Hello Again, <br /><br />I hope I'm not bothering you with my failed attempts at writing. It has been an enormous and continuous struggle this term to write. I cant seem to express my thoughts into words or words that make sense. <br /><br />This particular writing I'm sending is a response to an online class discussion. The title of my class is Human Processes: Body Symptoms. The material taught follows the teachings of Arnold Mindell. Who is a Jungian analyst. The book we read was Working with the Dreaming Body. We focused on learning and practicing process work through our Dreambody and bodily symptoms. I admit it is nothing but fascinating, but also incredibly hard to understand and completely crazy, but a good kind of crazy. <br /><br />My instructions were to briefly reflect on my experience of the course and share the aspects of the course that will be most useful and relevant in my personal journey. <br /><br />As you will notice, my writing is poop. Heres a little more info on Process Work. Taken from the http://www.aamindell.net/dreambody/.<br /><br />The dream body is your personal, individual experience of the Tao that cannot be said in consensual terms, while dreams and body experiences are like the Tao that can be said. The dream body is analogous to the quantum wave function in physics. Just as the quantum wave function cannot be seen in consensus reality but can be understood as a tendency for things to happen, the dream body is a non-consensus reality, sentient, pre-signal experience manifesting in terms of symptoms and unpredictable motions. (p. 510).<br /><br />Process-oriented dream body work provides a methodology by which identified aspects of individuals, relationships, groups, and systems can be unraveled in order to gain insight into the deeper meaning of what is calling to be discovered, enhancing awareness of these usually unknown or unfamiliar aspects of existence. In order to embark on this journey, modalities such as vision, audition, proprioception (inner body feeling), and movement are used to enter behind the &ldquo;dream doors&rdquo;; to travel toward deep sentient experiences to re-emerge with new knowledge and awareness.<br /><br />I apologize for long drawn out introduction, but this stuff is crazy and it is making me crazy. <br /><br />Thank you, <br />Lindsay. <br /><br />
