MY ROOM 1
SESSION ONE — SOMATIC ROOM
IGNORING EXTERNAL DISTRACTIONS
This is a link to the ‘Principles’ tutorial video - ‘My Room - Session 1 - Principles.’
The First Red Rule:
“We all throw a somatic shadow; most people are scared of their shadow, so don’t look at it.”
― Robert (Sherpa) Millar
Session one takes the woken primitive and sets him on the hunt. Each step in the program adds a filter to how you pay attention. Build on them systematically over the next five sessions.
Your primitive now needs to slow down. You are awake and are paying attention to your surroundings.
One of the hardest lessons I learned was the danger of overlooking my impact when I scanned a room for danger. Too often, I was the critical catalyst in the situation. If I try to calculate what is happening without first feeling what I am transmitting, then the whole calculation will be wrong. The first somatic point of reference is me. X always marks the spot! Because you are the one constant X-factor in every room you enter. My Certainty and Confidence tend to distract sleepwalkers, while they often overlook my Curiosity and Clarity.
I have literally bet my life on what I feel certain about! When people feel that certainty, they overvalue its significance in what will happen now. I'm not betting my life anymore, but the somatic certainty from those experiences remains. It radiates into every room I enter. People sense it without understanding why. Your shadow isn't just what you notice—it's what others feel from you, creating distraction even when you're calm. But you get my point. You are a tier-one operator; you will distract people with irrelevance that they admire. Certainty and Confidence are merely two of the most common. Use that to your advantage! Find your X, then start there!
PROFILE — SOMATIC ROOM
Each session ends with the Somatic Exercise sheet. Add the highlighted elements to your focus. You will continue to use the My Now steps in this exercise. This means begin with Everything and now work down to the Somatic Room. The complete 31-page PDF lives on the landing page with the video tutorials.
In My Now, you profiled:
T.O.E., Annual Word, and somatic totem animal. (Jehovah Jireh – Simple – Wolf)
Two thematic signals. (Stress – Naked Now)
An extrinsic and intrinsic plan. (Stage One – 100 Strong)
I added my profile as an example. These seven somatic contact points create a unique somatic effect in every room (situation) I am in. The principle undergirding session one is that you, too, have a unique somatic shadow that you throw in front of you as you enter a room. This shadow is your somatic x-factor. The work you did in My Now should allow you to quantify that shadow by calculating the combined contact points of your My Now profile. With enough practice, you will develop a somatic cue (tap on the shoulder) from your primitive hunter to check for the shadow effect when you enter new situations. In one-on-one coaching sessions, I literally leave the room so the client feels the space absent my somatic presence.
Somatic Data, Signals, Planning, Stillness, and Restlessness are like putting on your gear before you start the hunt. While they belong in the Golden Now (hence the color shift), they are critical to pay attention to when reading rooms: fully awake and present, as your authentic, primitive self. There are rarely that many people like you in a typical room.
If you are confused about the reflection sequence below, it is because you ignored the video tutorials. Both the Principles and Practices tutorials we prompted you to watch.
In the next post, we'll explore Somatic Certainty.

They call me 'Sherpa' because I help people get to where they want to go. I can't promise you will have all your fingers and toes when you reach your summit. But you'll achieve it. If you're looking for easy, this isn't it. If you want transformation, start here: Sherpa Intro Tree — Bespoke Compass
