-I gained a clearer sense of how helpful it can be to make a phrase, word, or just even sound really embodied in order to understand it. Making a gentle story up around something puzzling.
-The whole session reminded me of the peaceful state of thinking I had a good deal of experience with in the early grades in Waldorf classrooms, where the teachers made their speech and habits of inflection a consciously suited to the states of being of children as they could. I kept thinking of my reading-aloud and how what I was doing in both cases was the same.
-I am curious to see/experience how speech can change a life with being more aware.
