"Now for me the growing into all of who I am as a person in
the company of others is the hard work. Plus other
realization. Because I tend to be hyper-vigilant,
somewhat paranoid at times, and not too spontaneous around
others. A lot more relaxing needs to happen for me. And it's
hard because it takes trust, and it really takes daring
for me."

Sounds like you're describing me.

Music, wordless, also works for me.

Up or wakingite (or, actually: HERE) is perhaps done by
(goal-less) meditation, for a minute or so anytime we're
not doing downerite or mutualite. This cessation of (or
just noticing) activity (or movement of any kind), if I'm
not using "it" as an escape from down(as has been my main
propensity) or from mutual (as has been my secondary
propensity) can also be a quiet place from which I can now
allow myself to flow into, ooze into, seep into, to feel my
pain. Being with others (in Mutuality, or with anyone) is
allowing myself to become evermore sensitive to their pain
and not (subconsciously) recoiling from this pain.

And where's my second birth, dammit!
