The Five Structures as Five Parts Landscapes — The Living Body examination

Eleven questions. Nine of eleven passes, and you can take it again as often as you like.

What does the module say about mapping the five structures as parts landscapes?

It provides precise entry points for integrated somatic-parts work It shows that every person has exactly the same inner landscape It is a theoretical exercise with no practical use It replaces the need to ask the client anything
How should a manager's hyper-attunement to others be approached first?

Confronted directly and firmly as a defence to be dismantled Honoured as the gift it is before being invited to soften Ignored so attention can go to the exile Praised and encouraged to grow stronger
In the Masochistic landscape, what does the compressed belly hold?

Neither of them, since the belly in this structure is entirely numb Both the exile's rage and the protector's compression around it Only the protector's compression, with nothing beneath it Only the exile's rage, with no protector present at all
Why can working with the Masochistic structure feel paradoxical?

The structure has no protectors at all, only exiles waiting to be met Clients with this structure almost always refuse to be touched Every attempt to release compression touches protector and exile at once The exile lives far away from the protector, in a different segment
What does the course name as the Masochistic somatic signature?

A vacant gaze in which nobody seems to be at home A floating sense of never quite touching the ground below A hollow centre concealed beneath an inflated, powerful chest Immense pressure in a body that is both holding and being held
Which is an example of the Masochistic firefighter erupting?

Steady, calm and careful planning of the week ahead Warm, generous hospitality offered freely toward others Soft, quiet tears during a gentle guided meditation Passive-aggressive sabotage, the only 'no' that felt safe
What image does the module use for sudden explosive anger in this structure?

The cork blowing off a pressurised bottle A river bending gently around a stone A tree quietly growing a new ring A gate slowly opening in an old wall
Why is titration essential rather than merely advisable with the Masochistic landscape?

Releasing compression too fast can flood the system with rage and terror The compression always returns in full if it is released only gradually The practitioner needs time to take careful notes The client quickly becomes bored if the work goes slowly
Which of these is a micro-expression the Luminous approach might invite?

A full scream held for as long as possible Vigorous pounding of a cushion with both fists A slight opening of the jaw that lets a small sound out A long talk explaining the origins of the anger in detail
What principle governs the pace of micro-expressions?

The fastest pace the client can bear The body's pace, not the mind's ambition The session's schedule, not the body's The practitioner's plan, not the client's
Over what timescale does the course say this Masochistic work unfolds?

Three focused sessions at the very most A single intensive weekend retreat A few days of concentrated daily practice Months and years rather than sessions
