What has been particularly challenging for you in this technique?

Autonomy.

To mmerge with an immage, to mmelt through vocal vibrations of the teacher

this     is liquid nature to my organism                     seduced by Joan's language of suggestion

Soma so responsive, receptive to the resonance of particular voice(s)

perhaps potentially hazardous as it is wonderful

If...when... the benevolence of that voice breaks, off script and out of the studio, still resonating in the depths of tissues, in the spaces of the student                      teacher human-merely-being revealed

the shocking autonomy of cellular division.

here it is!   a sudden heartbreak of autonomy!   a vital key!

to opening the back, to shaft space opening beyond class, in daily life, through crisis

inhabiting this energy expanding in directions unseen and underground

I have come to think of this as an alignment of trust

where there is a space                                  vast enough                                for vulnerability

channel of power connecting within earth and air around

Conflict.

cannot erase connection,         these severed threads persist invisibly

the freedom of separation and difference                   is an unseen webbing of live wires

beyond the garden walls of etiquette, this challenge brings my attention to the treacherous lands beyond                          entangled landscapes of ethics . delicate wilds of power dynamics

In walking this question beyond the threshold __________

                                                                    remembering that teacher is practicing, as is student.
