First weekend in a while where I've done something. A milestone (or is it a millstone?)! I went to a Rosen Method open house from 1pm to 5pm in a local center. I got to experience a bodywork session. I also sat through a discussion about the method and what it is and what it's not. I also watched a segment of a DVD about the method and its founder, Marion Rosen. We then did a short version of a movement class. The bodywork session was interesting. I felt all kinds of associations with the work being done by the group in Santa Cruz. The use of touch in the Rosen Method is like the yin tuina techniques and FSR (Forceless Spontaneous Release) that I've had in various sessions.

In today's work, I definitely noticed shifts in my muscle tensions as I was attended to. I had an odd sensation of nausea when my hips were moved sideways. I don't think I've ever had such a sensation before as I received bodywork. Live and learn! Or is it the opposite--learn and live!

Watched a somewhat interesting film tonight--Mammoth. It was a very modern story and script about the intertwined lives of several people all somewhat dislocated in various ways. It was interesting to follow the shifts and flips caused by switching between the various very different lives. It also got a little tiresome after the switching was done a few times and I didn't feel that the ending was complete enough for me--too many loose ends still--but maybe life is that way.

Felt good today! Looking forward to tomorrow--to what I'm not sure about--but looking anyway!
