embodied wisdom and learning

Be wary of yang activities that masquerade as yin 

Are you actually resting, or are you doing vinyasa yoga, hopping in a sauna, eating a cheat meal, or working on a “side project”?

All of these examples can ofc be yin nourishing, but there is a tendency (esp. in American culture) to exert oneself under the guise of rest

i am guilty of this a lot. a lot.

i actually do not internalize what people really mean when they say, "I want to relax" - like what happens physiologically when you relax?

can someone talk me through their experience of relaxing? 

I know i am missing this part of life completely. want to change.

for me, minimizing outside sensory input (with the exception of calming music), breathing exercises + mindfulness

even brief breathing exercises have a measurable impact on the nervous system
