Creative expression brings us back to our Central Nervous System, including brain, brainstem and spinal cord. We explore the Peripheral nervous system in terms of:
- what we bring in
- discernment and assimilation
- distribution and exchange
- release of waste
- moving forward
The vital energy left after this process of refinement is what fuels our perception of and participation with the world within and all around. Getting current with our body mind with curiosity and compassion can empower us to let go of outdated reactions and defenses, and support us in creating a default state of flexible responsiveness. With practice we can regain agency to choicefully engage and disengage without fear. With some sweet and curious self-study, we can remember how to turn off chronic muscle tension and reduce the sense of alarm throughout the autonomic nervous system. To create an experience of peaceful presence.
