Polarites, interdependent opposites, are what brings life alive, you alive.
Sitting with only one pole, deadens and germinates the down-side
Think in pairs!
They are the territory for creativity, imagination and innovation. Dancing between both.
Think of some of the polarities at work with you. Perhaps ...
power & compassion, strength & vulnerability, idealism & pragmatism, change & stability
Imagine a line on the ground in from of you, at each end one of the poles.
Stand at each end, eyes closed, in silence.
How does your body respond to standing with each pole?
What insights arise for you?
Can you recognise the upside of each pole? And their downside?
Walk the line between both poles.
Can you sense holding both?
How might 'and' be useful for you in your world of work, and life?
