About this workshop

The Divergent Channels are the deepest of the protective systems you’ve met so far. When stress is too much for your reflexive interface to handle, the body can park it in the blood, as you saw in the Connecting Channels. When even that isn’t enough, and something felt too dangerous or unacceptable to be who you really are, the body takes a more drastic step. It bypasses your awareness entirely and shunts the conflict into the bones and joints, what this series calls the Subterranean Vault. In this model, that is repression rather than suppression: you don’t remember filing it away, and you don’t feel it being held.

Because the conflict is held in your structure, it shows up in how you stand, how you move and where you feel stuck in a rut. This workshop teaches you to listen to this deepest level of your constitution with muscle monitoring, and to bring what was put on ice into awareness, so you can work towards reconciling your natural self with your life.

What you'll explore

The twelve Divergent Channels work in six pairs called Confluences. Each pair travels together through the body and carries one shared theme, such as fear of being who you truly are, the anger of a blocked drive, blunted curiosity or rationalisation. What is stored here usually has no story attached. It comes as raw feeling, such as anger with no remembered target or fear with no scene, so the work is more direct than in the earlier workshops.

​

You’ll learn:

• how to find which Divergent Channel is holding a pattern, and which theme it belongs to

• Age Recession, applied here to find when a conflict was first sent into hiding, building on what you’ve practised in Workshops 2 and 3

• a technique for working directly with the survival emotions behind a pattern, helping you identify whether fear, anger, panic or freeze is at the root and settle the body’s alarm response

• further techniques for downloading stress out of hiding, including several that don’t depend on having a story or memory to work with

• the Trinity Correction, applied to the Divergent Channels, so the change can settle into your structure

What you’ll leave with

A way to recognise patterns that live in your body and posture rather than in your thoughts, and the tools to bring them into awareness and work towards reconciling them. This is a skill you practise, not a theory you memorise.
