Abstract Challenge 53 - December 2021
“Lights, circles, triangles”
No edit Christmas lights pictures from my neighborhood. Intentional movement of the camera was used.
This workout kicked my ass, even with modifications! My walk is quite hilarious right now, and don't even get me started about the stairs 😅
The road doesn’t need to be clear — only chosen with intention.
The Steps of the Traveler
A Binary Sigil Pair for Walking the World Intentionally
Every step is an invocation. Every path is a mirror. To move is to speak the ancient language of the Earth.
Shoes mark our interface with the world — the meeting of vision and terrain, of dream and dust. We walk across invisible borders each day, crossing thresholds of time, mood, and possibility. What if every step became conscious? What if walking itself was a spell — travel, a meditation?
This thought gave birth to The Steps of the Traveler: a binary sigil pair designed for the soles of one’s shoes — the right foot as Opener of Doors, the left foot as Protector of the Path. Together, they turn movement into meaning.
⚔ The Right Foot — Opener of Doors
The right step represents expansion — the forward thrust of curiosity, courage, and opportunity. It is the movement that says yes to the unknown. Each step projects intention into the world, turning desire into direction. To walk forward is to declare: I open to life and to what wishes to meet me.
🛡 The Left Foot — Guardian of the Path
The left step represents containment — the act of grounding, preserving, and protecting what is precious. It holds space for safety and rest, balancing the right foot’s reach with steadiness and care. To step upon the earth is to say: I walk in strength and grace; I am supported and shielded.
✶ Walking as Spell, Travel as Meditation
When you walk, one foot opens, the other guards. Each step alternates between expansion and protection, offering and receiving. The rhythm itself becomes sacred — an alchemical dialogue between movement and stillness.
This is intentional movement — the art of walking as a living prayer. No temple required. The road becomes your altar.
✧ How to Create Your Pair
Design:
Draw or paint two circular sigils — one for each shoe.
The right shoe sigil should embody what you wish to expand: opportunities, courage, inspiration, creativity, or freedom.
The left shoe sigil should reflect what you want to protect: your health, peace, love, resources, or guidance.
Think of the right as the key, the left as the shield.
Placement: Attach each sigil inside the shoe, under the insole, or subtly on the heel.
Activation: Stand still. Whisper: “Right foot opens. Left foot guards. Between them, the world unfolds.” Then take one deliberate step forward and feel the circuit of movement awaken beneath you.
☿ The Traveler’s Insight
To walk consciously is to remember: every path is both outer and inner. The terrain you cross reflects the state of your being. The sigils are not charms of superstition — they are mirrors of attention. They remind you that travel is not escape, but expansion — a dialogue between self and world, foot and ground, heaven and dust.
20 Min Hip Opening Yoga Flow
The first movement activity I ever loved was horseback riding.
The second, hiking.
The third is yoga. I started learning and trying yoga during my ED treatment days. I try to do yoga as often as possible, preferably every day after work.
I could have done yoga Monday before dance, but I didn’t. Yesterday I had a work event so I didn’t get home til late. But today I knew I wanted to go home, get my yoga leggings on, and get to work on finding some flow.
My go-to YouTube yoga teacher is Tiffany Croww. She’s a plus size lady who makes yoga accessible. So I used her 20 minute hip opening flow to get into stretching my chronically tight hips.
Now I’m zoned out on the couch watching her series on restorative yoga.
