Welcome to My Pecca Party
by Jeremy ChanceSince I invited Pecs Minor to the party, man are "my guys" having fun or what?!
Don't know what I am talking about?
Pecs Minor is a muscle: one of "my guys" = Pectoralis Minor. Pecca for short.
Thanks to Don (not Burton, Weed, but the Burton started all this 40 years ago) I recently discovered my little Pecca.
My little Pecca is behaving in scurrilous manner, getting away with all kinds of mischief for a number of years now.
How's yours behaving?
Here's how you find that out…
***
"My guys" and me have a lot of fun setting off fireworks every morning.
I sit down on my cushion, light my candles and incense, fill my water bowls and REMEMBER HOW LUCKY I AM to have so many past-tense teachers - who flooded my mind with memes - and present-tense teachers too. (my 3 jewels).
After that, I start my fireworks party.
Our party involves nothing more than a conversation together. It's my way to find out what "my guys" are up to. It's an altogether, one-after-the-other party. (This is a meditation session after all folks.)
All the fun is in the "one-after-the-other" as long as it all stays together. One of FM's big insights was your sequence of thinking was as critical as the overall content.
It's not only WHAT you think: it matters in WHAT ORDER you think it.
So me and my guys play that game - what if you went this way, while of the rest of you went that way? I think it - altogether, one-after-the-other – then…
holy, Holy, HOLY!
The fireworks just started. The fireworks?
A cascade of new sensations triggered by the novelty of this new sequence, coupled with a new brain image, coupled with an original vector or two. Altogether, one-after-the-other.
I started this in 1985 when I first committed to daily meditation. Sitting (almost) every day gave me an opportunity to acquaint my Self with the micro-specific functions of individual muscle groups.
I am no David Gorman, nor a Chiropractic Don Weed. I'm more of a simpleton. Yes, I have read all about tensegrity and how fascia is the BIG NEW THING and honestly?
It makes me feel stupid.
Instead, I am content using basic anatomy texts, learning that this one starts here and then goes there and it does that (they think).
After absorbing anatomy-for-dummies, I sit down on my cushion and find out for my Self.
Of course, that starts to make me a geography guy - and I get into trouble with that. It's tempting to introduce rights and wrongs, good and bad, better and best. It should, it shouldn't - you know how it goes…
We are such duality machines – damn!
Anyway, 40 years of thinking about it, and 20 years of experimentally meditating on it, I gained a few village-idiot insights into how individual muscles function as part of the old man's "primary whole".
Don't quote me, but I found empirically it all works: that's BodyThinking Online.
A practical anatomy course infused with Alexander's discovery that isn't actually an anatomy course, but more of a toxic purification course.
Get rid of all that anatomical trash in your head, and see things differently.
I still haven't sent out my offer - time, time, time - so if you want to be in first to get my incredible generous, ONCE ONLY discounted offer to get my BodyThinking Online course, then register your interest below.
I promise, promise, promise I will send out my offer this week. But not in this email - you need to join the list.
