FINDING STILLNESS IN A WORLD OF CONSTANT MOTION
How do we ground in a World that is in Constant Motion? The world in which we live in often feels like we are on a merry-go-round; going round and round with no stopping in sight. A world, a society, often a personal life of constant motion. Living in a world of constant motion we are often forced to learn how to weather the storms. How we weather them is often determined by our state of mind & body. If unbalanced we find ourselves in a fight or flight frame of mind; juggling one challenge after the other. If balanced in mind & body we can weather the challenges in life; we can face this world of motion.
Opening is our time to ground ourselves. Whether we are lying in constructive rest or sitting on a bolster or blanket, it as a time to put aside that which is not serving us and bring in that which brings a sense of calm; a sense of grounding to our bodies and minds. Our inhale, is, "easy and effortless," and when we exhale we, "ride the breath all the way out & pause."
To go slow and smooth with our breath and, as we do, our bodies become grounded as the tension and chaos we bring with us to the mat gives way to cool and calm.
