Non - doing

I took an intentional few days break from the morning sitting practice of non-doing, and today I began again. I was very fortunate to be introduced to this discipline nearly 6 years ago.

I noticed an immediate improvement in my use after completing the exercise, my movement became lighter and more attentive and coordinated.

Just before I began to do nothing though, I noticed the rush to leave the house in order to make it to the appointment with the doctor. I reminded myself that how we get to our destination is as important as reaching this destination itself.

Speaking about non-doing, today I attempted to introduce it at the beginning of various activities, and with different success, although the idea of the success and 'getting it' just seems to be subtler and more difficult to identify form of end gaining.
