{Shake up the channels}
Slow is not better than fast.
When we can’t feel because we’re going too fast, we slow down. Stagnation in the body, energy, and mind means shake the channels. Speed up. Life is a rhythm, a pulse, a wave, an undulation. It’s round, not linear. Both slow and fast and everything in between have their place. We feel for what is appropriate to the times and our circumstances. Ultimately, we want to remain connected, sensing, adapting, and skillfully improvising at any speed.
