Variations of Swaying medimotion

 

You can vary "Swaying meditation" in various ways like the following.

1. Rotate pelvis
Rotate body from pelvis slowly with deep breathing, and find the most comfortable sway by the most relaxed rhythm and size.

Listen to the Qualia (=bodily feelings) in each part of the body. Taste the subtle difference between each part of the body.

 

2. Imaginary tale sway 
Imagine that you have a long tale, and someone sways it in the underground in a different direction, and then your body is swayed by the influence.
Enjoy the feeling that you are moved by someone with comfortable rhythm.
Continue swaying until your whole body becomes full of comfortable sweet feeling flow.

 

3. A shift from thinking mode to listening mode
Stop your thinking, and concentrate to listen to the subtle feeling of the body.
Each part has subtle different feelings. And it is changing always Taste the body feeling flow precisely and enjoys it.

4. Ask your Life
Try to communicate with your Life.

'What do you want to do?'
Listen to the answer from your Life.

5. Receive the subtle signal from your Life
at first, you cannot catch the answer. It is OK. Just continue asking to your life every time. After some time, life will give back answer to you. The answer is not by word but through somebody feelings. Catch the subtle signal in the darkness of your body. sometimes it will be a kind of comfortable feeling, another time it will be an uncomfortable feeling. The difference is very subtle, but you can catch it. Taste the rich difference each time. It is the answer from your Life.
Continue this until you are able to taste the subtle difference of the sub-signal from your life each day, you must love subbody than your daily body.
Because of it more creative, and original than daily body which is bound by so many binds and judgment in human society.

 

Upstream Life medimotion

Now we regard that we have a life as an individual human.
But it is bound by the daily common illusion, and then it is so hard to feel Life.
We need to remember that we are just simple primitive creature.

1. Someone rotates your pelvis with the most comfortable rhythm and size. 
Find the most comfortable sway, and listen to it.
Through the swaying medimotion and enter into a subconscious mode with calming down our daily mind/body.
2. Imagine that you are the first origin Life which was born on this planet for the first time four billion years ago.
3. Notice of What that our Life continues from the first moment to present without any cutting of sequence of Life.
So our Life is four billion years old. Not only us but all creatures have the same history of four billion years. We share the same time as Life exactly.
4. Image the Qualia of Life of this origin creature. They could not move at all. They just try to continue living.
Taste the most fundamental tendency of Life. Still, our Life has the same tendency that continues to live.
5. Also, taste the proto Qualia of Life. They could not move in the first period for a long time...After for a while, some creature invented how to move by cilia, flagellum, or a movement like an ameba.
But the ability was so weak, they could move very little. Almost always they are moved by an outside power, gravity, 
wave, and wind and so on. These Qualia of hard to move and Qualia to be moved are so deep for Life because our lives continue single-cell age for three billion years.
6. Another proto Qualia of Life is to event new way to live. In the beginning, Life could not breathe with Oxygen gas. They got Oxygen through iron oxide or sulfur dioxide. One day protean bacteria invented breathing, and then they could get Oxygen from air directly. Someday proteobacteria were eaten by other big bacteria. But proteo bacteria keep living in other bacteria because they were well to breathe. They started living together. Proteo bacteria changed to mitochondria. This is one of the big sharing inventions in our Life history.
7. Another big invention was the photosynthesis by cyanobacteria. They started to get energy from sunshine and product their body by getting carbon from carbon dioxide. Also, Cyanobacteria find a way to live together in another cell. They became chlorophyll. They developed to many species of plants.
8. The third biggest invention was the symbiosis between single-cell and another single cell. It happened one billion years before, and then our Life spread into many kinds of shapes, ways of living.

 

 

Standing sway medimotion

 

1. Standing sways

 

Relax your whole body. Become a sea dragon that is swaying in the ocean. Imagine someone moves your imaginary tale, toward front and back, side and side; rotate from smallest circle to biggest circle.

