Manage episode 454964475 series 3621082
In this episode, I share one of my favorite concepts from my years teaching Tai Chi and Qigong: "Stand like a tree, flow like a river." These beautiful metaphors from the Tai Chi tradition hold powerful lessons for how we can find balance in our lives. Whether it’s parenting, work, or relationships, the key is knowing when to stay rooted like a tree and when to adapt and flow like a river. I'll guide you through simple practices to embody this balance and apply it to everyday situations.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How to embody the balance of a tree’s groundedness and a river’s flexibility
- The importance of staying rooted in your values while adapting to life’s changes
- Simple practices like the "Tree River Reset" to find balance in moments of stress
- How to apply tree and river energy to parenting, relationships, and work
- A morning visualization practice to bring balance into your day
