Essense of subbody method

1 Calm down

Calm down your daily body by breathing and swaying meditation.

When you feel relax and comfortable sway in your body, gradually your thinking is stopping, and become as quiet as possible.

To become quiet body is the entrance for subbody world.

2 Listen to the body

Transform from thinking mode to listening mode in the darkness of body.

You can feel subtle bodily feelings are streaming in your body. Taste them, enjoy them.

Slowly you will notice that they are streaming and changing in each moment at your various part of body and mind. Feel that each of your cells are resonating with gravity, air, temperature, light, sounds, and so on.

Listen in them carefully, these physical feelings are resonating with inner memories beyond time and space. Dreams, images, inner rhythms, visions are also streaming in your darkness of body. They are so tiny and delicate. They are million times subtler than daily sense. Listen in them as subtle as possible.

We call them "Qualia". Qualia are everything which life feels. Not only human, but all kinds of life feel qualia. Life is resonating through qualia with everything in the world. (About qualia: Read "The Qualia")

3. Become subbody

When you are feeling various subtle qualia in the darkness of body, if you catch a novel qualia, follow it, and taste it deeply.

And amplify it by whole body movement and mind. Become it by whole being.

Welcome! It is one of your subbody.

Subbody is unification of subconsciousness and body. They are not separated but oneness in the subconscious realm.

The feelings are always changing and streaming, you can become various beings or creatures.

Sometimes you may become air, wind, water stream, stone, and so on.

The other time, you may become ameba, bacteria, jellyfish, lizard, bird, animal, plant, and so on.

Or, your hidden characters which are hidden in the darkness of body may come out. Become every kinds of subbody. With becoming subbodies, you can travel in your whole self world.

4. Resonance

Life is resonating with everything through qualia. The resonance of qualia is so subtle, but when you become quiet body, you can catch it. Open you resonativity until the maximum. Taste the subtle resonance. They are resonating beyond time and space. Your present qualia are resonating with your hidden memories like as your mother's voice, skin, and so on. They are resonating with even memories of the dead. Your qualia are resonating with different qualia which your friends feel.

The resonance are happening beyond time and space, beyond every kinds of borders; between self and others, inside and outside, body and mind/, now here and nowhere indivisual and group, and so on. You can become cobody, too. Cobody is resonating subbodies. Taste the flexible transformation among subbodies and cobodies.

5. Transparency

The subbody world is full of creativity and originality. You don't need to effort to create something. Not you but your subbody will create various novel movements. You can just give your body for subbodies and cobodies, and follow them with vacating your ego and self. It becomes a novel, numinous and necessary creation without any restrictions. The creation is the biggest gift from your life and for the world. Taste the whole process transparently, and share it with the world transparently.

Introduction of subbody method

Conditioning for shifting into subbody mode

Subbody is subconscious body. In the subconscious realm, sub-consciousness and body is melting together into oneness. This world is completely different world from daily world. We need to learn how to shift from daily life to subbody life. Please learn the six steps for shifting subbody mode, and change your way of everyday life.

1. Be alone

We need to release from daily mode for becoming subbody. Daily body is bound by many binds; human relationship, social role, persona, judgment, and so on. When we are with people, we cannot release from these binds. To be alone, this is the most fundamental step for becoming subbody.

2. Stop talking

When we talk with others, we are bound by language consciousness. Language consciousness is bound by dualism logic; good/bad, right/wrong, self/others, inside/outside, mind/body, individual/kind, and so on. Subbody doesn't have these border. It lives in non-dual and multi-dimensional world. The second step is to stop talking, then gradually we are released from daily body and mind.

3. Listen in the subtle signal

The consciousness controls us as a director of our habit, action, thinking and everything in our daily life. For becoming subbody mode, we need to shift the position of consciousness from director to listener in the darkness of body( ＝subconscious world).
To retreat the position of consciousness is the most hard step for the daily body and mind. After retreat of consciousness, you can get the subbody mode, and listen to the subtle signal from the darkness of body.

4. Taste all qualia

When we start listening into subtle signal of body, we can meet so many diverse body feeling, image, vision, and so on. I call them "qualia".
Qualia are everything what the life feels. They are always changing and floating. Taste them deeply. Enjoy their diverse richness.

5. Become everything

When you feel interesting qualia, ride on them with whale body and mind. Become something. They may not human shape and out of humanistic imagination. Don't worry. here is no judgment of dualistic; right/wrong. Release your body as subbody which is streaming and changing shape flexiblly.

6. Resonate with everything

Our lives are always resonating with everything in the world, beyond time and space. Open your resonativity fully. Subbody is also shifting cobody. Cobody is resonating subbody. There are no border between your subbody and other's subbody. Subbody is cobody. Cobody is subbody. Congraturation! You reach the non-dual world of life. Now you can open your creativity, originality, and resonativity freely beyond all borders.

Please visit "Practice Guide" as the next step. You can learn how to condition your body and mind in various ways by yourself.

Prepare your body and mind until starting the subbody school life.

Try to change the initial part of body which is moved, pelvis, stomach, chest, and head, until the comfortable stream of body feelings fulfill your whole body.

3. Random swaying
