Mouthing Pattern..

Sucking, rocking head into spine.
Movement down the whole length of the spine.
Whole body experience.
Fluid line.

External & internal witness.
Can witness internally if coaxed.
Noticing seeing eyes.
Switching on attention.

Moving from the Sea Squirt (mouthing pattern)

towards the lancelet (soft spine)

Adding two tubes to the digestive system - the NOTOCHORD (soft - eventually becoming the spine & disks) & the NEURAL TUBE (eventually becomes the brain & spinal chord). Recognising the difference between front & back. FRONT - digestive tract. MIDDLE - reminance of notochord. BACK - reminance of neural tube.

Gives us sequential movement, fluidity & awareness of front & back in relationship to the central line. Spine & brain are bathed in fluid. We have all lived a soft spine.

Writing from my experience:

Organ brain.   Fluid.   Jelly spine - soft. Like a baby in the womb.   No gravity.  Spine not having to support or hold anything.                Blue? Sea? Water?                 Floating.

Breath floating through my spine. Weightless digestive tract.   Relationship between brain, mouth & spine. Spinal chord - spinal disks.       Water.               Backwards blinks.            Spiralling the fluid. Awareness of middle in relation to front & back. Jelly fish brain - tentacles dangling down into the body.

Spine not as solid bone.                                           3D.                                  What's in-between?  

Thinking of my spine as a water sock

(as you squeeze it, it slips  from your hands - has a hole travelling all through the centre)

- has fluid in-between the outer layers.
