This is the deeper meaning I find in the modern health guideline that recommends adults do “muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity involving all major muscle groups on two or more days a week.” The phrase sounds clinical, but what it’s really describing is how we maintain the integrity of the waters that hold us up — how we keep life moving through us.
To open a narrative that has become too tight requires techniques, practices… rituals, even. Sometimes you even throw it in the fire. For us, the unstitching part takes the techniques we know to erase the tracks of time, to aerate what has become sedimented, and to cast on new stitches.
A practice is a ritualized commitment to personal health and longevity. Through a combination of regular, self-directed, and communal practice, we learn how to organize our time, attention, and energy—finding freedom through structure, and clarity through consistency. Over time, the body’s intelligence reshapes both our physiology and psychology.
