The Great Dance of Movement and Stillness on your Path to Presence

Stillness meditation is all the rage, isn't it? We sit in quiet stillness and call in the light and peace that is here to answer all of our prayers! But this is only one side of the story! For how can we sit in stillness unless we allow ourselves to move! To move our bodies freely as we move and and awaken the energies within. Today on the Upward Slopes Podcast I share my favorite practice on Planet Earth: One that has everything to do with getting outside (in the forest, on a mountain, in the desert....) and to move my body through this world. Can you guess what comes after the movement?Embodied Living is about learning to be present with self in whatever moment arises. Sometimes, we must move to move that which is too intense or too dormant, moving out and awakening what is being asked to show up for this present moment. Other times, we find stillness, move into quietude and deepen into what is alive here and now.Can we learn the great dance between movement and stillness as we walk through life attuned to that which most serves the fullness of this present moment?Support the showDeepen into our community! Go to forestbody.com to sign up for our Newsletter so that you receive all offerings and are in the loop on exactly what is happening. Join me in Earth Embodiment Circle!
