			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Perpetual Motion Practice</em></strong><br />
<em> Use any music that has a steady rhythm (different tempi are fine) without silences at a sustainable pace.<br />
Keep moving as much of the entire body as possible for a minimum of 20 minutes. 40 minutes is best.</em></p>
<p>What I&#8217;ve been liking is that, though I generally begin with a sense of obligatory gloom, this practice invariably morphs into fun midway once <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endorphin">endorphins</a> kick in. Also, I need the purposeful parameter to simply get off the floor where I&#8217;ve blobbed down far too often, glazing off into dreamy stretching that is little better than a nap. Of course I love napping, but when stressed (as I had been for many months) napping became an escape rather than a healing. Opening the door of self-witness was something that I&#8217;d gotten out of practice with, not being able to tolerate much self-contact. Now that things have levelled out, I need to jump back inside. <strong>Perpetual Motion</strong> gets all my sleepy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_synapse">synapses</a> popping, and my body wakes into her story.</p>
<p>In terms of combining this pratice with <strong><a href="http://blog.dancemeditation.org/2008/05/02/may-day-ly-practice-1/">Shadow &amp; Light</a></strong>, I&#8217;ve found the right side of my body being very busy with space and time, very punchy, so Perpetual Motion suits the right side&#8217;s process.</p>
