much from activity to activity, from feeling to feeling. This week as you work with the sense of self-movement, don’t forget to experience the grace of stillness.

Movement In My Life

I have always been a good dancer and a good swimmer and, of course, loved water ballet and wanted to be Esther Williams. So there is something about choreographed coordination that resonates with my ideal of self-movement. Yet I also enjoy spontaneous, surprising, yet mindful, movement. My body feels at home in the discipline of ballet and the freedom of jazz dancing.

Now, after years of practice, I am most delighted with the way my thinking moves from imagination to imagination sometimes stretching and sometimes leaping and almost, always coordinated. When I reflect on my thinking, I discover the choreography of it all. I realize just as I choreograph my body’s movements, there is a divine choreographer guiding the movements of my soul.

The Inner Year curriculum is choreographed movement for the soul, yet it empowers inner freedom and inner grace for each soul seeking self-expressive movement.

Move!!! and Other Metaphors

No matter what your age, move! Move your body and move your soul.

P.S. What other soul metaphors for self-movement can you imagine?

The Sense of Well-Being

Once we incarnate into our sense of touch, through which we experience the resistance of something else and the reality of our own boundary, and we find ourselves thrown back into our own center, we move to the perception of “the existence within” our skin. What exists within our skin is our life, our biological organization and the functions that keep us alive. This new sense is called our life sense or our sense of well-being. We don’t pay too much attention to this sense until something is not well within. With touch we perceive “is,” our being is because I experience my limits and boundaries. With well-being we perceive “is not,” I am alert to an absence in my “isness.”

When something is not right, lacking, or overwhelming, our sense of well-being alerts us with feelings of hunger, thirst, exhaustion or dis-ease. As infants and children we depend on others to fill our bellies, quench our thirst, put us to bed, and calm and comfort our dis-ease. Curiously this sense tells us that what resists our touch can also care and provide for us.

Before I go into the soul perceptions of well-being, I want to quickly point out that touch wakes us up to space and well-being wakes us up to time. When our sense of well-being grabs our attention we begin to endure. Duration is the body’s perception of time - how long can I bear this suffering, the absence of my well-being.

Now to the sense that let’s the soul know it is suffering...

Begin with questioning your ability to endure suffering. Your own suffering and the suffering of others? Are you struggling right now with the suffering of the planet, with the Gulf oil spill?

Is it easy for you to repress your suffering? Repressed suffering lives below consciousness and never finds relief. (I know for myself, I learned to endure and put on a happy face at an early age. Eventually, I lost all sense of what was unendurable, found myself seeking relationships that demanded I hunger, thirst, and exhaust myself, etc. It’s a whole story of a very unhealthy sense of well-being. I’ve been in soul recovery for years. I know now it is up to me to notice when my cup is empty and fill it with kindness myself. When it overflows, I can share my kindness with others. There are so many great lessons living in the awareness of well-being.

When your soul is hungry, what is it hungry for? How do you feed your soul? Who else feeds your soul? Think of comfort foods for the soul - a poem, a painting, a string quartet, a long walk, a good movie, telling your truth. Make a list. You might want to make a bunch of little cards with suggestions for soul snacks or soul feasts and keep them in a bowl. When your soul feels hunger rumblings, go to the bowl and pull a card. Enjoy the nourishment.

When your soul is thirsty, dry, parched - do you know this feeling? Where do you go? Where are the sweet waters your soul drinks from? Does the smile of a loved one or a stranger quench your loneliness?

Souls need rest. Do you overwhelm your soul with too much self-help, too much seriousness, too much demand to develop? How do you imagine taking a soul nap? What lullaby would sing your soul into a gentle sleep? If you just close your eyes.

And if your soul knows dis-ease, pain, illness where do you seek healing? When your soul gets inflamed what cools you down? Or if your soul gets chilled, what blankets your thoughts and feelings with warmth?

In your sense journal, make lists of how your soul experiences a lack of well being, when it feels it is losing its liveliness and life. Then make lists of all the wonderful things that restore your soul’s health and wealth. These lists will be an endless source of personal care and wisdom, recipes for delicious soul feasts, juices for a juicy sense of self, soft pillows on which to lay your soul down and all kinds of therapeutic relief and restoration.

If you need a summer conversation for soothing or stimulating, I might have what you are seeking. Read more...

Summer Questions

Do you have any summer questions? You know the ones about wishing life was different? They pop into your thoughts while you are walking along the beach or wishing you were.

What part of your life do you think about changing, making better, enjoying more?

Your relationship?
Your work?
Your finances?
Your body?
Your discipline?
Your parenting?
Your celebrating?
Your decision-making?


What feelings do you have that you want to understand, release, balance?
Your guilt?
Your grief?
Your doubt?
Your anxiety?
Your irritability?
Your confusion?
Your frustration?

