Moving Like Water

How would it feel to move like water? What sharp edges of our beings might soften if we allowed ourselves to shift and slip and swirl in soft and liquid ways? What might loosen, what might fall away, and what might emerge out of such a way of being in the world? My hunch is that our bodies and our minds might grow softer, easier, freer.In this 25-minute guided practice, we’ll stay close to the ground and invite the body to unravel and stretch in gentle, fluid ways. We’ll let this liquid movement erode our harsher edges, leaving us softer and calmer. And perhaps we’ll re-emerge feeling restored and rinsed clean.Water yields instead of fights. Water shape-shifts in ways that accommodate boundaries and barriers. Water ebbs and flows without resistance or complaint. Water responds to the world around it, never insisting that life be anything other than what it is. Its fluidity allows it to accommodate the truth of each moment. And its yielding nature is a source of deep strength. What a good teacher and a good friend! Get full access to At Home in the World at claudiacummins.substack.com/subscribe
