The Power of Mobility (An Essay)

Mobility work is the same as inner work.

Doing it automatically shows you where you’re currently deficient / limited / stuck / living with dysfunction.

And you get to come face-to-face with the adaptations you’ve created in order to cope with that imbalance.

Just like chiro / physio / stretching / rolling doesn’t actually address the core issue,

(it can provide temporary relief from the results of your ongoing neglect and immobility, but it just creates a dependency on something external that doesn’t ‘fix’ the ‘problem’)

tools to manage your inner experience are no different.

And…

it’s not that there’s anything fundamentally wrong with any of these things.

They may be the perfect things along the way, or in a specific season, as you begin to trust yourself more and eventually wean yourself off of these external bandaids you lean on for support.

And when they are used not as a compensation,

but as a beautiful addition to an already solid and functioning system,

even better.

But the work is ultimately about no longer taking and settling for shortcuts when you are fully capable of,

and are completely designed for,

true stability and self-reliance.