What part of your spiritual life would you like to deepen, clarify, speak about?
Your meditative life?
Your faith?
Your practice?
Your tradition?

In the past, my work as a personal counselor has been limited to commitments to on-going conversations lasting months or even years. I still work this way.

But I realize that this long-term process is not always needed. Often you just have one question that you would like to explore through a creative conversation with someone skilled in listening and understanding. Maybe get a viewpoint that might move you to a new freedom around the topic.

I work with my clients over the phone or via skype. Skype is a way to have a conversation over the internet. We can do it with video and see each other. It free and lots of fun.

During July and August, I am offering Summer Conversations. You can schedule a Summer Conversation with me on Tuesday between Noon and 8PM or Saturday between 8AM and Noon. Conversations can be 20, 40, 60 or 80 minutes in length.
the cost is $40 for each 20 minutes.

Intimacy Teleseminar

Intimacy - Finding the Courage and the Compassion to Know and Being Known.

Life is a schooling for intimacy and most of us are flunking out and repeating the introductory courses over and over. Why?

Intimate relationships are a big risk. They ask us to be transparent and vulnerable. They ask us to tell the truth and hear the truth. They ask us to connect with others but from a place of not needing or depending. They ask us to be creative and not conform even to our own fantasies. They ask us to trust and to forgive.

But most of us surround ourselves with a shield of impenetrable defenses. Tell partial-truths and invite partial lies. We connect out of deep neediness seeking to fulfill personal fantasy and conforming to familial and cultural expectations. We are not confident enough in ourselves to truly trust another and unresolved ancient wounds make it impossible to truly forgive new ones.

Yes, it sounds harsh and makes us sad to compare the ideal with the shadowy reality. Focusing on intimacy for four weeks will not be a magic wand turning our capacities for intimacy into happily ever after but it will open a path and take us a step or two closer to something well-worth our struggles.

The Inner Year Intimacy Intensive gently evokes a new consciousness around relationships. Consciousness enlightens like an inner sun. In the light we can find our way. Intimacy is a difficult and challenging journey. It is much easier to stay on the path in the light of insight, confidence and compassion, than in the darkness of unconscious instincts, blind assumptions and selfish expectations.

Most of us find we have little understanding and consequently, little success, at establishing the kind of conscious intimacy that blesses us with real love.
The Inner Year Intimacy Intensive will give you the guidance to change your relationship to intimacy and deepen the intimacy of your relationships.


Intimacy begins with self knowledge. The Inner Year Intensive on Intimacy will offer a chance to question yourself about intimacy.

You will learn to distinguish the four levels of intimacy: physical, energetic, soul and spiritual.

You will begin to know your own particular
anxieties,
patterns and styles,
needs

You will recollect and clarify your history of intimacy. The course supports you in beginning a biographical review of your intimate relationships and their impact on your life. You will create a visual intimacy timeline.

You will learn the difference between attachment and intimacy and discover a rich independence.

You will find encouragement to seek truth through your intimate conversations.

You will learn how essential anger is to forgiveness. (Probably the most liberating and creative content of the course.)


To get the most from this INNER YEAR teleseminar you will need to be willing
to be a little uncomfortable,
to stretch a little beyond your usual limits
to not be afraid of the dark - what is hidden
or the light. - what is revealed
to form and commit to a spiritual practice of self-reflection

Self Reflective Spiritual Practice is spiritual investment of your time and your attention focusing on awakening and maturing your thinking about a particular aspect who you are. This almost always involves reflecting on your past - who you have been, and imagining your future - who you will become, while experiencing freedom in the present moment. Freedom in the present moment allows you to connect to the archetypes of being human and view your past and your future from multiple perspectives. The Inner Year courses help you to experience the archetypes. You develop a coherent picture of yourself that allows you to comprehend, manage and discover meaning in your existence.

Imagine relating to intimacy in freedom.

The Logistics

The Course is a TELESEMINAR. We meet over a conference call.

I am forming two groups for this work. There are only 10 spaces.

The SUNDAY AFTERNOON Group calls begin at 4PM EASTERN.
July 11, 18, 25 and August 1

The THURSDAY EVENING Group calls begin at 8PM EASTERN
July 15, 22, 29 and August 5

Calls are 90 minutes long. Yes that is a long time to be on the phone, but the time goes quickly, the material is rich and the listening profound.

You will be partnered with another participant. Each week you and your partner will schedule a 30-60 minute call when you will work together on the course material and share your struggles and your progress with your work.

You will also have a 20 minute private consultation with me during the last two weeks of the course.

You will receive a recording of each group session. This recording is confidential and is only for your listening. It is very helpful to relisten to the session. Knowing that you will receive the recording, allows you to relax during the actual session and not feel you must remember everything. Relaxation helps with learning.


