Learning about cells and doing
the self-study task, moving with the awareness of the cells brought up a challenge
or question:
How can I experience a new experience and understand it as a new experience?
Do I have to?
This came after having previously
in class done the same task, I found myself just thinking and noticing what I felt
the first time, therefore having the same experience. Then this also brings up
a question about my question:
Isn’t it always a new experience?
These questions are like puzzles I
would like to try and gather the piece and fix them together.
The Navel Radiation Pattern was
very clear for me, and my interpretation before moving and after moving with
this awareness was different in terms of shape.
This could have been because we
were curling and uncurling during moving.
The Navel Radiation Pattern has
been an aspect of the Friday classes I have taken into other classes, especially
in Tuesdays release class. It has worked as a kind of grounding and lengthening
tool in my moving. Also in Mondays SRT classes with Katye the lengthening though
the centre idea has been valuable in my improvisation, allowing me to use full range
without strain. Yoga is another class where the connection with The Navel Radiation
pattern is used.
Overall this month there has been
a journey with my academic learning and understanding, with my movement
practice. The information has informed my moving allowing more awareness of my
bodily functions.
