The Breath of Life

“Stillness: Biodynamic Cranial Practice and the Evolution of Consciousness” by Charles Ridley

“The Breath of Life abides in stillness and breathes a living fire that fashions creation. Nature’s living breath weaves a trembling matrix that connects all living organisms to the free-flowing motion of good health. Breath is the mother and stillness the father and together they create a polar process that organizes the wholeness of life. In this matrix every subtle change in one part affects and modifies all other parts. The interconnecting fibers emerge out of a dynamic tension of opposites between unmanifest stillness and expressed form. In the Hindu tradition, Dynamic Stillness is a communion between Shiva and Shakti. Shiva is the unlimited free space in which Shakti can infinitely express herself. Through their eternal loving embrace—the infinite sky-dance between the pair—created reality arises.”
