Mindmapping of Answers to the ATM

 
Note Specific Questions were asked during the ATM. Each practitioner received a question sheet and an answer sheet. Each answers the question for him- or herself, wrote the answer on the smaller sheet, “What perception or observation stimulated by these questions particularly drew your attention?”. The answers were grouped but not headlined as the plenum came with several different options how to do this.
 

     
 
 
 
 		 That I can do more or differently than what is asked in addition or substitution to what it proposed! Do this movement good for you?
Are you bored?
(great guests to ask)		 How you perceive yourself – visually or kinaesthetically  
 
 
 
 		     The clarity of the question and of the direction I liked the question – are you bored; if so, how do you know it?
Gives people who are habitually "bored" since childhood, in school, etc., a chance to acknowledge or claim that. I wasn't "bored". Just liked the question.		 How I perceived myself
visually
sensing		 Effect of foreign speaking teacher on meaning of movement proposals + questions.
(having spent time in Switzerland)
The movement of sternum.
 
 
 		 How taking the arm to the ceiling or to right side moves everything in me. Not as the felt. Why was I so easily holding my breath to lift my leg while both legs long
How /why was I using head against the floor to help lift my leg		 The question about would you like this ATM to go another direction –
I was surprised because I was in an open space to be guided with expectation, but I know other times
I am not+ I wonder what my students would answer		 I reflected on how uncomfortable I am when I do get bored. I note my contact on the floor kinaesthetically from within myself Where's your attention? Did you drift off? If so, where did you go?
The physical act of lifting –
my limbs degree of weight
 
 
 		 The sensation of lifting the shoulder in the 45° direction toward the left hip and the last time to feel my head turning to the right Why do I have a habit of always breathing in as I start a movement?   The connection between B…… wondering Thoughts Initial irritation to self-reflect seemed out of place, unfamiliar.
Each successive one was also unfamiliar, but less so.		  
The relationship between two sides of the body.
 
 
 		 The movement of the spine or the beginning versus after a number of movements     From where do you perceive yourself? Different modes of perception.  
 
 
 
 		       I was interested in how I was perceiving myself as I was lying on the floor.
It seemed like a combination of visual + kinaesthetic		 Whether I senses myself visually, kinaesthetically or by the way the floor held me up.
