Episode 10 : Show Notes

* Special note: we have a social four all lined up for an upcoming episode!

* A brief outline of our work, much of which is based on our on-the-ground life-experience.

* Bryce shares a story about a recent medicine journey experience that he and Victoria shared, which he then unpacks through the rest of the episode...

* iAwake: an *awesome* company that Bryce was a beta-tester for some fifteen years ago, and which he offers this affiliate link: https://zo158.isrefer.com/go/home/brightdark/

* Bryce in a hammock, listening to an iAwake track, eyes, closed, and oh boy, his self-pres instinct kicks in STRONG (ie, fear).

* Bryce's four-is shame about his dominant self-pres instinct experience.

* Images of death, but prior to that: visions of torture.

* Filleting out the difference between head-type-fear and self-pres-instinctual-fear.

* Bryce's re-imagining of the moment of Victoria's dad's death: ways that Bryce, had he been there, might have created a different outcome.

* The distortion of the self-pres instinct: "My life is constantly under threat", and Bryce's four-ness then denies it.

* The gift of a healthy self-pres instinct: "Life is a sacred gift."

* Bryce explores the gift of the sexual instinct: "The non-dual unity with everything."

* Victoria shares her experience from the journey, detailing a looking for insight, a comparing mind, and... a very spacious Presencing.

* Bryce describes a very intense physical experience during the journey, and a realization of the degree of bracing against the sensory experience... and an allowing of both the experience and Victoria's witnessing of his experience.

* Bryce's historical harsh-testing of his body's limits.

* BUT - in this journey, something so different: Victoria's grounded and loving presence and holding, and Bryce's allowing of the experience.

* Bryce's subtype-deconstructor practice of leaning into vulnerability and even "weakness".

* Bryce has a moment of honesty and lightness, which begins the unfolding of a very liberating process.

* An invitation to give us your questions!
