Transcript

Hi there.

So in the previous segment, Ignition and this segment, we became familiar with the Baseworks concepts of Ignition and Assimilation, and we tried a couple of patterns.

To repeat the key ideas very quickly, the purpose of Ignition is to mark the beginning of a session, to shift the attention to movements, observe one’s current state, release unconscious tension and experience stillness.

And the role of the Assimilation is to mark the end of the session, to stimulate relaxation, speed up HRR, improve HRV, observe one’s current state, and most importantly, to stimulate the consolidation of learning.

And here I’d like to talk about how we use these practices in Baseworks.

It is possible to do these practices on their own when you need a boost of mindfulness or relaxation.

And for example, when our random practice lab features encourages you to repeat a random practice lab, it may suggest an Ignition or an Assimilation.

But because the Ignition and the Assimilation, they affect the process and outcome of a practice session they normally flank.

Ideally, we encourage practicing Baseworks with Ignition and the Assimilation.

However, we also understand that people might have tight schedules or their unique goals.

So on the platform, we offer a choice.

You have an option to do practice sessions without the Ignition and Assimilation and with the Ignition and the Assiimilation.

And we call them Complete sessions with and Open without.

So at the end of this segment, we would like you to experience your first Baseworks practice session.

First we’ll do an Open session without Ignition and Assimilation.

And then on another day, you will perform the same session, but “Complete,” which means that it will have an Ignition and Assimilation.

We really encourage you to do these sessions on two separate days, and if possible, do it twice.

So one day you do the Open one, another day the Complete one, and then Open again, and then Complete again on another day.

And then you can share with us which one you preferred, and also whether you felt the difference during the practice and after you completed the session.

There’s no right or wrong answer here.

It is really an exercise in self-awareness.

So in the next practice lesson, you will complete an Open Baseworks practice session.

Of course, please remember to follow the principles, especially the Intensity Modification.

So nothing should be painful, no forced breathing and so on.

So let’s go.

Let’s try our first Baseworks practice session.
