Where It Lives
Find where it lives. Give it a song.
With Megwyn White · Founder, Haptic Body
A Magpie Guide for ChatGPT or Claude, shaped by Megwyn White's somatic work and three experiments: Pressure, Rhythm and Weight. Bring what you notice in your body and the music you love. Leave with a song shaped by your map, or a Suno prompt to make it, and a Body Journal that grows with you.

First contact
01Tell it how you listen
Share the music you already love and whether you listen with headphones, speakers or a vibroacoustic vest. Your Body Journal begins here.
02Make your first map
Notice where you feel present in your body, where the map fades, and which sense comes most easily to you.
Return anytime
Map it into a song
Find where a feeling lives, describe it in your own body words, write a few honest lines, and name what you're ready to embody. The Guide shapes it into a song with Suno right in the conversation if connected, or gives you a prompt to paste into Suno yourself.
Make a Monthly Return
Once a month, look back at the places you've mapped, the words you've written, the songs you've made, and what shifted, stayed or became clearer.
The idea
The place that knows before words
Maybe the map fades at the back of your neck and shoulders.
Maybe your hands get clumsy when a text lands.
Maybe gentle downward pressure is the only thing that lets your feet come back into focus.
A better sentence may be beside the point. You are trying to find the place that knows before your mind has words.
And the music that meets that place might be the music you already love. Loud, layered, rhythmic, bright. The aim isn't to make every feeling quiet. It's to give what you're sensing a sound you can inhabit.
How it works
It opens in the AI you already use
Open Where It Lives in ChatGPT or Claude. The Guide brings Megwyn's method into your conversation and keeps a living Body Journal, so you can return to what you've already noticed rather than starting over.
- 1
Megwyn's method
Body maps, Pressure, Rhythm and Weight, and attention to inner sensation, body position, sound, touch and vibration. The Guide invites you to notice what is actually there, without requiring a particular feeling or outcome.
- 2
A conversation that becomes your song
Choose ChatGPT or Claude. The Guide asks the next question, works with your own language and music preferences, and helps shape what you want to embody. If you've connected Suno, it can make the song right there. If not, it gives you the prompt to use in Suno. You don't need a connection to begin.

Your Body Journal remembers
From your first listening preferences and body map onward, Magpie keeps your places, words, songs and observations in a saved document. Each return adds to it, and your Monthly Return helps you see the month together.
You don't have to perform calm
There's no right sensation to find and no particular emotional destination to reach. You can notice what is present, what changes and what remains unknown. If something feels too big to hold alone, the Guide will encourage you to seek support from a trauma-informed practitioner.
Claude or ChatGPT.
Use whichever one you're used to, and switch at any point without losing your progress.
Example
When the map asks for more room
- 1
A feeling with a location
After a family text, a reader maps shame: hot face, locked jaw, shoulders up, feet almost gone. She writes, "I want to stop swallowing it." She loves loud, layered dance music on speakers and wants to feel bigger, not sweet.
- 2
You can't brace your way back into grace.
After Pressure, she can find her heels again: "down is possible." After Rhythm, her jaw gets louder. Whether motion helps stays unknown, not no. After Weight, her shoulders lower enough for a fuller breath. The map has begun to change, but not in a straight line. What gets louder matters as much as what grows quieter.
- 3
From swallowing words to taking up space
The next move is a song that starts where she actually is: jaw tension, heat in her face, the words she's been swallowing. It keeps her taste for loud, layered dance music and a low end she can feel. Then it moves toward what she wants to embody: taking up space, using her voice, feeling her feet beneath her. Her own words help shape the song. With Suno connected, the Guide can make it in the conversation. Without that connection, she gets the prompt to make it in Suno herself.
- 4
No soft forgiveness chorus
Her map is asking for ground and room first, not a tidy resolution. The song doesn't have to turn shame into sweetness or make her feel something she hasn't reached. It can begin with what is here and move toward the space she's ready to inhabit.
What you keep
A journal for when the map moves
Your music doesn't have to make you quieter. It can help you inhabit more of what is already yours.
Your
Body Journal
- Places on your map: Where heat, grip, numbness, pressure, blankness or distance appears, and where you feel more present.
- Your own language: The exact body words and lines that arrive before you polish them into an explanation.
- Songs and prompts: The songs you make through a connected Suno experience or directly in Suno from the Guide's prompts, and the body maps and intentions behind them.
- After-listening notes: What shifted, stayed, got louder, got clearer or remained unknown when you listened.
- Monthly Returns: A way to revisit your places, words, songs and shifts together, noticing how your map and what you want to embody may be changing.
