Balancing the bowl

The video

This is a good one, well worth the watch, and maybe even a few repeat watches if you have the inclination and time, as the content to which you’ll submit yourself to is fundamental to really understanding flow. Which is to say that it offers great insights into softness, or rather a method of practicing the key to softness, which is discovering balance.

The balance offered here has already been explored in principle during the essay earlier in the week, wherein the written instructions were serviceable and perfunctory, whereas the accompanying audio was a right rampage from my many years of direct experience inside practice.

The result for the brave few who took the time to venture through, was hopefully one which left you more intrigued to do than drawn to think on it, as it was my unspoken intention to encourage discovery.

Here, I will encourage you to take yourself “off camera” into places where you discover that point you’re no longer in control, as here we find the invitation to be in control of not controlling yourself! This is the opposite of what we explored last week where we used our hands as the single point of focus during the routine. Now the single point of focus is noticing how focus has to remain constant inside the ever shifting distribution of weight, and if we are too rigid in this, we fall over!

May you find something in this on your first watch, and then maybe more on your second, because it’s all there for the taking.

Until next time, bye for now.
