🪑 Sitting is Movement
🪑 My teacher Susan Sinclair recently said something that blew my mind: “Sitting is movement.”
🧠 💥
🪑 I often think of sitting as a static or fixed position. I can allow my coordination to organize and free itself in order to move freely to a seated position - ah! So lovely and free! And then I lock into sitting and forget my whole self! Can you relate to this in any way?
🪑 Susan reminded me that sitting is actually an activity that includes dynamic inner movement, and subtle or larger outer movements (i.e.: when at the piano or computer). Your system is constantly balancing and coordinating itself - you are ALWAYS in movement, even in “positions.”
🪑 Try this experiment (inspired by Susan): move freely for 5 minutes. Move in any way your system craves - just move. Then come to a chair. Sit for 5 minutes. Can you still sense the echo of your outer movement in your body now that you are sitting?