The Cost is $120. Is your life of intimate relationship worth this investment? You bet! If you are really strapped financially and need a discount, call me at 646-797-9669. I am also willing to do a payment schedule.

The Natural You & The Unnatural You

Summer is the time of light. Spring is the growing of light but summer is the celebration of light. And in the celebrating we overlook that the light has begun to diminish.

St. John's Tide comes three days after the Summer Solstice. It is the day that the light begins it's diminishing. When did you reach the point in your life when the natural course of things turns and instead of life increasing, it begins to decrease?

Tonight you may want to journal on what is beginning to diminish in your soul that has always been so present. To do this you will need to reflect on yourself, on who you naturally are. It is as simple as making a list. What did you always think about, that you are starting to think about less? What identities have you clung to with a fierce grip that you are slowly releasing? This is a powerful Inner Summer process.

Now reverse the question. What is new in your inner life? What has knocked on the door of your consciousness as asked you to meet your destiny, asked you to make something of yourself out of yourself? This is the St. John's Tide question.

Solstice is about the Sun standing still. St John's Tide is a celebration of the birth of St John the Baptist who is known for leaping with joy in his mother's womb.

The Summer Solstice is moment of celebration of fullness, of completion of all that is. St John's Tide is the moment of celebration of all that will come, all that is just beginning.

Only the human soul makes meaning of this kind of polarity, this kind of paradox. Imagine we can sit still and leap for joy at the same time and not feel insane but feel blessed with profound sanity. As beings of Nature, our senses want us to be still and perceive all there is to delight us in the summery moment. As beings of spirit, our supersensible consciousness wants us to move, even dance, toward something more, to joyfully prepare (rather than contentedly delight) because we perceive the Divine Possibility.

I think the gods must feel amazement and success at the human soul's ability to do both at the same time.

How do you do both?

How do you sit still and perceive nature and all that is natural in you?

How do you move forward in recognition of your own incarnating spirit?

Over the next twelve weeks I will be sending out thoughts on the soul's Twelve Senses that allow your soul to perceive and recognize yourself, the world, and other souls. One sense each week. I hope these messages will enrich your Inner Summer.

But today, I will write about the natural and the unnatural. The "natural" is what we are born with - talents, tendencies, constitutions and all our inherited strengths and weaknesses. The "unnatural" is what we make of ourselves as we strive toward self-development, actually self-birth.

What we make of ourselves also awakens a paradox as what we consciously choose to make of ourselves usually feels more natural than the inborn natural. Could it be that what we (often painfully and with tears) give birth to in ourselves is our true nature?

There is something in each of us, in the fullness of the inborn self, that leaps for joy when it recognizes, meets, discovers the possibility of the Self-born self.

John the Baptist is called the precursor, the individual who came before. All your natural inborn qualities, quirks, inclinations and idiosyncrasies are the precursor that comes before the New You. Early this year I wrote a blog about names. Our names are given to us and most of us never consider what name we would choose for ourselves. Likewise, most of us just think we are only the result of who and what we are when we are born of our mother's womb.

But for some of us there is a visitation of some divine spark that enlivens all possibility. We sense that who we are is less important than who we become. We get a kiss that opens us up, energizes us, crystalizes our power of self-birth.

The other day I heard Aretha Franklin singing "Natural Woman."





If you don't see the video of Aretha singing the song, please go to the blog by clicking here.

Of course, like everyone else, I have always heard this as a song of a woman who finds her lover. Something in me said "Listen deeper, Lynn." Listening deeper requires an openness to new questions. Who is my Lover? Is my Lover the one who is outside of me and just sees the inborn Lynn? Or is my Lover, my self-born Self. Do I leap for joy at the kiss of the one who frees me from my natural self to become my true self? Is that one, the part of my soul that sings me into freedom?

Here are the lyrics and, of course, in the context of the Inner Year and St John's Tide, we might want to replace woman with human:


Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to peace my mind

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

When my soul was in the lost-and-found
You came along to claim it
I didn't know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it
Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for
Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman

Oh, baby, what you've done to me
You make me feel so good inside
And I just want to be close to you
You make me fell so alive
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like
A natural woman


Today be still for a bit and journal about your inborn natural soul and about the fulness of the soul's season of summer. Then, leaping for joy, journal about the unborn, soon-to-be-born, new you. Shine a bright, warm, inner summer light into your soul.

The Rest of the Inner Summer:

Do remember the soul never goes on vacation even during the lazy, hazy days of July and August. Besides the messages on the Twelve Senses, I will be offering two Teleseminar Intensives (4 - 90 minute teleseminars, structured work with a partner, and a private session with me) on Intimacy, the role of relationship in your life, and Balance, how you stay relaxed, upright and creative in your busy lifes. I will be sending out descriptions of these courses soon.


With Summer Smiles,

The Natural You at Summer

Summer is the time of light.  Spring is the growing of light but summer is the celebration of light.  And in the celebrating we overlook that the light has begun to diminish.

