there are parts of my process or my practice or w/e you wanna call it that are actually pretty important but idk how to talk about them. one is a move that is like “allowing the body to do what it wants” and that’s where all the shaking and hyperventilating come from

i learned how to do this fairly suddenly, iirc around 2018 and inspired by impro but i might be misremembering, and actually trotted it out as a party trick a few times b/c the results were so funny to me. shaking, almost-crying, insane laughing. i have no idea how to teach it

i used to call it “releasing” but i think “allowing” is more accurate. it’s something like taking my feet off the brakes of an inhibition process i was running all the time and am hopefully running a bit less now

also i recognize now that there are safety considerations around this sort of practice. in some people it could surface emotional and/or trauma material that isn’t ready to be looked at yet. so uh you’ve been warned. needs to be paired with some kind of grounding?

nevertheless it has actually been important for me, in the background as a muscle i have access to and don’t need to think about much anymore. there’s a lot of subtle things like this i think, tricky to talk about or teach, that some people don’t need and others desperately do

this is perhaps only the kind of thing you need if you were punished as a child by being forced to hold your body still in an uncomfortable position for long periods of time, or similar 🙃🙃🙃

I think of this as, like, finally at long last unblocking the "H" in my adhd
