Embarrassed that today's session is cut so short. Happy to be in the room. Happy to be documenting myself training. Happy to have a new song to learn and some preliminary systems for working. It's a sunny day.
Contemplative Practice (7 min):
Meditated in corner of room, half-lotus, eyes open. Deep breathing.
Warm-up (15 min):
Deep breathing, musical sighs and sirens. Arm circles. Yoga stretches (cat, cow, bow).
100 jumping jacks. Did body scan to find place to focus on for the day: found lungs.
Sang "Do you Realize?"along with mp3 player while swinging arms, doing wall-pushups, thinking about lungs transmitting air.
Training (40 minutes):
Sang "Do you Realize?" a capella, while moving.
Stood in tree pose, deep breathing, swaying. Experiencing awareness of all the unused space in the lungs. Comparing the expansiveness of the lungs to the static pulsing of the heart.
Moved like a sighing bird, in slow motion
Sang "Do you Realize?" in slow time.
Sang and chanted the phrase "Ladies and Gentleman We are Floating in Space" and the song of the same title.
Talked to the camera directly (for the first time) about breathing.
Ran laps in the room while talking, free associating about my desires for this training. "I'm trying to develop a somatic listening system that helps me become more aware of my desires"
Stretched on the floor. Touched toes to hands in rocking motion. Practiced attaching/detaching desire to action.
Note-taking (1 minute):
Ran out of time to take notes! Made very rushed scribbles about the day's actions and didn't write my Tiny Imaginary Play!
A few days later I force myself to watch the entire video documentation of Training Session #6, after which I write Tiny Imaginary Play #6