St. John’s Tide comes three days after the Summer Solstice.  It is the day that the light begins it’s diminishing. When did you reach the point in your life when the natural course of things turns and instead of life increasing, it begins to decrease?

Understanding and Being Understood

I am visiting England and having a beautiful time. Dear friends and beautiful gardens provide me with amazing conversations with human spirits and nature spirits.

Today is the festival of Pentecost or Whitsun which reminds us of the sacred event fifty days after the Easter when the Holy Spirit ignites the twin tongues of fire within the souls of each one present and suddenly everyone can be understood by everyone in “the language of their birth.”

This is generally interpreted as the speaking in tongues but if we penetrate the esoteric and evolved meaning we find a very profound and liberating possibility that has nothing to do with where one was born and what their mother tongue is.  Actually, it never had to do with the languages of locations.

In the possibility of Whitsun, it is where you are “coming from” in the moment that is understood.  If every moment you are born anew and this birth is understood by all those around you, you will receive the love that surpasses all understanding.  If you find in your heart the ability to experience the constant birthing anew of the individual in front of you then you will give the love that surpasses all understanding. Through this love you experience the “fulness of Spirit.”

Whitsun or Pentecost occurred almost 2000 years ago. How close are we to understanding and being understood by those who are dear to us, let alone those who are strangers or perceived enemies? Do we have any sense of a love that surpasses understanding? Do we experience the fulness of Spirit - the full incarnation of the inner divinity?  These are not rhetorical questions and when considered deeply they ask us if we really want to feel, know, be penetrated with, this understanding, this love, this fulness? Could our hearts bear it?

Supporting the opening our hearts and the maturing the noble capacities of our human souls is the intention behind the Inner Year emails and teleseminars.

Much of the Inner Year focuses on the awakening of our individuality. Pentecost is the festival that celebrates the connection of one individuality to another.  This festival nurtures and celebrates how the inner I moves out to meet the I of the other.  It is the once a year attention to community. It’s the party of the year.

Yet, to really know communion with others we must know the community that makes up our sense of self.  Yesterday I was having a significantly healing conversation with a kind and thoughtful friend.  He was confronting me about some of my inner challenges.  He was saying “You are…” I was struggling with feelings of being understood but misjudged.  I defended myself and counter attacked even tho’ I felt he was touching a truth.  In a moment of inspired Whitsun wisdom, I realized that the truth was about a part of me, but not all of me.  I asked him if he could restate his insight and begin with “I see a part of you, Lynn, that is ….” He did and I immediately felt understood and loved. My complexity of good and weak parts, bad and wonderful parts, creative and stuck parts was being acknowledged by my friend and by me. My defenses rolled away and I could love all of me including the not-so-thrilling part he was pointing to and the conversation became compassionate transformative.

So what are all the languages of my parts? What are the languages of your parts?

Last night as I was falling asleep, I began to look at all the languages I am speaking in my own being and not understanding. The languages of my moods, the languages of my fears, the languages of my longings, the languages of my needs for love, sex and romance, the languages of my senses, the languages of my gut and my nervous system, the ancient languages of my biography, the languages of my traumas and my healings, the languages of my aging and on and on. Each part of me has a language and only a few do I speak well, listen to or understand.

Perhaps this polyglot challenge causes my love of this festival.  I shine in the Whitsun promise that I will be given the grace of knowing my own languages and in knowing my own come to know the languages of all other human souls - the twin tongues of self and other. But I also wonder what are the archetypes of this understanding and how can I apply them practically.


Today I will be giving a workshop on Stimulating and Soothing, the Art of Creative Self-Management, at the Steiner School is York, England.  As I was preparing my outline, I reflected on the many twin tongues of fire living in the wisdom of our humanity.  Soothing and stimulating are twin tongues.  If we understand the mysteries of soothing and stimulating, we can speak the languages that will soothe and stimulate our own and each other’s souls.  In the workshop I will focus on the soothing and stimulating of our temperaments and our senses.  I feel the possibility of a “fulness of awareness” here.  Knowing the languages of the temperaments is the foundation of understanding ourselves and others.  Knowing the soothing and stimulating languages of the senses helps us find the right perceptions of all things.

I will be offering a teleseminar on the languages and conversations of the four temperaments in June.  I will send out the information after I return to the States next weekend.  Over the summer I will be sending out 12 weekly emails on the Twelve Senses, sharing the way these sensory tongues shape our consciousness. I will offer teleseminars on the mysteries of Intimacy and the mysteries of Balance beginning in July.  I hope you will join me as we learn these challenging languages spoken in our souls.

Whitsun is often celebrated with flowers.  Here in England, spring flowers are everywhere.  Let flowers speak to your soul today.

with Whitsun wonder and love,

Lynn
