3. I notice the muscles in my back tensing up. Is just noticing that enough? Do I just stay curious about the sensation in the body?

2. When I hear Irene talk about dropping down into safety, I get triggered into memories of ‘dropping down’ into anesthesia and the terror of surgery. Any suggestions?

1. Is the drop always outside the body, to the floor or cushion or chair vs. inside the body, to sacral area? Does the direction of the drop make a difference? Or is it just the intention of dropping, in whatever direction?

3. After doing this exercise, I am noticing that the difference between my two legs is becoming more marked — they both feel comfortable and warm, but the right leg is even more warm compared to the other one — I can feel it throughout the leg and down into the feet. In contrast, the left leg is warm (but not tingly), and the left ankle is a bit cold. I am interested to know why this might be?

2. One of the readings accompanying the diaphragm exercises talks about self-touch. When I lay my hands on body parts as directed, even when I go under my clothing and have skin on skin, I can’t actually feel myself.

4. It’s hard for me to picture a diaphragm in my pelvis, whereas we got really specific about the location of the kidneys, how big they are, etc. Any suggestions for visualizing diaphragms?

3. I wonder why sometimes we fall asleep when we do these exercises. As a person who doesn’t nap or fall asleep very easily, it’s a crazy experience to literally almost pass out. Thoughts?
