Work

A relaxed state is one in which work can take place freely, openly and joyfully. Relaxation does not negate work – it allows work. So a relaxed muscle must be ready to tense and a tense muscle must be ready to relax. Relaxation and tension must learn to co-exist, and not as subsequent phases but as simultaneous conditions. This is central equilibrium – stillness without stiffness – stillness with energy.