2. Open each channel one by one

Body channel 
Listen to body feeling in each sway. Listen up to various part of the body which is shifting from stiff state to a flexible state. Taste Qualia when your body recovers fluidity.
Taste the mind/body shift when your body becomes a streaming body.
Continue every day until it becomes your pleasure of life.

Movement channel 
Move various ways; Change the initiating part of the body for swaying. Change direction in three dimensions. Change size from minimum to maximum. Change speed from slowest to top speed.

Visual channel 
Close your eyes gradually from half-eye to fully close eyes. Feel the change from conscious mode to subconscious mode depending on the brightness and the dark.
Stop moving and concentrate the shift of body feeling, heartbeat, breasting, the pressure of blood, and so on.

Audio channel 
Try various way of breathing with swaying, from bottom breathing to stomach breathing, chest breathing. Open mouth and throat and listen to the subtle body sound with breathing. Follow the body sound stream with amplifying gradually. Let the sound stream freely.

Emotion channel 
Listen to the subtle change of emotion. When do you feel the subtle uncomfortable feeling? In increasing speed? Changing of blood pleasure? Emotion is the messenger from your life to your consciousness. Talk with your subtle change of emotional signals.

3. Time-traveling in the history of Life 

The conscious process as a human
Go upstream of history of Life with swaying. Transform from human to proto creature gradually. Taste different way to feel Qualia in each stage of Life history. When you are in the stage of human, you feel your body with using cerebral cortex. Watch the human way of tasting Qualia carefully. When we are in daily body mode, our language brain forgets Qualia of Life memory reserved in the cell at all. Then with calming down consciousness, watch carefully how we feel Qualia in the subconscious realm.

Subconscious process
Slowly calm down your conscious level. Listen to the Qualia which your Life resonates in the Ocean. In the unconscious level, our limbic system, hypothalamus, and body have communication. They communicate by neurotransmitter, hormone, like dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline, serotonin, acetylcholine, endorphin and so on. We can catch this process through emotion. Taste it with a comfortable body feeling of subconscious mode. Slowly go upstream of the history of Life.

 

Animal
Listen to the communication between your cerebellum and body condition with changing balance, body position, and speed, unconsciously your cerebrum is working. Animals move by this system mainly. Taste the moving Qualia as an animal. 

Multi-celled creature

Shrink your body with swaying, bend your knees, close your pelvis, and chest a little bit. Sink into lower creature's state without nerve system.
Lower creatures grasped the body condition without nerve. Their life listens to body condition directly. Become lower creature, and imagine how they control body condition without nerve system. Try to feel the communication between each cell.

Single-celled creature
Shrink a little bit more, and become a single-celled creature.
They can feel Qualia of body condition and the outside world, through changing of cell's condition. When they receive sunshine, their cell becomes warmer, then they can move more flexibly, this change is the way of catching Qualia for them. Thinking and movement are not separated. It is a oneness. Feel this oneness state of life. Life grasped Qualia directly through this change of body condition.

 

 

Whole-Self medimotion

With swaying medimotion, ask your Life
"What do you want to do the most?"
About this question, you will meet many kinds of tendencies in your whole self. Say "Hello" to each tendency, and taste the Qualia of each tendency.
This will be long travel in the darkness of the body to meet your whole-self.

 

Life Qualia medimotion

To meet multiple tendencies of Life

When we calm down conscious mind and sink down into the darkness of body, we meet so many diversity of tendencies of Life.
Release from the daily body and daily mind like a human, and taste subtle tendencies in your whole-self world. 

