Stillness is not stagnation.

There's movement in stillness.

A current,

A flow.

Sit quietly,

Close your eyes,

Focus within and you'll feel it.

A gentle movement.

Beating of your heart as it pumps blood through your veins.

A soft surrendered sway of your tummy in harmony with your lungs,

Your breath.

And as you get stiller,

A buzzing of energy.

The serotonin coursing through you.

Perhaps,

A connection,

An awareness of the divine oneness.

A forever transforming emptiness.

Alone,

Alone,

All one.

There's movement in stillness.

But there's stillness in movement too.

Movement is our way to stillness.

Not the everyday hustly movement.

No.

Not the flapping,

Struggling movement of our minds.

No.

Stillness hides in slow,

Intentional,

Physical movement.

The surrendered sway of our bodies.

Not for fitness or exercise.

But movement for the sake of movement.

No agenda,

No goal.

You don't have to be a dancer to be graceful.

The grace comes with the ease.

Sway from side to side,

Right where you sit.

Or stand if you like.

Sneak and wave and curve your arms,

Your hands,

Your torso and back.

Watch yourself moving from within.

Eyes closed,

But mind's eye observing.

Allow yourself to be in tune with the silent music of pure cosmic consciousness.

One with the divine.

Watch as stillness settles within your being.

As you move without,

You pause within.

What a beautiful gift to give yourself.

Tapping into this celestial harmony of stillness and movement,

Movement and stillness.

Breathing,

Flowing,

Settling.

You see,

Stillness is not stagnation.

Stillness is magic,

Connection and expansion.
