Lift Weights

Lift Weights

Sometimes you've just got to push something heavy around– so that it doesn't stay inside of you. This becomes a restorative practice through mindful awareness.

Particularly when we are mobilized, when our systems have gone sympathetic, lifting weights gives us the opportunity to channel that energy into something constructive. Lifting weights becomes a restorative practice when we do it with attention, and when we bring awareness to breath. Sometimes, yes, we need to blow off steam. But uniting intention, awareness, breath, and body in the building of strength, the building of force, makes this something deeper and more profound. There is a meditative quality we can enter into lifting.
