In our daily lives, we are often reminded that the void and reality are in constant interplay. Roushi’s concept of “mui” illustrates the subtle workings of the void. The practice of bodywork, too, is deeply connected to this world of constant flux between presence and absence. There is a delicate balance between expression and non-expression, where the language of the hands and the spaces created by silence allow us to find comfort and reflect upon ourselves.
This cycle, where nothingness gives rise to existence and existence returns to nothingness, is ever-present in both nature and our lives. A sip of water nourishes the body, just as a moment of silence leads to the next action. By becoming aware of this continuous flow, we can tune into the rhythm of life. Calming the mind and aligning the body are essential in bridging the gap between emptiness and reality.
In the midst of a busy life, taking just a moment to pause and focus on the breath is an act of creating something from nothing. It is in these small cycles, conscious of their movement, that we find the balance between the void and the tangible. Void and reality, expression and non-expression, the tangible and the intangible — all are part of our existence. They are not opposing forces but elements that work in harmony to define who we are.
By embracing both the void and reality, we make life more fluid and enriching. Happiness is not far off, hiding just beneath the surface, ready to emerge when we allow ourselves to see it. This harmony and balance create a life that feels softer and fuller, with a sense of peace and well-being that arises from within, subtly guiding us to a more fulfilling existence.
