The Promise of Integration: When Parts Come Home

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

What does the course say emerges when somatic and parts work are woven together?

Total freedom from all defence A single dominant protector A body free from its history Embodied wholeness
How does the module describe Self-energy once integration occurs?

A purely mental perspective with no bodily form or location A protector that takes charge of all the others An exile that finally speaks after long silence Not only a quality of mind but a quality of embodiment
Toward what does the whole system reorganise when parts are met with Self-energy?

The shape of the healthiest person the client knows A fixed standard posture Its own innate blueprint for wholeness A theoretical ideal chosen by the practitioner
Which of these does the module explicitly say is NOT the promise of Somatic-Parts Integration?

A body inhabited by a Self that holds its parts Exiles that feel received The elimination of all defence Protectors that feel honoured
What does the protector that was inflating the chest discover through integration?

That it must now inflate the chest even more than before That groundedness does not diminish its power That the exile should take over That it has no role left at all
What does the firefighter that erupted in rage discover?

That emotion can move through the body without destroying anything That the body is simply unable to feel anger at all That rage must be held in firmly for the rest of the person's life That it should hand over all control to a careful manager
Which metaphor does the module use for a body whose every part is heard?

A garden whose weeds are finally gone A chorus that becomes harmony rather than cacophony A machine whose many moving parts are finally aligned A fortress whose walls are finally strong
In the practice 'Meeting a Part Through the Body', what do you do after choosing an area of sensation?

Bring full attention to it, not to fix or change it, only to be with it Massage the area firmly with your hands until the sensation finally fades away Move on quickly to a calmer and more comfortable area Label it with a clear diagnosis before going any further
Which questions does the practice suggest asking the part silently?

How old are you? What is your name? Where exactly do you hurt? What went wrong? Who is to blame? How do I fix it? Who are you? What are you holding? What do you need me to know? Why are you here? When will you leave? Who sent you?
With what quality does the practice ask you to meet whatever emerges?

As you would meet a child who has carried something heavy for years As a judge weighs the evidence before reaching a verdict As a scientist records data carefully and without any feeling at all As a coach motivates a tired athlete to keep on going
What does the module name as the next Luminous dimension to be explored?

Athletic Somatics, training the body as a tool for peak performance Temporal Somatics: the body holding the compressed future as well as the past Cultural Somatics, reading the body as a record of nations and whole peoples over time Clinical Somatics, reading the body as a medical chart to be managed
