The Ease Needed to Find True Strength
Nov 21, 2025The short blog below accompanies the full practice video above, taken from Day 1 of of my special 10 Days of Intelligent Strength programme - available within Whole Health membership.
This practice and blog supports Chapter 8 of my Nine Foundations of Whole Health Natural Health Webinar (available to Whole Health Members), on Adaptation & Resilience for Health - (available to Whole Health Members). See my previous blog for more info on that chapter.
Strength Without Strain
This particular practice focuses on cultivating strength without strain, exploring how the body can rebound, respond, and hold itself with ease rather than effort. Instead of pushing or wearing down the system, we invite the sensation of being lifted and supported, occupying space in a way that feels steady and grounded.
Although the sequence is offered as a standing practice, it can be adapted in whatever way your body needs. You might sit on a chair between movements, or simply visualise each action and break it into smaller pieces. Resilience builds gradually, not through force, but through meeting your body where it is.
Sensation, Curiosity and Presence
Rather than labelling your experience, you’re invited to stay with the sensations themselves, the subtle tingles, the shifting of weight, the flex of a muscle, the rhythm of your heartbeat. Let curiosity guide the pace. Less is more here; it’s not the size of the movement that matters, but the ability to find your own rhythm and stay present to it.
As the practice unfolds, allow your awareness to settle. Feel the body arrive, drop down, and land. This gentle attention helps anchor you in the moment, strengthening the kind of quiet resilience that comes from presence rather than effort.
