Couch 144: The contact-miked cactus couch

Not sure what you mean by "use" ... I suppose some people use them for meditation or targetted healing... I don't really do that, but I find it useful to refer to them because I have a tendency to hold tension and fence off areas of my body from sensation. The chakra framework helps me explore the way I interact with these areas higher or lower in my body, and learn to connect them. And I think the attributions for each chakra generally hold true.

M sometimes uses them in guided exercizes, though he talks about them using the Chinese medicine equivalents since that is where his training is, not the Indian/ ayurvedic system.

Does anyone know anything about or use chakras?

I think I won't go. Uhhh

I was a hero today! The bus didnt come by at 3:50, but i thought i saw it zipping past on the cross street, so half an hour later i kept watch on the cross street, and waved it down as it approached, so it stopped for us. One guy told me, "good catch!" i swear my poor toes got sunburnt waiting that half hour. But my ice cream did not melt. i had wrapped frozen green beans around it

My t has done energy work w me before, like balancing chakras. Very calming.

She's hoping that it will help with my psychosomatic pain. And learning to feel my body. I'm not attached to it, I don't comprehend how feeling your body works

That is what M used it for.... it helped a lot though it can be very hard to do. There were some good reasons why I was disconnected from my body.

I think I need to go wallow in hot water, self-pity, and possibly a moderate amount of alcohol.

Thanks for the hugs on Dear T and In Session, una.
