The dynamics of standing still • Peter den Dekker • EAP052

In our electronically enhanced speed of silicon world we are easily lured into believing that faster is better, and motion is more productive than stillness. 

But, think of the cat crouched and ready to pounce, the coiled snake still with a spring load of potential, or the sprinter settled into her blocks. Indeed explosive movement can arise from a dynamic stillness. 

In today's episode we explore the dynamics of standing still. How settling into our physiology allows antagonistic muscle pairs to unwind the habits of tension and imbalance. How our breathing can naturally fall into a deep full body respiration.

And how everyday we can practice stillness through seemingly mundane activities such as carrying groceries, boiling water, or waiting in line at the bank.
