For me this is the long version of Get Down by Revolting Cocks. The tempo and repetitive noise once we're into the long instrumental section has always been something I can just tune out the outside world to. Ideal for exercising.

You can’t experience that and expect to come out unscathed. Of course your body is feeling all that. We can’t ignore what our bodies are. We have them to feel with. If we don’t let them feel the grief, horror, terror, and emotional pain that come with being a modern person in a dysfunctional society, we will develop big problems.

Stress is a huge deal–unprocessed stress is a pandemic health issue.

I believe that most of what’s considered mental illness is actually a totally sense-making response to violence. That’s part of radical mental health. The solution in my opinion isn’t to medicate feelings away–the solution is to change the world. But while we work on that, our bodies are taking a huge hit.

I love ecstatic dance as remedy. My body needs to be allowed to feel. Trying to kill feelings with pills is an emergency measure that creates more harm, not a long term solution. Ecstatic dance is a safe way to allow my body to have a big reaction.

What if doctors prescribed dance, touch, sunshine, and pleasure? That would have good side effects, and there’s nothing to purchase. Capitalism is not furthered by authentic, self-knowledge based, realistic embodied self-love care. So I prescribe dance, touch, sunshine, and pleasure to myself.

My body needs to have a big reaction to big harms. But it’s not appropriate in most situations to respond immediately. Blowing up at a meeting is not ok. Yelling at people is just passing along harm and frowned upon. I often take the harm and crawl away to safely process it on my own.

But I can’t think my way out of the violence that’s done to me. For healing, all of me needs to be involved, but especially my body. It’s actually not safe, to drag myself to an isolated place to quietly suffer alone. I need movement and community.
