3 hours in the village hall. Moving drawing writing. Exploring the ‘Yield & Push’. This is one way of describing the degree to which we respond to gravity and receive support, and an early way we meet the ground. It involves how we engage with pushing away and feeling the support from the floor. The very early stages of being in relationship. Separating, feeling our own will and sense of self. The potential to slowly, slowly come into being. Exploring these small movements, whilst tracking thoughts, emotions and sensations. The challenge and practice of being present to all three. I’m reminded to watch even more closely babies at the play group. Seeing this same non-verbal process going on in those first months. How easy is it for them to be settled, on the floor. Finding the strength and will to lift their heavy heads, and push away. Sensing themselves.
