After the expierience of one month course

When I met Lee at the first time, he said that listen to your body always,
"Are you doing what you want the most, at the place where you want to be the most?"

I continued to ask this question to me for this month.

 

At the middle day of second week, Finally I could to cantact to the deepest of the darkness of my body.
Before I could not touch to my traumas and dissociations at all because of fear.
When I contact with them, strong emotion came up and I could not control it.
I asked to Lee what should I do when I confused by this.
He answered to me the following;
1 Notice that it is your subbody.
2 Recieve it as a part of your whole self, even if it is very ugly and miserable one.
3 Become friend with the subbody for long time.
4 Dance the subbody with becoming it by your whole body and mind.
5 After dancing as the subbody, calm down yourself by using calming technique which you learn at this school.
6 You know the nature and charactor of the subbody gradually.
7 When subbody can come out in the creative subbody butoh world, subbody become calm and friendly with you. The dager of accidental discharge will decrease.
8 When the accidental discharge occur unfortunately, we hug the subbody by all. then it will calm down.

I tryed these advices and I could travel to the deeper world of the darkness of my body, and connect with them.
Through these expieriences finally I found that I could unify my different charactors which are separated for a long time.
Especially in my case, Sara as a physical performer and Aiko Kobayashi as a dailly body was completely separated, but now they become oneness.

Off course, he does not remove our problems. he give us the chance and way how to face our problems by his many methods. We have to continue to face them and overcome.

Through this one month expieriences, sometime it was hard for me
But when I notice my whole self, I found that this is true myself which are released from every bounds.

When I did not know about the enemies, I was afraid them. but after knowing about them
I am not afraid.

The last day Lee said to me the same word as the first day.

Yes, I will continue to ask my self the question from now on.

I apriciate to the many friends who met at this school and Lee from my heart.
