The Way of the Sacred Stool

A lot of energy is blocked from working against our rhythms.

With a rhythm, it’s so much easier to run farther.

To rest when you need to rest, and go hard when you’re moved to go hard.

The Ashanti figured this out, with a festival of rest that occurred every three weeks.

Every two weeks, they connected to their ancestors, their leaders, their material world (such as in the importance of the stool), and each other.

Regular cycles of renewal.

Removing barriers, just as they begin to calcify.
