my #somatic mentors insisted on two things that I am still engaged with & refining (forever) …
1/ I speak from my own direct experience, not through concepts
2/ I express my own words, and not use theirs or “pretend through their form”
to me this invites #differentiation

in other words … understanding words, even having mastery of the concepts that words describe
amounts to “very little value” from the standpoint of one’s own emergence
this is a provocative concept
esp to thinking minds (as I have)

But to use words to describe the actual experience of embodiment
To HAVE words that can speak
FROM this embodiment
that was what my mentors insisted upon, sometimes with harsh reproach

But more deeply, it’s not “to talk about the body” really at all
It is to speak FROM the body
with a MIND and a VOICE that is embodied, relating to and from a body (not a concept)
