A writing buddy is far better for a novel than a critique group. If you take a novel to a critique group, you usually get responses that are not relevant. Go to shutupwrite.com → Writing Groups → Stir It Up Shut Up & Write! Online (Since 2019) > Join

Surviving trauma doesn't feell like a win. It feels more like being a pirate, an outlaw, in a system that suppresses authentic freedom among people who cow tow to the prevailing winds of public sentiment. It is not comfortable. It is not safe. But, by God, it gives you self-respect!

"What's your Writers's brand?" What a strange question! Can you imagine Tolkien or CS Lewis having to deal with this crap? No. Not. Yet, each of them had a definitive flavor, a taste if you will that fed the soul, that still feeds the soul!

Don't waste the opportunity. Timing is everything! The Solstice is now! Grab a piece of paper. Write down everything you're ready to let go of: all the people, the situations, the crises, the negativity, the crap, the stuff, the non-negotiable I-am-so-done- with-this stuff. Work your pen! Burn it! ✨

Dr. van der Kolk argues that to manage trauma, one must engage the entire organism—body, mind & brain—moving beyond traditional talk therapy. Feldenkrais >Literally< gives you the skill to use awareness through movement to relax the hypertonic fight/flight response.

"Many of us in this modern, dominant culture of North America walk around with a deep 'elder hunger' but we don't recognize it as such until we meet someone willing to elder." Are you willing to elder? Do you own the literacy of your embodied experience?

Do you listen to your body? Are you more sore on 1 side of your back than the other? Lay on the floor & just roll from side to side gently, slowly. Can you sense which side is painful? STOP. That's feedback. Roll to the other side. Put your leg over the other. & roll to where it feels delicious!

Dis-Ease is caused by the buildup in body, mind & spirit of that which you would want to relinquish anyway. They cause stagnation. Therefore, release deliberately with deep Cleansing Breaths every day...Dishes pile up. Laundry accumulates. Why would you not treat tension with the same attention? 🌬️

when it started pretending that everything was due to genetics and nothing was due to environment. Your body is your primary environment. Your body is your primary environment. Ignore it (as they have conditioned people to do) at your peril! 😎 it's a feedback system. Your personal feedback system!

I am doing things that people with even one of the whiplash injuries I sustained at 20 would not be able to do normally if they simply rely on "the system." But people just chalk it up to genetics. I think "the science" set us up for this current era of medical insanity 20 years ago

The Feldenkrais method - It's amazing. It's so good that it sounds too good to be true: it reduces friction in your joints, it releases unconscious tension from years & years of unconscious habit, it allows for greater balance at any age. And I am living proof of that. at 64

Stress creates unconscious tension. Tension results in compression on delicate nerves. Compression means PAIN. To STOP the cycle, you have to be willing to learn to relax. DEEP relaxation, not just watching videos.

When your motives are clean and not attached to some force of coercive manipulation, or some sense of denial, or some sense of should, life is just easier, it's just more fun.

So most of the issues that plague you can be tracked long before they become a major issue. But we are taught to ignore the feedback until it becomes a $4,000 medical bill. Stop that.

Excruciating pain in the hand shouldn't mean you have to get carpal tunnel surgery. It usually starts in the shoulder or in the neck, but most people don't know this.

RELAXATION. Most people are too busy, having been conditioned to put work before pleasure, and production before quality of life, to even consider relaxing as something as vital as good sleep. Hello. What are you doing to relax?

TONUS. In most people, the tonus in their muscles far exceed what's necessary. Tonus is the contraction of the anti-gravitational muscles at rest; these are the muscles that counteract gravity. This means you are using far more energy than necessary, but you can reset tonus if you know how.

How to manage pain: TENSION. Most people never take the time to scan their body, or even just the face, to notice if they are holding tension that could consciously be released.

The first principle that you need to understand is that your body is a self organizing mechanism. It wants to heal. That's its job to protect you and keep you functioning. Doctors know this. Why do they deflect your attention from this foundational understanding?

Talk is cheap. Only a somatic approach for releasing trauma, can free you from chronic pain, especially the grief that has come out of relentless changes to the world we live in. Try it. Search for me on YT.
