MY ROOM 5
SESSION FIVE — SOMATIC CLARITY
IGNORING EXTERNAL DISTRACTIONS
This is a link to the ‘Principles’ tutorial video - ‘My Room - Session 5 - Principles.’
The fifth Red Rule:
“I rarely find clarity; it’s the unicorn in the room. It is the power to feel something is so profoundly simple that you can explain it to a five-year-old, with a crayon.”
― Robert (Sherpa) Millar
Session five ends this program, reaching the rarest of the somatic cues. Clarity is now, and has always been, the rarest of creatures. If you have somatic clarity about more than a handful of things, then you are mistaking confidence for clarity. Clarity requires years of wrestling with a concept, through rigorous complexity, until you reach a pure form of profound simplicity.
If you have gotten this far, you have spent months doing the somatic exercises, making you more somatically awake, and increasing your capacity to pay attention. You should have seen significant changes in your life by now. Clarity is so rare, even a half-blind, incompetent sleepwalker should trip over it when they feel it. Because that is true, I don’t plan to spend any extra time on this somatic cue. You are an apex predator. If you feel a unicorn-like Clarity in the room, don’t worry about anything else other than catching it.
Every day, I want you to practice feeling what is about to happen by somatically revisiting each of these five somatic cues. In My Success, you learned to recognize subconscious categories and how to think around the next corner more effectively. In My Instincts, we have practiced recognizing somatic cues and feeling the ground beneath you more effectively. Your primitive hunter wants to hunt. Set him loose—who knows what he catches!
Reflection sequence:
The activation process brings itself to the foreground of your mind. The narrative unfolding in the Principle section activated empathic memories from your own lived experience. One of the most common mistakes clients make in this sequence is to ‘think’ about how the questions. Despite having spent six months being encouraged to ‘feel’ their way to the reflection point, they default back to the comfort zone of thinking. Your primitive hunter 'feels' things; it doesn't think about them. It feels for that familiar feeling of Clarity, then starts interrogating it for relevant information.
Now that you have conjured up those lived experiences from your own memory that feel similar to mine, I want you to slow down, find a quiet place to sit, then close your eyes, put your dominant hand on your chest, and check how you felt when reading the Principles section of this session, the instruction, the images, the tone. This isn’t touchy-feely mediation, mindfulness techniques. It is how tier-one operators check in with their spidy sense. If it makes you uncomfortable, tough it out!
Now that you can somatically feel clarity in a room, move to practicing. This program has five sessions. Whether you race through or take your time, come back and slow down. I created this program as a subject-matter expert in Somatic Reading, and I still do these Somatic Exercises daily. I need to stay awake and not sleepwalk, so I practice what I teach.
This is the final session of our first five core programs. My Mastery requires a selection process to access it so I won’t be offering any free first glance posts about its content.
THIS IS NOT TRAINING. IT'S CALIBRATION.
