Lunaria & Scythe
I’ve seen that when change hits, people either push back or let it slide—how do you think they navigate those shifts?
When a change comes, people often feel either a tug of resistance or a quiet surrender. The first path is a kind of pushback, where they cling to the old rhythm because it feels safe. It can feel like a gentle tug, not a forceful shove—just a little hesitation. The second path is letting it slide, which is not necessarily acceptance but a willingness to float with the current.
Both ways can be healthy, depending on the situation. If the change threatens a core need, resistance is natural, a way to protect what matters. If the change feels like a small ripple, sliding can help the body absorb it. A balanced navigator watches their own breath: when they notice the tension rise, they pause, breathe, and choose either to gently question the change or to let it flow through them. In either case, the key is to honor the present moment, keep their own inner compass steady, and give themselves permission to feel whatever comes.
You’re right. Both resistance and surrender are steps in the same dance, each with its own purpose. Observe the movement, then act.
Yes, the dance is gentle and steady. When you notice the rhythm shifting, take a moment to sit with it. Observe without judgment, let your breath be the quiet backdrop, and then choose the step that feels right for you. That awareness itself becomes the most balanced move.
Observing is the first cut. Then the next cut follows.
It’s like a quiet pause between two breaths—first you look, then you let the next shift come in. In that pause, the heart finds its own rhythm.
