Exploring Lineage through the Grounding System

An Embodied Inquiry

This is a somatic practice focused on exploring how our lineage histories live in the GROUNDING SYSTEM. The Grounding System is one of our three primary autonomic systems. In its disease-creating facet, it is the embodied home of lifethreat shutdown responses. In its health-creating face, it is the root of embodied grounding, intuition, and our experience of rootedness in our experience and on the earth. In this practice, we explore the way that ancestral patterns of relating live in this part of our neurology.
