Do you have a HUGE wall and fancy the work
CONSCIOUS repetitions create momentum for transformation.
As mentioned in one of my other blogposts I tend to underestimate the hardship of repetition.😅
This piece might be the most extreme example of diving into repetitive tasks.
A fair question would be “ if you find repetition so challenging why do it ??”
The answer is:
my experience is that CONSCIOUS repetitions create momentum for transformation.
It’s a simple yet deep practice of alert awareness. By repeating one thing again and again the form and especially the meaning attached to the form perish. And by this chaos a gap is given, offering space to transcend the fixed form so as a new form can evolve.
