Stop And Be Still
For some, movement is needed in order to help release mental and emotional stresses. Others find it easier to be quieter and more contemplative. Then there are some that need to feel challenged and confronted. I like Yin because it is the right combination of all of these things.
Holding postures is surprisingly challenging; not only does it bloody hurt as tensions are released, emotional and energetic blockages cleared, and fascia is stretched, but being still in an unstill world isn’t easy. We will curse and we will shake and we will tremble, and then it’s over and life moves on.
The more I explore Yin, the more value I see in it. We live in such a fast-paced world where we are taught young to strive and achieve and drive our dreams home. No one ever mentions that perhaps sometimes it pays to stop and be still, that with stillness we can go deep within.
I think it could just be the perfect remedy for a 21st century lifestyle.
