Steps / Ricardo


I will follow this infinite path / Ricardo

      Words cannot describe my perceptive process. The ego's impulses suppress our relationship with the world. Slave's within ourselves the body develops from certain tension's.
The encounter with the body has been in my case a constant struggle and at the same time an immense pleasure.Navigating through the dark ocean that is our consciousness and descending from a profound being. There is a state of struggle that appears to be accentuated during sleep.
A bitter sweet knowledge who's consequences I cannot calculate at this moment. In the last six months I have felt fortunate to have learned a method that has given me the tools to enter the darkness of body. I convinced I will follow this infinite path, to where ever it may lead.

Overcoming hardship

Recardo seemed to be a monk practicing asceticism for these six months. His proto dream was that he was shivering on the high roof. Someone forced him to jump, he hesitated for long time and at last he jumped down desperately.
The dream was so similar with my proto dream. I was awared of that our naked lives are just shivering beyond the difference of nation, culture, age, sex, and so on. His half years process was like as this dream.  
He had met so many hard edges; ego, group, healthy body, dynamics of dance, and so on. All of them are necessary process to overcome daily body as a human and get weakened body. Whenever he met a edge, he left from practice hall, and he meditated by alone. I continued to watch him without talking, but deep resonance. Because it is more important to overcome edges by oneself than to solve them by others advice, though the process must be hard for him. He learned contact improvisation, contemporary dance, and circus, until the last month his movements were still so large and rough. He noticed it, and continued meditation. At the last performance he surprised me by transforming suddenly to weakened body movements. I know the hardship to reduce dance which we learned. It took long time also for me it needed over ten years.   I was so moved to watch his whole overcoming process, after reducing all large possesions; ego, healthy body, thought, judgment, preconceived ideas, there appeared his life itself which is shivering between life and death. I hugged him strongly without word.

Ricardo, you got whole process to travel in the darkness of body. Continue it for ever. And someday come back to Himalaya, to be a facilitator to support others process. Next step is to be midwife for others. Though it is much more harder process to throw out egos than to be subbody by yourself, I believe that you can do it.

A Happy New Year!

I introduce you the most basic entrance into subbody world.
Especially for new persons who are going to enter the school, please try everyday, and prepare to calm down your daily body and mind until you come Himalaya.

Swaying meditation

1. Drop breathing (Losing strength breathing)

Find a quiet comfortable place.
Sit down with leg relaxed position.
Breathe in through nose or mouth, try both way.
When you inhale, imagine that some one pull up your head and spine by a string to the sky. Your spine will be stretched to the sky comfortablly.
Breathe out through nose or mouth.
When you exhale, imagine that your head and spine are keep hanging from the sky, and the other all cells are drop down into the center of the earth.
Listen in the changing of the body feeling in each part of body.
You will feel deep relaxation.
Repeat this losing breathing meditation several times until your body and mind calm down and feel deep relaxation.

2. Clock swaying

Imagine that you are sitting on the ship.
You ship start swaying to the front and back direction, then your body is moved by the sway.
Try to be moved by the various part of body; pelvis, stomach. chest, and head.
Imagine that you are sitting at the center of big horizontal clock.
Now you are swaying 12-6 o'clock direction.
When you notice the shift, the direction of swaying has changed to 1-7 o'clock direction.
Rereat two or three times at the same drection, and shift next direction with following the number of the clock, 2-8, 3-9, 4-10, 5-11, 6-12, 1-7, 2-8, 3-9, 4-10, 5-11, and 6-12 o'clock.
Try to change the initial part of body which is moved, pelvis, stomach, chest, and head, until the comfortable stream of body feelings fulfill your whole body.

3. Random swaying

When you feel tired to count clock number, shift to random sway.
Not only horizontal sway, but also vertical sway, and enjoy the passive feeling to be swaying.
If you feel pain or stiffness at some part of your body, send air and stretch the part.
Continue it until the comfortable feelings disappear, and the comfortable body feelings start streaming in your body.

4. Subtle swaying

When you feel the comfort in the whole body, suddenly slow down and size down into the minimum speed and size.
You will catch much more subtle body feeling at the each cell of your body, and they are streaming with changing among various taste.
Taste it deeply and follow it flexibly.
You may surprise what various body feeling are hidden in the darkness of body!
Just enjoy the diversity and richness of the hidden body feelings.

