Right now the clairvoyance the humor the suction the sensual the party the branch the small gift the dream state the exchange of personality the reminders the outfit the walking around experiencing the proof that will soon enough be no more the scent the walking slow in the night the staying up the lively conversations with strangers the willingness the sport the old passages:

I hold a stalk in my hand. I am the stalk. My roots go down to the depths of the world, through earth dry with brick, and damp earth, through veins of lead and silver. I am all fibre. All tremors shake me, and the weight of the earth is pressed to my ribs. Up here my eyes are green leaves, unseeing. I am a boy in grey flannels with a belt fastened by a brass snake up here. Down there my eyes are the lidless eyes of a stone figure in a desert by the Nile. I see women passing with red pitchers to the river; I see camels swaying and men in turbans. I hear tramplings, tremblings, stirrings round me.

Up here Bernard, Neville, Jinny and Susan (but not Rhoda) skim the flower-beds with their nets. They skim the butterflies from the nodding tops of the flowers. They brush the surface of the world. Their nets are full of fluttering wings. ‘Louis! Louis! Louis!’ they shout. But they cannot see me. I am on the other side of the hedge. There are only little eyeholes among the leaves. Oh, Lord, let them pass. Lord, let them lay their butterflies on a pocket-handkerchief on the gravel. Let them count out their tortoise-shells, their red admirals and cabbage whites. But let me be unseen. I am green as a yew tree in the shade of the hedge. My hair is made of leaves. I am rooted to the middle of the earth. My body is a stalk. I press the stalk. A drop oozes from the hole at the mouth and slowly, thickly, grows larger and larger. Now something pink passes the eyehole. Now an eyebeam is slid through the chink. Its beam strikes me.

Light Touch Practice (22 min) is a lying down practice starting to investigate how deep light touch can go. Gentle energy activation. Good for a warm up or a shorter practice to recalibrate with the self. This is also a very soft way to begin to the qi gong explore sexual energy practice. If that is something that you’re curious about, this shorter video can be a guide for you to begin to identify and activate what that energy feels like to you and how you want to interact with it. (Sexual energy is a kind of qi that can be utilized for many purposes and situations beyond sex with self and others. It’s seen as a healing energy, an energy that supports youthfulness/vitality, and is a guide to tap into your pleasure, joy, and satisfaction.
