The Power of Doing Nothing: Today's Lesson in Sacred Resistance

Today's embodiment class explored something counterintuitive: the art of doing nothing. We discovered how creating space between thoughts and emotions allows deeper wisdom to emerge.

Key moments from the session:

  • Beautiful discussion about the layers of our being - from physical body to what Carolina calls the "golden egg" of pure consciousness
  • Powerful shares about sitting with resistance instead of rushing to distraction
  • Deep breathing practices to create space between thoughts and emotional reactions
  • Visualization work with golden light and energy moving through different layers

My favorite quote from Carolina:

"We don't know how to do nothing. The invitation for the next 45 minutes is nothing. And you'll see. It could be painful."

The movement practice helped integrate this wisdom through:

  • Extremely slow, mindful breathing
  • Connection with hands and feet energy centers
  • Golden egg visualization
  • Physical resistance release work
  • Creating space between stimulus and response

We explored how true transformation happens not by "doing" spirituality but by allowing our natural essence to emerge when we stop resisting what is.

P.S. Want to join us live next time? We meet every Tuesday at 8:30am eastern for Sacred Growth Club members. These embodiment sessions are a powerful way to practice being present with what is.
