Mulling over the idea of intentional, ritualistic movement exercises to be more embodied. I once took an art class in SF where the teacher had us do these physical exercises to “wake us up”.

for example, you squeeze every muscle in your body as hard as you can for 30 seconds then release!

or, you jiggle around spastically, moves in wild directions with abandon, for a minute

stretch yourself as high, as far, as long as you can, all the way on tip toes, open your mouth and stretch your face, stretch your tongue and every muscle, for a minute

Leap into the air! leap from one end of the room to the other.
