Stability

The ability to bend without losing the root. An inner center that holds.

Stability is not rigidity. It is the ability to bend without losing the root. An inner center holds a person even where outer support has disappeared.

Short

  • «I rest on my center as a tree rests on its trunk.»
  • «I find ground beneath me and within me.»
  • «I am stable amid external fluctuations.»
  • «I do not lose myself in someone else's tempo.»
  • «Stability is my quiet strength.»

One minute

I place my feet on the floor and feel the support. I imagine my breath flowing downward, to my legs, to the ground. I find a point inside me that does not sway, even when the world has swayed. I allow circumstances to be in motion while remaining myself. I am not obliged to react to every sound, every message, every opinion. I choose movements from stability, not from busyness. My "no" is calm. My "yes" is conscious. Today I lean on stability as on my adult ground.

Contemplation

Stability is not rigidity. It is the ability to bend without losing the root. An inner center holds a person even in situations where outer support has disappeared.
