On this day in 1948, the United Nations adopted a universal set of human
rights that apply to all of us.
We honor this milestone towards creating a more free and equal world.
2025: “Human Rights, Our Everyday Essentials”
May we find opportunity to embody
this each day and by doing so protect them.

Most of us are familiar with all the external senses illustrated to the left — although we prioritize some over others, usually sight or sound.
Our brains actually process several more non-stop, and if we allow them into awareness, can change our lives in remarkable ways.
Gravity, interoception and energetic connectivity are particularly valuable:

We work with our physical structure to revise beliefs, because our bodies are built to support change – constantly in flux, adaptable, responsive to choice.
Most of us react by cutting off choice. On earth, movement is as fundamental as gravity. When we make a rule, when we cut off choice, it shows up in the body as movement stopped.
By moving out of resistance into confusion, we induce a state in the body which allows opening to new choice and then on toward discovery and integration.
Restoring mobility restores choice.

Integrated Awareness is
an innately human set of skills for healing and wholeness through movement, touch, enhanced awareness and changes of consciousness. We are each a complete person, but we often feel ourselves to be a collection of parts, any of which can put up filters and set off defenses preventing us from living in the now.

Change always starts from within. Even if the signs are external, recognizing them requires that we perceive our environment differently.
And, we are primates. We learn by encountering an example new or different to us, experimenting by trial and error if we want to learn or change, and then manifesting what we have discovered in our own unique way.

“If you were to design a physical structure by which a soul, an aspect of the divine, could journey within earth reality, you would surely do everything possible to create a feedback loop, an information system, through which that embodied soul might make intelligent interpretations of experience and wise choices for creating more.
For efficiency’s sake, you might base that feedback system on built-in parallels, intrinsically elegant metaphors, holograms and analogs to the true nature of the soul, only in physical form.

In IA, by presence, we mean congruence—spatially, temporally, and intentionally. If no part of yourself is off doing something else, then you are in that moment, operating in a state without judgment.

We all have many things in common: birth and death, gender, nervous systems, skeletons, genetic endowments, minds and feelings. If we look, what differs most strikingly are our habitual movements and postures and their extraordinary variation in degree of ease and grace.
Gravity is a universally shared part of all our lives–consistent in itself–yet we struggle with and utilize it in wildly different ways. Much of this comes from confusing the habitual with easy – thinking that the familiar is also preferable. Actually, it is often not your friend.
