Make Peace With Stillness
If you find it challenging to sit still, intentional movement might be just what you need to rest and find balance.
The limitations we have experienced as the result of the past few years have forced us into longer periods of stillness than most of us have ever been accustomed to. While many have welcomed the stillness, others have found it challenging.
Aversion to stillness isn’t just related to the stress of the pandemic. Some of us experience the challenges of being still when we are on our yoga mat. If you’re naturally drawn to the intensity and heat of a fast-paced, active practice, you may find it challenging to slow down and connect to the stillness within the flow. Do you have a hard time experiencing the quiet power of final rest?Do you avoid meditation because quieting the mind seems difficult or even impossible? You may find that it is helpful to prepare for stillness with gentle, intentional movement.
Yes, you can find stillness even in an active practice—and it brings balance and allows the body, mind, and spirit an opportunity to rest. During this week I recommend that you take time before undertaking your classes.
Namaste
