Despite our separating parts of the body into labels of muscles, bones and organs, ultimately our bodies are one continuum of energy.
A single terrain of many textures, the physicality and sensation of body pours as one continuous lava of sweet nectar. To move any part, is to move the whole.
Movement is life. Our joints benefit from gentle compression, manipulation and massage to encourage synovial fluid which acts like honey between bones. The body feels squishy, fluid and youthful from circular motions, sweeping stretches and repetitive fascial flossing. Unusual movement (as in non-repetitive) acts like a slow savoured drink quenching thirsty joints.
Nectar serves as a reminder to stay soft, even when, especially when, life or situations feel hard. Softening in, leaning in; physically learning to soften at the joints allows the body to feel easeful, so we can more easily sense the slow pour and scatter of elixir.
I’ve had a longterm love affair with movement. I’m addicted to its nectar afterglow and ability to shift me from overthinking to whole body listening.
I’m also constantly reminded that when we were little, movement came from the place of feeling. We wanted to touch something, to experience something. so we reached toward it. Moving toward the people, places and objects we wanted most.
We didn’t just sit inert, expecting these nectar experiences to move toward us. We actively made effort and overcame doubts and struggles.
The simplest, smallest movements can create seismic shifts.
There are moments of sweet elixir in even the most bitter places. We just need to shift our perspective and be prepared to move in all the ways - the familiar and less explored - just keep moving, feeling and breathing it all.
