πͺ· βDo you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?β
~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
In a fast-paced world that constantly asks more of your attention, time, and energy, our practice becomes the place where we stop chasing the external and gently return home to ourselves.
In somatic practice, we begin by slowing down. Often, we start in Savasana. Not as an ending, but as an arrival.
Letting the bones settle.
Letting the breath soften.
Letting the muscles melt into support.
Sensing, listening, and feeling into the interior landscape thatβs always been there.
This is where the body begins to speak. Where the nervous system can shift from doing to being. Where clarity arises not from effort, but from allowing.
When we give ourselves permission to pause, the βmudβ of the mind settlesβ¦ and whatβs true has space to surface.
Stillness is not stagnation.
Stillness is a doorway and somatic practice teaches us how to walk through it.
