Begin Again

The 12 Stages

Somato Resonance Integration

Hands find a place. Breath meets it. Twelve rooms the body already knows — a hurt, a split, a light, a we. You don't have to believe. You only have to feel the rhythm that is already walking.

A first walk

  1. 1

    Lie down or sit. Let the hands wander until they rest on the loudest place.

  2. 2

    Breathe into the hands. A sentence as small as: I feel this.

  3. 3

    When a wave comes, let it move. When quiet comes, stay inside it.

  4. 4

    Thank the body. Stand slowly. One stage is a whole walk.

The 12 Stages

Twelve rooms. You can stay in one. You can walk them in order. The body knows which door is open.

Stage 1 of 12

Suffering

Hands rest on the place that hurts. Breathe into it. I feel this. Nothing has to work yet.
