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

seems somewhat related to non-doing and also something like meditationstuff's P7?

yeah def feels related to non-doing, i don’t remember what p7 is 😅 i pretty much only do bastardized versions of p1 and p2 sporadically

it's the one like "temporarily surrender, allow to be any which way, release, let go"
i remember it bc it reminded me that one part of the headspace guided meditation i tried a couple times that i felt most strongly (smth like "let the mind do whatever it wants") but bodymind
