Vestibular pleasure and the Wonder Body: how balance, equilibrium, orientation turn us on!

NOTE: we had some technical issues on the backend but this episode should now be available (refresh your feed).
In this episode of Season 3, Amy and Alex explore three senses: balance, equilibrium, and orientation and their interplay. How do these senses keep us upright–or not–as we move through the world? Do they atrophy over time? How can we keep them intact? In what contexts can they bring us pleasure? We wander into conversation about adults in playgrounds and internalized homophobia and the community of adults who still like to play on the swings.
Want to experiment with these on your own? Try going to a playground (feel free to take a kid or a dog as an escort). Or roll on a ball, jump in water, balance on one foot, or even do sun salutations.
Print out the coloring page for yourself and show us how it turns out.
And don’t forget theirs a little audio outtake gift after the music at the end. Sometimes worth hanging around. 🙂

Root Chakra and the Wonder Body: the deep potential at the bottom of it all

In this episode of Season 3, Amy and Alex explore the root chakra. They drop into the not one but two root mandalas in the coloring book and describe how those images ground them. Then there is always the place of breathing all the way down to your anus (or pelvic floor) and how awareness of the root can increase resiliency and relieve stress (“Better Living Through Anal Breathing”!). They offer some things you can do at home to bring more awareness to the critical central location in the body, both physically and energetically.
Share one of your colored “root” pages with us (download PDF). What do you see? We’d love to see through your eyes. 🙂

Sense of Sight and the Wonder Body: the bully sense, soothing colors, and live action coloring!

In this episode of Season 3, Amy and Alex explore the sense of sight, one of the big 5. In a departure, they try and color the “sight” page while conversing about the sense (see if they can actually multi-task!). So you may find their conversation a bit more languid than normal as they try and choose colors and talk at the same time. Print out the page for yourself and join us at the coloring table.
Sight, how it works, and how it creates pleasure. How is sight used to take in information about connection to others and our environment? Is the sense of sight a bully that dominates the other senses? When does our sight become habitual and at what cost?
Share your colored “sight” pages with us (download here). What do you see? We’d love to see through your eyes. 🙂
