Ask the question, do you like an element, do you live in that element most of the time, or does it make you feel uncomfortable? Do you find situations or people in your life who express this
element for you, so you don’t have to do it, and then are mad at them because of it? Start looking at your relationships, your careers, the places you live in in relation to these elements.
The goal of these element exercises is to help you to become more flexible, so you can flow from one element to another. They are movement metaphors to help you experience the qualities of the elements so you can adapt and change and become flexible in your daily life.
Living life with ease is increases your Well-Being. Balance is achieved in moments of Stillpoint, when everything is suspended, like a kite in the wind, and joy fills the space. Mobility and flexibility is your birthright.

Finding the Still point
In this exercise, two people hold the end of the scarf and lift it up in the air to catch the wind beneath it. It floats up to its highest point and stops. This is called a Still point.
This exercise is a moving meditation exercise which allows you to experience and practice the moment of a still point.
A still point is a moment out of time, when you can make everything change. Everything reorganizes itself around the stillness.
There is much opportunity for growth and change in this moment. It is brief moment out of time where everything can re pattern itself.
