Meditation with Ashley Brown

40. The Misconception of Stillness - Insight #20

Listen Later

In this episode Ash explores one of the biggest myths or misconceptions in meditation. This is the idea that you must remain perfectly still the entire time. 

 

In this episode I cover:

  • The common misconception
  • Where the “sit perfectly still” myth came from
  • Practises that life affirming 
  • Why you’re not bound to the first position you choose
  • How pain contracts body-mind-energy
  • How mindful movements/adjustments create expansion
  • The difference between fidgeting and intentional, mindful movement

    • • Movement that doesn’t compromise the integrity of presence

    • How comfort in the body supports deeper awareness

    • Stillness as a tool for discernment, not a trap

    • Simple ways to free yourself from feeling stuck

      •  

      By the end, hopefully you’ll see that moving mindfully within stillness doesn’t compromise meditation, but makes the experience richer and more sustainable.

       

      After all, if we can’t move mindfully in the quiet, serenity of a seated meditation practice… What chance to we have in the heart of daily life?
