Flowing Like Water

This meditation is based on the beautiful quote by Lao Tzu: "Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. What is soft is strong."

In this practice, we bring our attention inward and meditate on how we can embody the properties of water.

Beautiful meditation that helped ease my mind and body from stress I was holding on to. Thank you 🙏

A great meditation to concentrate your breathing and listen to your inner voice

My takeaway: Listen to more Lao Tsu. Summon the breath to wash over blockages. Adaptability is strength. This metaphor helps me use my breath to relax more effectively than "breath into your tightness" or "direct your breath to your toes." This is one of my favorite meditations and I will return to it.

This guided meditation allowed me to reflect on and embrace the gentle power of water. That I often turn to fixed and grounded rules and methods to build a spiritual foundation. While this has its place, the daily and yielding nature of water has a fluid power that is just as reliable, if not more powerful. I loved how it was grounded in Chinese Taoist readings. Will come back to this one again!

My intention for the day is to be fluid, soft, and yielding and evaluate my success at the end of the day.
