Down the rabbit hole
A wise teacher once sent me away to ponder the famous proverb;
"There is stillness in movement and movement in stillness".
My life has been all about movement. Sport, gym, activity. The realization of how important movement is to me and the focus, almost a meditative state I can achieve with the utter joy in each and every moment. Experiencing success in many sporting arenas from Tennis, basketball, snooker, bodybuilding just to name a few competitive chapters built my passion for moving.
Where do you go when you move? There is only this moment. If you can be totally present with yourself in any movement from walking, to running, to climbing, wrestling, weightlifting, or just play, then that focus can be a stillness that creates what you may call the euphoric high that opens communication to a deeper connection with an amazing multi-dimensional body, and a link to your optimal potential. Doing what you were made to do!
Then I stop. The body rests. The animal can stop hunting. The thinker is now awake!
The movement of creative juices, the mix of every idea that ever existed to me comes to life. A face, a song, a discussion, a book, a lecture, a television program. I get to choose my thought path. A thought has a body to it. That body is now attached to my values, my life mission, my love for giving service to people.
This is the start of my blogs to lay down weekly thoughts that are a collective of 20+ years of teaching, discussions, experience and a way to give service and produce a positive movement culture - Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually.