5. Segmenting and amplifying

If you feel that some part of your body has a tendency to move, just follow the body and move freely with tasting the subtle various feeling and movement; swaying, shaking, waving, shocking, being moved, being touched, becoming stiff or flexible.
Sometime you segment the feelings, and sometime you amplify to the maximum movement. Try both flexiblly.
Enjoy the spontaneous movement and ride on it by the whole body and mind without thinking and judging.

When you become enjoy it,
Congratulation! It's your subbody.
Continue the swaying meditation everyday as long as possible.
Until you fall in love subbody.

Introduction
Six steps for shifting into subbody mode


Subbody is subconscious body. In the subconscious realm, sub-consciousness and body is melting together into oneness. This world is completely different world from daily world. We need to learn how to shift from daily life to subbody life. Please learn the six steps for shifting subbody mode, and change your way of everyday life.

1. Be alone

We need to release from daily mode for becoming subbody. Daily body is bound by many binds; human relationship, social role, persona, judgment, and so on. When we are with people, we cannot release from these binds. To be alone and leave from your daily body, this is the most fundamental step for becoming subbody. Through the silence also you can listen in the deep life resonance with the others and the world.

2. Stop talking

When we talk with others, we are bound by language consciousness. Language consciousness is bound by dualism logic; good/bad, right/wrong, self/others, inside/outside, mind/body, individual/kind, and so on. Subbody doesn't have these border. It lives in non-dual and multi-dimensional world. The second step is to stop talking, then gradually we are released from daily body and mind.

3. Listen in the subtle signal

The consciousness controls us as a director of our habit, action, thinking and everything in our daily life. For becoming subbody mode, we need to shift the position of consciousness from director to listener in the darkness of body( subconscious world).
To retreat the position of consciousness is the most hard step for the daily body and mind. After retreat of consciousness, you can get the subbody mode, and listen to the subtle signal from the darkness of body.

4. Taste all qualia

When we start listening into subtle signal of body, we can meet so many diverse body feeling, image, vision, and so on. I call them "qualia".
Qualia are everything what the life feels.  They are always changing and floating. Taste them deeply. Enjoy their diverse richness.

5. Become everything

When you feel interesting qualia, ride on them with whale body and mind. Become something. They may not human shape and out of humanistic imagination. Don't worry. here is no judgment of dualistic; right/wrong. Release your body as subbody which is streaming and changing shape flexiblly.

6. Resonate with everything

Our lives are always resonating with everything in the world, beyond time and space. Open your resonativity fully. Subbody is also shifting cobody. Cobody is resonating subbody. There are no border between your subbody and other's subbody. Subbody is cobody. Cobody is subbody. Congraturation! You reach the non-dual world of life. Now you can open your creativity, originality, and resonativity freely beyond all borders.

Please visit "Practice Guide" as the next step. You can learn how to condition your body and mind in various ways by yourself.

Prepare your body and mind until starting the subbody school life.

Books Link Recomended Books
for studying subbody method
Arnold Mindell
Dreambody: The Body's Role In Revealing the self

The first work by Mindell. We can learn how the subbody appears through dreams and somatic symptons.
In daily life it appears through only these channels, but we dance it through opening all channels; body, movement, visual, audio, emotion, human relationship, world image and self image, and thinking channel.
Dreambody and subbody are brothers, they come out from the same darkness of body which is non-dual and multi dimensional realm.

Working with the Dreaming body

Mindell started his process work and process organized psychology (POP) at the beginning as dreambody work. He investigated in the relationship between dreams and somatic symptoms. through this he found how iis it possible to catch what body tells us through dreams and body symptons. Through the technique to change channels we can approach the message from deep body and life.

River's way: The process science of the dreambody

We can learn the main concept of POP. What is proces? What is channel? What is the relationship among modern western psychology, alchemy, and traditional oriental teaching; Tao, Yoga, Buddhism. he got the main concept as "process" of POP from Tao. Tao is the universal river. He decided to stop judgement and to follow the process. River's way means accept everything as theTao.
