The More Regulated You Are, the More You Can Receive

Why do we regulate the nervous system, and why do we pay attention to it?

Because the more regulated your nervous system is, the more you can take in, and the more you can take in on every level.

You can take things in sensorially. You can take them in through images, emotions, sensations, insights, and awareness.

You're working from a lower vibration, my friends. You're coming down toward the gravitational pull of the here and now, which is a much more grounded experience than leaving your body and moving into something heightened.

Your job is to live in your body. And because living in your body is complex, it's full of all kinds of things that many people don't want to face. But as actors, you need to be able to fall in love with them.

Really, acting is a compassion practice. It's a practice of empathy and compassion, so that when I'm working with my character, I have empathetic resonance.

The compassion part is my ability to hold everything and say yes—just as we did last week—to whatever comes up.

Yes to rage. Yes to anger. Yes to jealousy. Yes to excitement.

Yes, yes, yes.

I'm going to use it. I'm going to use it. I'm going to use it.

If you want to expand and deepen your acting process and bring more diversity, nuance and complexity to your performance. DM to get started. We have got some exciting opportunities coming up this Fall!
