Tai Chi Wisdom - Movement in Stillness - Stillness in Movement

Sometimes when I am asked the title of my book, Pathways to Stillness, the response is “oh, I cannot sit still for a moment. What do you mean by stillness”?

 My answer is that stillness is not found only in “cross-legged immobility”. Stillness is about finding a situation or place that brings you to the present moment. In that space, anxiety and fear— which are located in the past and future— simply disappear.
​Your pathway could be intense mountain-biking, swimming, playing a musical instrument, or many other activities. 

Whether you are sitting still in nature or moving fast, the idea is remain in your quiet centre. In Tai Chi they say—move fast but do not rush!   Click to read more in my book.
