Weak Knees Vs. Soft Knees

What is the difference between weak knees and soft knees? Weak knees feel tender and vulnerable. Similar to how I am feeling — tender and vulnerable in life. Weak knees are weak because they are resisting life, resisting the flow of life. How and where am I resisting the flow of life? Where and how am I resisting myself? Weak knees have my concerned attention. Thankfully, I am comforting them, rubbing them, “reiki-ing” them and above all, listening to what they are trying to communicate to me.

They tell me to TRUST the Process. They tell me that resisting life and myself is based in fear and actually prevents me from finding joy. What my mind thinks is the “safe way” is actually a humorous illusion (although sometimes the “humor” eludes me).

Soft knees, by contrast, are loose and flexible. Soft knees are in fact very strong because they allow themselves to be moved and supported by the chi, by life itself. When I imagine myself moving through life in trust, in acceptance, in flexibility & ease and in joy, my body begins to tingle with excitement……
……..and I feel my knees smile.
