Body. Breath. Food. Presence.
I believe that movement is a pathway in.
In moving your body, you begin to notice how you breathe (or don’t).
Are your breaths short and shallow, or do you go deep into your belly?
Do you get short of breath? Get side aches? Ever notice that you “forget” to breathe?
In moving your body, you begin to notice how your food fuels you.
Does it make you feel heavy? Or light, and powerful?
Does it make you want to push further, go faster? Or lie on the couch?
In moving your body, you begin to notice the thoughts that you bring.
Your presence.
Are you “in” it when you’re moving, or is your mind a million miles away?
Do you give in to that voice that begs you to stop?
Do you believe the one that tells you you’re not good enough, you’ll never make it?
Can you meet the resistance with the power of your mind, body and movement?
Movement is a pathway in.
Go deep.
Move more, not less.
