the ground of our belonging: relational root system, semi-permeable membrane, and radiant core essence
A guided somatic practice from Ecosystem Spoons: Primordial Nourishment for Sensitive Bodies
A lightly guided journey with many spaces of resonant silence. This guided practice explores the sense of the relational root system that supports all reality, inviting each of our animal bodies to rest back into being “understood” by that wider web of holding. We also explore the relationship between the semi-permeable membrane of our energetic edges, and the radiant core essence of our energetic center, unfurling into relationship with that wider web of support.
Gratitude to the Ecosystem Spoons participants whose sharings and presence co-created the field of this exploration. Gratitude to my many teachers and guides both human and more-than-human, especially the Mississippi River, Larissa Kaul for the frameworks around “just right amount” and the “personal membrane bubble,” grandmother cottonwood, Bree Greenberg Benjamin for direct energetic transmissions of the potency in the silence, and Sarah Van Hoy for the structural resonance in her poetics of Trauma Energetics.
Thank you for this guided somatic practice. I settled in and stretched and gently moved as I listened .. it worked .. I feel more grounded, energised and held.
