Bottom Up Processing, BODYMIND Difference

---

---

Three months of full time work in the mind-dominant structures & institutions of the ordinary middle world is taking its toll on my energy, body & nervous system.

Top down processing & expression is not my natural way of being. I feel the escalating dysregulation from the pace, constant demand to internally translate, monitor & mask to be seen and heard.

Burnout creeps in.

Like many others, my embodied & creative (heart-led, soul-led & relational) way of being in the world, bottom up processing (intuitive, informed by felt-sense which speaks the language of the body - it's sensations, feelings, emotions) is, at best, simply either misunderstood or considered of no worth & at worst, is pathologised, in the materialist, neoliberal & rationalist systems.

What to do? I don't want to dissociate or bypass.

Accept what is. Care for my body & nervous system. Feed my Soul. Lean into non verbal, creative, symbolic ritual & expression (like I did yesterday at New Moon ... see post pic & if you didn't know my creative & spiritual work before Neurodivergent advocacy check out my published books, link in bio & website). Be the bridge.

Collaborate. Co-produce. Coparticipate. There's absolutely no way survival is an individual endeavour.

Understanding difference & diversity of the human bodymind & the union of mind, body & the nonmaterial (however defined) is integral to restoring wellness.
