I was asked by a professor of psychiatry once if I ever experienced depression. I answered ‘not to the best of my knowledge/experience’.
He replied simply: ‘of course not. You move too much….’
I tell all people I meet but especially those battling depression, loss of meaning and similar states: MORE NON-VERBAL EXPERIENCES DAILY is what the doc prescribes and movement is the best medium.
All roads will eventually lead back to the unspoken thing(s)we corrupt with our words.The path there passes through the body, movement, stillness. It has long been understood by some spiritual paths, processes, methods, religions and various systems but knowing is not enough, cause that is achieved through the same problematic medium we wish to avoid.
You must EXPERIENCE – through the practicum.
You are a breath of fresh air for me , keep being.
Find the movement in stillness. If the external environment is off limits, then you must go inside. The movement of the blood, the silent being that represents itself in consciousness. The energy of the body, the root of thought and emotion. There is an endless field that exists in meditation. There is a place for movement there, as well.
