TingTing Lin, Natural Time

I would like to cite the words of the Nia co-founder, Debbie Rosas Stewart, as our summary. As you see, I learnt and reflected a lot about her words during the discussion.

"Natural Time is fluid, non-linear, radial, and expansive. It is centered in now, not tomorrow, not yesterday, not based on deadlines, but now. It re-connects us to the cyclical rhythms of nature, the rhythms that unite us as human beings and unite us with all Life forms. The same basic movement of rising and falling, of inhaling and exhaling, of birthing and dying, run through every body of life. We are connected by the cyclical rhythms that move through us all.

One of the most powerful principles behind Natural Time and Nia is individuation and autonomy, the ability to move at a pace and depth that feels right to you. It is an energy field that physically feels fuller, less hurried."

With Joy,
Tingting

We had a great session, the flow was vivid and natural, thank you all! I add your Inspiration Notes:

Reflective - inner time needed!
Slow - fluent - energy.
How to take responsibility to speak out your own rhythm - at home, at work?
Knowing and understanding more about "time" gives us new perspectives to better understand the relationship between the self and time.
Do not forget your body! It can tell you your natural time! Your mind has been trained to follow society's time!
God created time, but he/she didn't mention busyness.
Very enlightening - it would be nice to hear more oriental insights from Tingting.
I learned that I need to listen to my body even more.
Awareness of your body, now. Energy in the universe, now.
Do not accept timelines and due dates without questioning their relevance.
Self-reflection.
Depression is healthy, if you give it time. Depression = being slow, stopping, letting go, contact with oneself.
Linear time limits you - natural time sets you free.
You can follow your natural time everywhere, because your body is the clock.
Natural time reminded me of a Zen-saying: "When I'm tired, I sleep. When I'm hungry, I eat."
Time is fluid, and flows like water.

Best wishes,
