1. Context <\/strong>
\nOur current situation, relationships, culture, disposition and the environment are all embodied. We are layered adaptations to context and history.<\/p>\n

2. Comfort<\/strong>
\nThe body reveals what’s familiar. We feel \u201cat home\u201d in what we have practised, and it feels easy.<\/p>\n

3. Joy <\/strong>
\nDelight reveals what’s needed or longed for.<\/p>\n

4. Holography <\/strong>
\nThe body reveals our way of being in all things.<\/p>\n

5. Deviation <\/strong>
\nInability to follow a form reveals habitual patterns. Habits assert themselves unconsciously and are exposed by form.<\/p>\n

6. Guidance <\/strong>
\nThe body can guide our life. When listened, to the body gives wisdom. Not too be confused with comfort!<\/p>\n

7. Practice <\/strong>
\nWe are always practising (unconsciously or consciously) and become what we practice. We can learn to embody new ways of being over time.<\/p>\n

8. Contrast<\/strong>
\nThe body reveals and learns by exaggeration, contrast and embodied differentiation of new distinctions.<\/p>\n

9. The social<\/strong>
\nWe learn in relationship. By being witnessed and naming something to others we deepen insight and declare new futures.<\/p>\n

10. Integration <\/strong>
\nWe can transfer embodied learning into daily life by creating micro indicators and asanas, and by designing a practice routine.<\/p>\n

Supplemental laws:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

11. Process <\/strong>
\nThe body is a process (verb), and it benefits us to listen and follow.<\/p>\n

12. Self-regulation <\/strong>
\nThe fight-fight-freeze and craving responses can be managed by though relaxation, expansiveness and structural alignment<\/p>\n

13. Trigger <\/strong>
\nShadow is revealed by triggering and infatuation<\/p>\n

14. Chaos <\/strong>
\nThe body is free and has no laws! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
