Growing up gay in a religious household, I learnt early on to suppress my impulses. Within my practice I fight this mechanism. I lean back and let it happen. Switch off my thoughts and let the work emerge in a 'stream of consciousness. This prevents me from suppressing impulses and allows me to fall back on intuition.
