Mindful form of inquiry
An invitation
Attune to sensations of the skin.
Move beyond the chaos and distraction.
Stop being at war with yourself.
Become quiet and still.
Awaken your senses
What do you smell, taste, touch, hear, see?
Notice sounds and sensations inside and around you.
Do they enliven you? Or do you retract in repulsion or fear.
Intuitively move in response,
Embody your sensing
Make marks and reconnect your mind with your body.
These are steps toward understanding.
Notice when shutdown, freeze or disappear occur
Are you able to make sense of this?
Hold your experiencing in a different way.
Lean into dissonance and resistance.
You could learn something wonderful.
Open up become curious.
Let go of expectations
Make space for uncovering
Navigate the murky terrain
Connect through multimodality.
Construct and deconstruct.
Enact
Dialogue
Amplify
Reduce
Discover your relational patterns
Soften hard edges
Welcome your vulnerable self
Extend acceptance
Validate your experience
Witness the way you prefer to be
Alongside another
Elicit understanding toward
A different perspective
Toward the values you strive to live
So that you can find your way to calm
And do it all again in service of another
As witness and companion
This is how I have come to be here and is what drives me to remain here for you and others
