It can be pretty intense working on this kind of thing, and I could easily imagine many practices causing 'unusual patterns' or side-effects from inter-relating in odd ways! Core Transformation certainly sounds interesting (I've followed links of yours before from Precision Change) and is on my 'reserve list' of things to try. The Shaking Medicine sounds a little bit like some of the contemporary dance warm-ups I've done in my time! @Duff – I can certainly understand why you’d only do one or two at a time.

I expect that I may take up DoS again sometime, but I'm currently feeling called to practice two other transformation technologies primarily. The first is called Core Transformation--a way of transforming unwanted feelings and behaviors with a specific formula of appreciation and penetrating inquiry. The second is Bradford Keeney's Shaking Medicine--a practice of ecstatic, spontaneous moving, shaking, speaking, and healing. I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for Dance of Shiva, as wacky as it is. And the more I learn about the nervous system, the more it makes sense how it works. EMDR seems to work in a similar way. <abbr><em>Duff’s last blog post..<a href="http://precisionchange.com/2008/12/03/beat-the-recessionholiday-blues-with-core-transformation/" rel="nofollow">Beat the Recession/Holiday Blues with Core Transformation</a></abbr></em> Hey James,

I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for Dance of Shiva, as wacky as it is. And the more I learn about the nervous system, the more it makes sense how it works. EMDR seems to work in a similar way.

It sounds like you stopped though - what's happening in Duff-land? @Duff: I’m still excited every time someone new says “I’m a shivanaut, too”!

As a fellow dancing geek who made it to level 3 of Dance of Shiva (I love that DoS spells DOS, as in MS-DOS--installing new brain software?), I agree that mind wandering means you aren't doing a level of DoS that's complex enough to challenge you.
