A practice enables us to feel into what it’s like to stop: to behold our experience, to absorb what life-affirming beauty there is to receive. It doesn’t negate the suffering, but it can make the pain more bearable and workable. There are many infinite beautiful things.

Rumination doesn’t get solved with more rumination. Instead, we must return to the body and its senses: touching, smelling, seeing, tasting, listening. Yoga helps us to tune into the sensory experience so that we can settle into our skin and remember that we are just creatures, after all.

When there’s a lot of chaos and negativity, it makes sense to want to turn away, to fuzz it out. This can be okay, as long as we don’t get stuck in the habit. Building walls might keep the rain out, but we also won’t get to bask in the sunshine. Resilience isn’t just about tolerating discomfort, it’s also about increasing one’s tolerance for pleasure, pride, and peace. To interrupt the habit of undercutting joy.

Practice can be a place where we we plant seeds of joy and connection. It can be as small as taking an extra five minutes for savasana. Little things add up; a forest is made from millions of little seeds.

Pain is an inevitable part of the lived experience. While we can’t choose pain, we can choose how we are with the pain. Resmaa Manakem (author and founder of somatic abolitionism) puts it this way: “dirty pain” is the pain of avoidance, blame, and denial; whereas “clean pain” still hurts, it builds your capacity for growth. It fosters presence, vulnerability, and acceptance. It can be generative.

Practice can be a place where we slow down to be with what is: whether it’s pain, joy, or a confusing mixture of both. We learn how to be with what is in ways that can be nourishing and growth-oriented.
