These phases from the CCI website inspired me to approach the emotions I felt yesterday in a different way.<\/p>\n

I was in a meeting and, all of a sudden, a partner got in and asked me, speaking softly in my ear, to replace her in a task. I said no, but she insisted and put in my lap a paper with instructions on what to do, and left quickly. I was speechless and the meeting went on. A long time passed until the end of the meeting when I could do something about it.<\/p>\n

But after that push, that left me groundless, I spend all over the meeting with a strong mixture of feelings. Once in a while, those feelings gave rise to many thoughts about that situation; complaints, indignation, powerlessness and the search of a way out. The feelings were concentrated in the upper part of my chest; pain, fragility, vulnerability, containment, intensity, aliveness.<\/p>\n

The more I focused on the feelings, the more the complaints faded away. Despite the wish to label the feelings as unpleasant and to try to justify them, I could remain focusing on them. The focus on the feelings made me more aware of what people were talking about and I could recover my place and participation on the meeting.<\/p>\n

In the end I felt strong enough to deal with the situation and the feelings shifted to an open feeling of satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Can we conduct into awareness the trend toward transformation that flickers at the edge of our truths? DTS 145<\/p>\n

Time is available to be danced<\/strong> directly<\/strong>, without imposed order or founding narratives. In this directness, knowledge is available also, without obstacles or preconditions, without special effort or acquisition. DTS 154<\/p>\n

My feelings could be expressed in movement and aliveness. They could be danced this way. Watch the video.<\/p>\n
