Noticing that “grounding” is too often weaponized in mental health to attempt to banish distressing thoughts and feelings, to turn away from places of pain, to “calm down.” If we stop there, that leaves those places of pain stuck where they are and neglected. I think of grounding techniques as a way to anchor to sources of comfort and support before turning towards those uncomfortable places in ourselves, where healing waits. #somatic

Gene Gendlin on the Focusing process: “It may seem very, very odd indeed that something like a body quality — something that feels confusing — something that we used to think of as nothing, should open up into a gigantic space: a place where there is more you, more possibilities, and a kind of central place from which you can move in all kinds of directions. But if you can give your body a few minutes, if you can stand that murkiness for a few minutes, that’s where the road opens.” #somatic

Did some #somatic #meditation and now I feel better, lighter mood and more relaxed, but so heavy with tiredness and stiff shoulders (they were worse before). Hoping it ultimately helps.

Had a funny #dream where a young guy’s cat and then he also wanted to sleep on my lap. What am I, dream mother? Much nicer than some other dreams recently.

2. As in many #somatic practices, minding the entire body is essential to determining fluency. Sometimes I notice myself really pressing the heel of my pedalling foot into the ground, like I’m pressing wine grapes. Often it’s just suffering though the poor coordinating of trying to accommodate three different rhythms in my body at the same time. My conclusion here: if it feels bad, slow the fuck down until it stops feeling bad. Swallow your pride if you want to #GetGood

@gulovsen As I said before already, the #AppleVisionPro or any #WearableComputer of that kind can't become a #MassMarket success for all the reasons starting from the #price over being an #Apple product aka. hamfisted into uselessness and also lacking not just reasons and #applications to use it outside of the spechal nieche-cases that need #AugmentedReality and #EyeTracking.

  • There, it's clumsy development tools and limitations are an acceptable exchange for being dozens of times cheaper, lighter and less cumbersome to setup at the user level than competing options. Just like the #ProDisplayXDR's price tag was only insulting to the people that never were the target audience to begin with (tho not having a real, stable and hard-fixed #VESA-Mount is an unforgiving sin given that they could've easily made that happen instead if a shitty & overpriced adaptor!)...

Personally, I'd consider building myself a #Optigon + #Somatic combo instead because that shit I can at least use with my existing tools and without misplaced trust into a #GAFAM that bows before the "P.R." China of all regimes...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@fuchsiii@oxytodon.com I mean, AR for complex stuff makes sense... Like having an engineer fixing a turbofan on an airliner have the maintenance instructions in their FOV and being able to contextually see relevant data (i.e. Hydraulic Pressure a line is supposed to have or the torque at which the bolt has to be affixed they screw in... Similarly, it does make sense for surgeons to have relevant info at hand and like a dynamically overlaid HUD that shows the planned procedure and can overlap additional info (i.e. X-Ray and MRI images)... And for those areas, Microsoft sold their HoloLens quite well as the cost of a fuckup is peanuts compared to a fully decked out portable workstation and hygenically encapsulated setup like that. I just think the #VisionPro will never be a mass-market item, even if that makes me sound like #SteveBallmer reacting to the #iPhone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eywi0h_Y5_U

An incredible journey in ecology and resistance, my friend from PETAL Project here in Denton created a multimedia experience that speaks poignantly to the conflicts we're experiencing.

#today I discovered a #somatic method to release #anger #energy and have felt so much better, though engaging such stiff shoulder muscles hurt before I could feel the shaky goal, still the emotional and physical release was huge. I watched the Utah boys’ Gee Officer Krupke video again and felt chills as I had the first time I watched it months ago, but did not feel last night.

I’m also only one episode away from the end of #DerryGirls

#today I’m tired as almost always and a bit fed up about it, but the #somatic stuff is working, more feelings and thoughts surfacing and I’m dealing with them, and slowly watching the video course I bought. It’s not much new to me tbh, the info anyway, but some is. Not worth the cost really, but it has helped, I just don’t know when or if I might have consistent good energy and not feel shaky every other day. Which is better than every day for months as it was very recently, there is that.
