SUMMARY
The talk opens with posture: sit upright, drop the shoulders, and be still. Attention is first drawn to the 'screen' behind the eyebrows, where grainy images and worries live. Rather than engaging with them, let it all melt down. The descent continues through the chest towards the stomach—the solar plexus—where feeling replaces thought and the body absorbs experience without mind being involved. At the centre, a steady pulse can be felt. Barry calls the solar plexus the sun of the body's solar system. From here radiates wellbeing, passion, and the capacity for love without effort. He distinguishes instruments and source: the genitals express; the solar plexus inspires. Emotion, attachment, and sex turn lovemaking into pain and brute force. Clear passion from the solar plexus brings devotion and fulfilment. Practice is to keep returning to the centre and not be distracted by the feelings around it.
