we needs tools to ground in the body while we dismantle unconscious drives

this is the somatic foundation for embodied self-inquiry.
as_hu is not a generic program;
it is a bespoke Sādhana—a daily practice built for the unique architecture of “your” nervous system.

rooted in the ancient sciences of yoga and ayurveda,
these classical tools are contemporized and applied to a single hardware: “yours”.

01. purification

  • is the removal of physical and mental debris—metabolic waste, stagnant energy, and cognitive fog—through specific physiological hygiene and lifestyle shifts. this is not a moral or religious cleansing; it is the clearing of biological "noise" that obscures perception.

    • the intention to clarify the lens of the organism so the "flicker" of the film strip becomes visible.

02. energetic locks (bandhas & mudras)

  • specific physical engagements and gestures used to direct the flow of internal energy ($prāṇa$) and stabilize the core of the organism.

    • the intention is to prevent the leakage of energy into the "frantic renovation" and return it to the presence of being.

03. breath control (prāṇāyāma)

  • intentional regulation of the respiratory rhythm to influence the autonomic nervous system. this is the "manual override" for the body’s threat-detection software.

    • the intention is to move the nervous system out of "bracing" and into a state of physiological safety.

04. sense withdrawal (pratyāhāra)

  • the practice of decoupling the attention from external social triggers and environmental "hooks" to anchor awareness in the internal field.

    • the intention is to unplug the interface from the external world and witness the screen of awareness.

05. meditation

  • the cultivation of non-reactive observation and stillness. this is the practice of sitting as the screen while the "moving image" of thought continues to play.

    • the intention is to build the capacity to witness the "drama" without identifying as the character.

06. somatic practices

  • neuro-physiological tools used to release chronic muscular bracing and "shackles" held in the tissue. this is where the biological "grip" of the “i” story is physically loosened.

    • the intention is to decouple the narrative of the "self" from the physical contraction of the body.

07. nutrition

  • the alignment of fuel intake with ayurvedic principles, constitutions, seasonal availability, and digestive rhythms

    • the intention is to stabilize the biological baseline and eliminate the agitation caused by metabolic instability.

08. self-study (svādhyāya)

  • the systematic inquiry into the “i” interface through journaling, reflection, and the study of non-dual tantric shaiva philosophy.

    • the intention is to map the specific "relational technologies" and "static frames" that comprise “your” individual identity frame.

09. ritual

  • the design of daily and seasonal rhythms—intentional structures for rest, movement, and relationship that bypass the "manager" mind.

    • the intention is to anchor the expansive field into the mundane movements of the day-to-day.


the bespoke application

i work with you to identify which of these protocols are currently required to stabilize your system. we then weave them into a single, cohesive practice.

regardless of how far you dive into unlearning, an increase in nervous system literacy has a lasting impact on how one experiences experience :)
