Touch it ... gently

What technology is imbued in this Fat and Muscle?

What perfect purpose and promise in this Fat and Muscle?

What systems of awe inspiring magnificence work in tandem with this?

FEEL it ... with reverence

Know it to be yours

This Fat and Muscle.

Drift now ... if you will

To your blood flowing through this Body

What wild Divine intelligence in this Blood?

What technology is imbued in this Blood?

What perfect purpose and promise in this Blood?

What systems of awe inspiring magnificence does it flow toward?

FEEL it ... flow

Know it to be yours.

This Blood.

Fall gently now ... if you will

Cells ... atoms ... light

The Body

Somatic Intelligence.

Interconnected flow of diversity.

With common goal.

Human.

To Exist.

With no bells or incense or faith

Come here often.

To where you are

In your Temple.

Presence.

All ways.

Always.

Until last breath.

***************

The poetry above is shared through the lens of my Nervous System practice of 5 years and the background of a lifetime passion, study and experience of a wide variety of "healing" modalities from the mainstream to the shamanic.

A lifetime exploration of what constitutes "inner peace" and potential for peaceful human society.

I say with more confidence than I have ever experienced, as a person who tends towards confidence of perception - Nervous System regulation practice is for every Body.

Regardless of personal passion, culture, belief, preference or individual canopy of meaning.

Nervous System Regulation practice is the most accessible, empowering, sustainable and foundational practice I have ever encountered by far - for those, like me, who seek to be the most functional, fruitful, fabulous version of a human it is possible to be.

Our Bodies - the most brilliant piece of technology and instrument of perception that will ever grace this planet.

Almost completely misunderstood and misperceived perceived - if perceived at all.

The transmitter and receiver of information and energy that we are walking around in every day as our minds search for "the" answers.

The answers that we actually already are.

The time that the bodily meditation, expressed in the poem, arose within me, was just prior to beginning my journey, studies and body of work ... {me ... I AM the "body of work" ... as are you} ... of Nervous System regulation practice and the effect of stored trauma in our bodies - impacting EVERY possible corner of human existence, potential, society and experience.

AND ... the potential revealed with increasing regulation and release of stored trauma.

Not every one will heal.

But everyone CAN.

Words fail to express my profound joy at the discovery of a clear, biological pathway to a truth I had always believed despite all and any evidence to the contrary - in myself or others.

The poem was foreplay to the main event of making love with myself and thus - every Body.

Through a process expressed within the poem - I consciously journeyed deep within myself for the first time.

My body as unique as my fingerprint - yet exactly like yours.

Literally, rather than as some etheric or intellectual construct, and was ripe to explore my own internal, unimaginably magnificent system as a pathway to my own potential and peace.

So I encourage you, dear reader, to read the poem again.

Slowly.

Out loud.

Feeling it.

In your body as actual sensation.

Rest your conscious attention on the places it leads you within your "self".

Perhaps even have a partner read it to you as you relax deeply into the guided tour of your "self".

Perhaps you will expand the poem to include systems and locations within your body that are relevant to you and your individual well being at this time.

Places in your "self" that need your kind, reverent attention to soothe their dis - ease.

WITHIN - Literally.

We are so much more than we have imagined.

About the Creator

Fiona Mclennan

I love the magic of words and how they never mean a single thing.

For no matter the intended message I ascribe to what I say or write - the receiving of my words is as limitless and unique as our fingerprints.

How Divine.

What fun.

Enjoy.
