Learning naturally occurs in an action-reflection cycle. These songs support starting from where you are, going inside for wisdom, and moving through whatever it is you need to move through.
I was quite picky about these songs. They had to start in one place, allow for meditation, and then shift somehow to a new perspective. No elevator music here. These songs support journeys inward, then back up and out again.
The process I describe here is rooted in discernment and the body wisdom of InterPlay.
Make sacred space. Shut the door. Ask someone to guard your space in the meadow. Post a sign. Turn off the phones. This is about going inside and finding the stimulation that is there.
Start from where you are. Wherever that is. Feeling tired? Lean against something or go right to the floor and get some support you can feel with your whole body. Feeling excited? Bounce around for a while. Start from where you are. Whatever that is.
Stay with it. The best way to go within is to really stay with yourself. When we truly let our bodies be in charge, there is a discovery process that unfolds. Be patient. Listen. Really have whatever it is you are having. Wait for the satisfaction. Or the break through. Stay with your process across the divide between songs. Let the new song stir something new in your persistence and noticing.
Witness yourself. Notice what you want a lot of. Have a journal or big pad of paper handy. Move color around on the paper as part of your own movement. You may even want to invite a friend to witness you and be your scribe as you notice your experience out loud.
Support yourself with touch. A hug. A gentle hand on a sore knee. A strong hand on an aching heart. Your hands will know where to go to connect the parts of yourself that need to have a conversation.
We are made of water and electricity. Through basic training in Healing Touch and experiences in helping others to work with personal energy, I have come to think of our hands as simple, yet sophisticated, electrodes. It often feels like I just need to connect the dots and let the electricity do whatever is needed to release or connect what is broken.
Notice the Voices. Two songs in this group have voices and words. To me, these are the voices of our dreams, our ventures, our risks, our muses. Reassuring us that “she will carry you” and that “I just want your fragile love.”
Great decisions come with being able to notice our own vibration and resonance. Transitions and Centering songs help us find clarity, by clearing anything we’ve been resisting. Then we can see the match. Then we can find what is aligned with our BodySpirit.
