All of nature moves in natural rhythms. The whole universe is moving in one big rhythmic celestial dance. In our own daily lives we are either in rhythm or out of rhythm. We can always tell the difference but we might not always know why we are in or out of rhythm. We find our rhythm inside, in stillness or at least in a state of slower thoughts.
We don't know the burden we carry in our minds until we begin to lay it down in stillness. The relief is a surprise to the mind, which would protest that the only way to solve the problems of life is to dwell on them continually and wrestle them to the ground!
The effectiveness of dropping them like dead weight and letting them fall to the ground is a humbling revelation to the mind.
