Health is not a state to be achieved and maintained-the model of homeostasis; it is a distinctly creative quality of interrelatedness.” P. 42   Solution-Based Relationships: HERSHOCK: “It means keen attunement to the dramatic forces shaping both present and historical situational dynamics. “Going Crosswise” means breaking sufficiently with the patterns of value-intention-action that have occasioned present realities to improvise relational changes that will resolve the suffering and trouble entailed by these realities. It is going skillfully and deeply enough against the dramatic grain of troubled and troubling situations to effectively consolidate shared commitments for actively revising what they will come to mean.” p. 10   HERSHOCK Colonization of Consciousness:   “Through the consumption of mass media (as well as other commodities), attention is systematically exported out of our immediate situation. This compromises relational depth and quality, effectively eroding presently obtaining patterns of mutual support and contribution, and triggers further and still more extensive commodity consumption. As this recursive process intensifies beyond the point at which all major subsistence needs have been commoditized, consciousness itself is effectively colonized. The relational capabilities of both persons and communities atrophy, situational diversity is converted into circumstantial variety, and the very resources needed to meaningfully respond to and resolve our suffering or troubles are systematically depleted.” Hershock   “Allostasis refers to the process of maintaining stability in the course of responding to challenge and reflects an understanding of health as a capacity for adaptation. Allostatic load consists of the cumulative somatic and psychic burden of repeatedly responding to challenge. This includes not only the total effects of chronic stress but also the genetic, developmental, and environmental factors that condition the effectiveness of adaptive responses to challenge. A rapidly growing body of medical research now confirms the extent to which the capacity for adaptation is conditioned by the interdependence of experience mediated by the CNS, the endocrine system, and the immune system.” pg 42      Hershock   “Allostasis refers to the process of maintaining stability in the course of responding to challenge and reflects an understanding of health as a capacity for adaptation.

Somatic Leadership Lets us assume that the Western Psyche is maturing into a perspective of interdependence. This interdependence is seen in multiple dynamic contexts from the personal to the communal. Change within this maturing perspective needs a new form of leadership with a very different orientation marked by ones ability to feel, see, and relate to how the personal and the communal are woven and thus participate with this present time dynamic in such a way as to foster this very orientation and awareness in others. This begins through Leadership practices that illuminate our own personal values-intentions-actions and how these are embodied actions that are either in line with the communal or in discord with the communal. Through Somatic Leadership processes we discover and practice present time dynamics that create and generate our mutual interdependent experience of reality. Thoughts?
