The Power of Doing Nothing: Today's Lesson in Sacred Resistance
Embodied Movement Class, November 12th, 2024
Today's embodiment class explored something counterintuitive: the art of doing nothing. We discovered how creating space between thoughts and emotions allows deeper wisdom to emerge.
Key moments from the session:
Beautiful discussion about the layers of our being - from physical body to what Carolina calls the "golden egg" of pure consciousness
Powerful shares about sitting with resistance instead of rushing to distraction
Deep breathing practices to create space between thoughts and emotional reactions
Visualization work with golden light and energy moving through different layers
My favorite quote from Carolina:
"We don't know how to do nothing. The invitation for the next 45 minutes is nothing. And you'll see. It could be painful."
The movement practice helped integrate this wisdom through:
Extremely slow, mindful breathing
Connection with hands and feet energy centers
Golden egg visualization
Physical resistance release work
Creating space between stimulus and response
We explored how true transformation happens not by "doing" spirituality but by allowing our natural essence to emerge when we stop resisting what is.
