“Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong” ― Lao Tzu
Using metaphors, including elements from the natural world, can help us to free ourselves from habitual, limiting patterns. The Buddha frequently used the element of water as a symbol of freedom. Through discussion, play, visualisation and meditation we will focus on how the water element can help our practice flow.
