I was doing some work with a man half way round the world from me. We used video calls for our sessions.
He had amazing unapologetic energy. A very strong presence.
We got into trouble with each other.
One day we came to our session in complete silence. As if we had made an agreement to do so. As if we were in perfect alignment.
We sat in silence, looking at each other. Maybe for an hour, not a word spoken.
I suddenly felt as if the surface of my face was shifting. As if, possibly, I was re-experiencing a slap, a hit.
Tears poured down my face without a sound.
My low back and pelvis felt pain. I breathed, I cried quietly. I felt an untwisting, unwinding, deep within.
The pain I felt shifted, dissipated, left.
Pure silence, pure presence.
Possibly the gentlest, deepest work I've ever experienced.
Wow!
