“ I enjoy the softness, the slow pace, the stillness of this practice.

I am also learning how to train, how to expand to then contain in my core and protect my energy. I realize what it means to contain and not waste it, but use it with necessary.”

載營魄抱一，能無離乎？

專氣致柔，能如嬰兒乎？

滌除玄覽，能無疵乎？

愛民治國，能無知乎？

天門開闔，能為雌乎？

明白四達，能無為乎？

生之、畜之，

生而不有，

為而不恃，

長而不宰，

是謂玄德。

《道德經》第十章
