Firmness and Gentleness Firmness and gentleness come from a receptive mind and supportive feelings. Real firmness is always gentle. Real gentleness is always firm. When we are present, the body naturally manifests firmness and gentleness. The most natural way of moving and living is with full participation.
Full participation is possible when body, mind, and feelings are united.
The more our Being participates, the more we are able to support life and recognize that Existence supports us. Unified body, mind, and feelings support us to live harmoniously. Giving and receiving support take place simultaneously. The atmosphere of non-judgment gives us a taste of acceptance as we are in this moment. When we come to the present, we are free from judgment.
