The path is one to be walked, to be felt and keep embodying

“The path is one to be walked, to be felt, and keep embodying
Let go of the past, let go of the future, let go of the present, and keep going!"

~ Boaz Feldman @bfsimple

What does it mean to be affected? If you are in fight, flight or freeze, it is challenging to be affected. You shut down, shield, your breath goes shallow, you feel numb. Can you allow your body to orient like an animal or a child? Can you invite your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your hands to explore their environment. Receiving the world through the senses. We have to create this space, this canvas and weave it from the fibres of our being in relationship to the greater canvas of our environment and the people in it. It's about being in this alive, alert place and then story pours into it. Can you feel what is already there? Be the human being not the human doing.
