Something Starts to Move

A short note on movement, pattern-breaking, and returning to the body

You don’t need more self-reflection. You need a different vantage point.

One where your habitual patterns come into question. One where the story you’ve been telling yourself about who you are collapses under its own weight.

For me, the enquiry of BodyMind Maturation gives me a different place to stand, and so does Chi Kung.

Not because I “understand myself” better after practicing, but because something softens. Something quietens. And something else—older, wilder, more alive—starts to move.

I’m not trying to fix or find myself. I’m just in relationship with what’s true in this moment. We are all the seasons under the sun, but the human mind has a way of resisting that ephemeral being. Intentional somatic practice returns us to flow.

If you want to experience this for yourself, my Chi Kung classes are open and I’m teaching online once a month on Saturday mornings 9.00am UK Time. Next one will be this Saturday 5th April.

The Chi Kung I offer is elemental, seasonal, and internal. It’s not about mastering postures—it’s about returning to relationship: with your body, your breath, and the shifting landscape within. The practice of doing less.

And in that less, something vital returns.