Proto Qualia of Life

 

When we calm down our daily mind and shift to subconscious mode, at first, we can meet non-dual Qualia that is mixed of the primitive proto tendencies of Life and present human life.
They are felt as slow, heavy, and lazy and so on; they may be felt not as the human elements.
They are not recognized by the daily mind. Daily mind ignores them with labeling 'they are not me' because the daily mind is bound by the modern human concept.
According to the human concept, we have to be conscious, we have to keep the intelligent character as a citizen, and then these lower tendencies are driven away to a border area of whole-self. Also our parents, teachers don't affirm these tendencies and deny or ignore them. We had marginalized those Qualia and forgotten them at all.
But when we are released from human concept, we can taste so rich proto tendencies of Life.
I call them, 'Qualia of unable to move', 'Qualia of hard to move', 'Qualia of being moved', and 'Qualia of moving slowly', and so on.
These proto tendencies are imprinted in our cells as deep Life memories through the four billion years history of Life.
Origin Life must be unable to move after for a while Life could learn the way how to move. But their ability of movement was so tiny, and then they have to be moved by the wave of Ocean. For a long time, Life was swaying in the Ocean. 
Then we know these proto Qualia of Life, they are felt so familiar for us. When we follow these Qualia, we can create our own proto body as a type of subbodies. You can create your own ameba body, jellyfish body, hydra body, fish, bird, snake, dragon, animal, bird and unique imaginary creatures. These proto bodies are the first group of subbody.

Hidden characters

The second tendencies are hidden characters. They are called as a sub-character, inferior personality, shadow, not-me, and so on.
These characters are not received warmly to human society.
They are named with a bad image--not beautiful, not right, ugly, rude, rough, wrong, cunning, then denied as a good human character.
Then they have to hide their beings in the darkness of the body as a dissociated self. They are allowed to appear only in the dreamland. 
But when we become familiar with them, they have so unique and rich possibilities--curious, intentional, humorous, friendly, and so on.
They can create another world full of diversity. 

Archetypes

The third big tendency is the archetype.
C.G.Jung found so many archetypes of self-image and research in our collective unconsciousness.
Shadow, Anima, Animus, boy, old wise man, trickster, great mother, and so on.
Jung investigated in only self-image archetypes. But we have so many archetypes in each channel.

Archetypes in body channel are 'bound body' which cannot move at all, 'separated soul' which is left from our physical body, and so on.

Archetypes in movement channel are 'flying body' which can fly freely in the space, 'almighty body', 'secret powered body', and so on. We can meet in our dream world and myth, folktale, and so on.

Archetypes in the visual channel are brightness, darkness, and so many sceneries.

Archetypes in the audio channel are 'whisper from another world', ' voice of god', 'whisper by a demon', whisper from dead', and so on.
If we cannot open a specific channel enough, we are attacked through the channel as an illusion, delusion or strange experiences. When we can open the channel enough, we can play with them freely, because we know them as a familiar member of the whole self.

Archetypes in the emotional channel are stereotypical feelings--sad, anger, pleasure, fear, and so on. Our daily body is bound by these few kinds of typical feelings.
But when we are released from these archetypes, we can taste so rich varieties of feeling. We find millions of gradations between sad and pleasure, anger and fear, and so on. 

Archetypes in human relationship channel are social, solitude, dependence, independence and so on. Sometimes we are bound by these archetypes if our relational channel is not open, but we can travel freely between them in our subbody world by opening the channel.

Archetypes in self-image=world image channel are the Hell, Heaven, womb, Flood, War, the end of the world and so on. In these world image also our self-image is changed as a miserable person, happiest being, fetus, victim and so on.
These archetypes are imprinted in our genome like as the instinct, and then they are so strong. Sometimes they encourage us, but another time they bind us strongly.
When we try to create real creative work, we need to fight against archetype.
Through the travel of the darkness of the body, everybody can meet these diversities tendencies of life. and through the experiences, we can create our own subbody world.
This is one of the universal ways of creation for everybody...
We can create our multidimensional subbody Butoh dances through these diversities experiences.
It will be a gift to open richer awareness for the possibility to live in diversities ways through resonance. Because subbodies come from the deep resonance with a diversity of Life.
