Completely still
Share
Try sitting completely still for a minute.
You may be surprised how much wants to move.
In yoga, holding the body still is a practice of its own, called Kaya Sthairyam.
Some people find that if they just watch the urge to move, it fades, and a deeper stillness settles in.
How much of you wants to move?
What you'll need
- A comfortable place to sit
- A few minutes you won't be disturbed
Method
Settle into a comfortable seat, then let the body go completely still.
When an itch or an urge to shift comes, just watch it, without moving.
Let it pass, and stay with the stillness.
Sit like this for a few minutes a day for a week, and notice how long the stillness holds, and whether it comes easier as the days go on.
