Somatic Perception & Empathy Responses

This writer has dominant senses of perception in the high range of somatic integration and empathic responses, therefore self-connection activities are high on the list to remain balanced and aligned with inner qualities for experiencing life through the lens of it as an opportunity and quest, and not a burden.

Somatic touch enhancing the Origins of the Devine Feminine

Facials from the pantry are activities at home therefore they are personal and private moments to become mindful of one’s own felt touch and sensation. Going to a salon or retreat is an outwardly focused action and lends itself to a different experience and need. For someone who experiences and expresses the world somatically going to a salon means taking in all the environmental stimuli and qualities of the providers and experiencing their levels of consciousness. While it may meet other’s active needs for being cared for by others and for community connections, for this writer it is a distraction to her current needs of peace and harmony. It also meets a personal intention that became a concrete goal in 2022. This goal was to tap into divine feminine qualities and express them from an integrated experience versus a false self-image of societal interpretations. Sensuality can be expressed authentically through exploring personal self-connecting activities that create this quality. The unique benefit of this personal exploration is that as a connection is made to the felt sensuality this expression expands into one’s relationships in a more empathetic way. It also increases the unspoken communication between primary partnerships that support a peaceful and harmonious approach to intimacy and connection replacing the mundane to-do list and ticking off the boxes and expressing achievement before vulnerable intimacy. Vulnerable intimacy is from the inside in one’s origins of health and well-being and not from a partner’s social status and finances. They are two separate life areas. The focus on the to-do list and achievement are conversations and cultural conditioning agreements better had before getting in the environmental felt sense stimuli for potential between the sheets. At least from a divine feminine perspective. The integral divine feminine qualities come from inside origins, not from a masculine. A masculine will enhance the feminine qualities through their contributions, they are not the source of it. A masculine will be an environmental stimulus to the integrity of a divine feminine’s qualities and it’s expressed authenticity.

Core Origins of Health & Wellness

The higher knowledge of a Feldenkrais Practitioner is that one’s health and wellness aligns with an inner self-image and the lack of mental, emotional and physical health is aligned with a focus on outside influences and definitions of self-image concepts.

Essential Connections with Actions Taken

A facial recipe from the pantry can increase the quality of connection. An example is in cooking from scratch. This experience is integrative and will shift the inner experience differently than if preheating a frozen meal. One is deepening the human and ethos connection through the activity, the other is meeting a need that lacks mindful functional integration of mind, body and emotions. It’s missing the process of slowing down through bringing a recipe together that stimulates a somatic integrative experience with active mindfulness of the ingredients, touch and movement of the hands, to mouth, chewing and swallowing. Precooked or takeout is a strategy for ease. It is this writer’s opinion it’s perceived ease. It meets a need to satisfy hunger while not being distracted from another activity. Running to the store for pre-made, or ordering in, is a time waster which takes effort and is more costly, mentally, emotionally, physically and financially. It also lacks ethos. Going out for facials is also a strategy to meet a need where there is no personal investment other than time, money and effort. However, it does meet a need. Not everyone is looking for a deepened self-connection. People need distraction to take their minds off of their environmental conditioning in the moment  This writer has dominant senses of perception in the high range of somatic integration and empathic responses, therefore self-connection activities are high on the list to remain balanced and aligned with inner qualities for experiencing life through the lens of it as an opportunity and quest, and not a burden.
