Up: [[Pay Attention MOC]] Created: 2024-11-11 Updated: 2026-03-02 [[Ground - An Allegorical Painting Story]] is the art experience that, in combination with Kathleen Wiley’s class on the body in individuation, led to the development of this curriculum. Kathleen has six themes in her [curriculum](https://www.innerdivinespirit.com/online-sacred-circles). In her in-depth courses, she spends a month on each theme. I haven’t taken the courses so don’t know what’s in them. I’m simply using her six headings as my table of contents and populating them with activities I find from other resources. There's lots more to come. My intention is to have this Ground Curriculum fully populated by late March 2026. Update: [[2026-01-24]] I’m adding a seventh theme to this curriculum, inserting it between Body Awareness and Relaxation. The new theme is Eugene Gendlin’s practice of felt sense and focusing. Update: [[2026-03-02]] One of Hestia’s qualities is that she is [[Calm, Clear, Well-Possessed]]. This is my value of [[Inner Harmony]] and my desired feeling of Ease - a relaxed and accepting trust in myself and my body. As values and desired feelings go, these are first among equals yet they continue to be the most difficult for me to practice. I’m adding this general note — [[Ways to Act from a Place of Stillness]] — so I don’t always need to go looking through the full curriculum. > [!map] [[Body Awareness]] of physical sensations/feelings and emotions in your body > [!map] [[Gendlin Focusing]] > both body awareness and problem-solving > [!map] [[Relaxation]] > release of muscle tension and stress > [!map] [[Breathing]] > calming your mind and directing your energy > [!map] [[Mind Awareness]] > noticing, witnessing, mindfulness > [!map] [[Concentration]] > meditation, mantras > [!map] [[Difficult Times]] > working with challenging situations
