\nWith Caryn I worked on recognizing the slide into depression and counteracting it by finding a resource, any resource, some place that feels incrementally better.\u00a0 We looked at the empty places in my schedule, talked about how that scares me, and that I need more structure in my life.\u00a0 I talked about the slide show \u2014 Caryn pointed out how I became more present and engaged.\u00a0 I realize how this happens a lot.\u00a0 Even as long ago as the Kornfield Retreat at Kripalu, when I got talking to my new roommate & she was interesting, and I came right out of depression.\u00a0 And yesterday I went to visit Mary & Belkin, I was a little bummed out but started to feel better almost right away.\u00a0 And when I was taking pottery classes, I was always fine during the class.\u00a0 So I have an action plan.<\/p>\n
1) sign up for pottery
\n2) Find someone at WREN to help me get the slide show computerized
\n3) Ask Pat & Cory if they know any one at White Mountain School \u2014 I could do Astronomy sessions for people who are interested.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nA reminder:\u00a0 in Somatic Experiencing a “resource” is anything, a thought or image or person, that makes you feel better in your body, warmer, more relaxed, more grounded, etc.<\/p>\n
The “Slide Show<\/a>” is my audio-visual presentation about the megaliths of Britain. I got very excited about it after my ritual of letting go in November 2010.\u00a0 But I’ve been having a hard time getting it together.\u00a0 (Note: if you click on this link you will get this entry followed by two about the slide show.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
