Selfseeds Weight Distribution

“Where you carry weight is where you carry story.”

This isn’t about posture or pounds.
It’s about how you meet the ground.
Where do you feel pressure—heels, toes, right, left?
Where does your body hold more… or float away?

This seed invites you to sense your center—
not to correct it, but to understand it.

“Weight isn’t a problem. It’s information.”
 

Try this:

• Stand barefoot. Close your eyes.
• Notice where you land—front/back, left/right.
• Gently shift until it feels more even.
• Take a breath. What shifts inside?
   

You can also:

• Walk slowly and listen to your feet.
• Sit, then stand—notice your center.
   

This seed works through sensation, not effort.
 

“What part of me is always holding more?”

Your body remembers patterns.
Awareness gently invites new ones.
To shift weight is to give yourself balance without force.

• Flexibility: Releasing what’s held too tightly
• Partnering: Sensing balance in connection
• Balance: Becoming steady, inside and out
   

1. Everyday Living
Weight reveals where you’re grounded—or gripping.

“Feel your feet. Soften your knees. Balance lives in ease.”
 

2. Children & Parents
🪵 Mabel the Mushroom
“I’m Mabel! I wobble but don’t fall. Let’s learn to feel stable and strong!”

Games:

• Stack & Wiggle: How much can you hold before tipping?
• Animal Walks: Try the weight of an elephant, crab, flamingo.
• Ground Game: Stomp and stand—what feels solid?
   

Parent Tip: Wobbly = growing. Help them notice shifts without shame.

3. Athletics
Movement begins with balance.

“Anchor before action.”
Ask: Where do I lock? Where do I lift?
 

4. Grief & Change
Grief shifts posture. You might slump or float.
Let your body feel lopsided—it’s still listening.

“If I tilt, that’s okay—balance will come another day.”
 

5. Kin
Watch how your animal shifts weight.
Do they lean in? Withdraw?
Match their rhythm for mutual grounding.

“How I carry myself is how I meet the world.”
 

Stand. Breathe.
Say aloud:

“My weight is welcome here.”
Let the earth respond:
“I’ve got you.”
