NEW Series
Alignment Practice
Hosted by Anca Kuhns, Beyond Orion
Topic: LOCATE
Thurs, 9/3, 6:30 PM MST (1hr)
From Anca: I'm starting LOCATE as a group practice for whoever is interested in making their embodiment a priority, and my entire day now is very "Locate" centered.
It's common that when I think I know enough about something—that I can really define it—it shows me a lot more of itself … and sort of chuckles. (At least that's my sense of it.)
I thought I understood the pause. That pause between reaction and response.
Something happens. I pause long enough to find myself before responding. Simple enough.
But as I've been paying much closer attention to that space, I've started noticing just how quickly we fill it.
Something happens, and almost immediately, I know what it means.
Or at least… I think I do.
Someone's expression changes. My body feels something.
I receive a message. Something doesn't happen when I expected it to.
And within seconds—or probably much faster than that—I've interpreted it.
Then something really interesting happens: My body begins experiencing my interpretation.
Which makes it increasingly difficult to distinguish between what I actually experienced and what I decided the experience meant.
I've been playing with reversing some of that order. Giving experience a little more time before asking it to become articulated.
▪ What did I actually notice?
▪ What did my body register?
▪ What became available before I knew what to call it?

During Thursday night's Alignment Practice, we experimented with exactly that. We gave experience a little more time and allowed articulation to emerge from what we noticed.
And now I'm curious: What changes when interpretation comes second?
That alone is fascinating beyond what I originally even imagined—and we haven't even started :).
Hence, we all practice. Together.
LOCATE stands on its own, teaching us about ourselves.
Whether you join the group practice or not, I invite you to practice this anyway because the resonance works just the same :).
