MOVEMENT   - We live in a world of movement.   What we commonly call a “body” is movement that has stabilized in order to function in a particular environment, in our case…Planet Earth.  Science tells us that we are a world of movement, that we are moving and changing all the time.  Even objects that we think of as static, like rocks and mountains are all “moving” with various rhythms & frequencies. 

 The conventional notion of movement is that it is something that turns on and off.  It is usually thought of as a specific activity like walking or reaching for an object.  When we stop these activities, we are “still”, “not moving”.  We make a distinction between what we call functional movement, which implies a “body”, and biological  movement in which the body is not a designated object and does not maintain a specific form.   In this, we can say that “movement is what we are, rather than something we do.”   Emilie Conrad

Movement has many aspects, for example:  the movement of thought, the movement of sensation, the movement of language, the movement of imagination, and  the movement of emotions.  In movement, there is no time, no past, present or future, no separation between body, mind, or spirit, nor is there a fixed shape or form   We take on different forms and then the forms dissolve into the stream of life, to be reformed in different configurations.  There is a movement between the richness of our inner life and our outer life where we engage with all that is.
