Where is my Support?

When I am connecting to Source

Everything is my support.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I think you are being self-centered

I have left my center.

Nothing can support me

when I've left my center.

Every thing and everyone

is my teacher.

Every encounter is perfectly

reciprocal.

When I lose connection with me

I lose connection with you,

I feel as if you have left me.

But I have left me.

When I am Being

You are able to meet me

I am able to meet you

We are One.

The ego is terrified

of abandonment, of shortage,

of our True Nature.

It contracts, it runs, it thinks,

it calculates, it worries, it accuses,

it blames it attacks, it is a black

hole

that sucks........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ego thinks, Source Acts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Support is felt

when we know ourselves

as Source

And when we know everyone and

everything

as Source.

There is nothing to resist

Nothing to deny

Nothing to guard against.

Everything is relating

Everyone is our teacher

We come together to receive each other

and be received by each other

We come together to

Know ourselves

As each other.

Every encounter

is an opportunity

To Love and Expand

To Give and Be Blessed.

There are NO Bad People

If we don't abandon ourselves,

Nothing can harm us.

When I leave my Self,

'Others' move in

to fill the vacuum.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can stand in my Strength

and still feel supported.

I can be soft and surrendered

and still feel supported.

But only when I Occupy Myself

can I find,

and combine

with you.

When we combine

it's reciprocally supportive

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's OK for me to Stay

until you want to separate.

I can separate

whenever I need to.

It's OK to be completely in my Power

and to recognize, and receive you

in yours.

When we combine our energies,

combine our forces

we flow, and we blend.

We are Love

Being Embraced

A Description of Contact Improvisation Dance Practice: Achieving inner stillness through attention to, and acute observation of our impulses; our bodily experience. Meeting at the point of touch and exploring, through mutual responsiveness, what movement wants to unfold from an authentic, neutral space Curiously exploring that meeting, that point, that present moment, while maintaining full, unconditional presence. Saying, “YES!” in response to the other, without diminishing our self; without compromising our own authenticity. Surrendering to process, letting go of judgment, of intention, of willfulness. Experiencing a spaciousness that allows full acceptance self and other. As we are. Mutually supporting what is happening. And when there are ‘disconnects’, stopping and waiting. Waiting for that full presence to come into each of us again; for that felt sense of, “Ah yes, you are here, I am here, we meet here.” And in agreement, continuing. Joined, yet separate and individual. Connecti...

HEALING THE WOUND OF NON-SUPPORT

We must receive support before we can ever give it Many of us were born and raised in homes where we did not receive the support we really needed in order to feel safe, seen, grounded, and valued. For whatever reasons, our parents and families and perhaps even our communities were unable to give us enough responsive attention for us to anchor a feeling of being empowered and supported into our Beings. Because we did not receive this support for our very Being, our essence, we came to distrust ourselves and those around us. We became unable to receive support, even when it was sincerely offered. We came to feel that we were a burden and that we didn’t deserve to have support or feel supported. We tried to make it through our lives by being totally self-sufficient. Since we couldn’t receive support, we reasoned, maybe we didn’t need it. We managed for quite some time in this way. But we found that we were unable to feel totally at ease with ourselves and ...

contact improv as therapy

Recently a long-time CI dancing friend wrote: for me c.i. is therapy. it invites all of me to show up and be, be and explore. it invites me to know myself and listen to others. i welcome that intention, i love the way it is my teacher, my therapist, my friend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I, too regard c.i. dance practice as therapeutic. Dance has been my pathway to get closer to myself and closer to others. Through dancing using elements of c.i. with large numbers of people over the past 12 years or so, the majority of whom have had little or no experience with C.I., I have learned how to bring my authentic self into my interactions with others. It is through learning to listen and respond to myself while listening and responding to another in this very physical ‘dance’ form, that I have begun to understand what a sweet and satisfying thing it is to know myself and to know myself in relationship. Exploring CI has helped me to discover my authentic self, and to bring that self ...
