We had a few recognizable faces like Don and Stacy, but other than that, today in Roslyn kept me out of my familiar element of the friendly confines of Woodbury. One thing I do like in Roslyn, is the darkness as there are no windows. It lends sort of an ethereal smoke like atmosphere to the proceedings. Spinning in the dark is a version of sensory deprivation. Without the element of visual distraction the focus of our moving physiology takes on an even deeper precedent. As long as I can see the green LED light on Kristen’s mike, sound is my guide.
Kristen does the lost art of direct eye contact. I absolutely love this because when two people’s eyes meet the energy exchange is nothing short of spectacular. She as the instructor gave me several doses of it today, and it was as if she let me top off with some nuclear power to move me through one strenuous session.
Eye to eye contact takes courage because in the gaze of another we find the depths of commitment absent the fear that often accompanies looking directly at someone. It’s like truth serum for the soul and in this climate of planetary isolation with Blackberry's, i phones and Droids we rarely subscribe to human contact unless it is with our significant other or immediate family.
Refreshing to find a professional as bold as KG because she holds nothing back anyway.

Fear of a direct eye contact stems from the same place that the fear of a naked human body comes from. Looking in one's naked eye is like exposing oneself becoming vulnerable without a pretentious mask.
ReplyDeleteI love what you said and how you said that: the 'art of eye contact' - it really is art of courage.
Clothing cannot provide the cover when we look directly into another's eyes and God help me I love it. It brings us closer even if the words are absent.
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE A NUT.
ReplyDeleteFrom you I take that as a compliment
