Intentional Sitting™
Sitting has become one of the most maligned activities of our modern age. Everywhere you look, headlines scream about the dangers of sitting, likening it to smoking in its detrimental effects on health. But is sitting truly the villain it’s made out to be, or is it simply a misunderstood activity of daily living?
The truth lies not in the act of sitting itself, but in how we do it. Much like washing your hands, the technique matters immensely. Washing hands with a quick rinse and no soap is vastly different from a thorough 20-second scrub with soap and water. Similarly, sitting with poor posture and for extended periods without movement is what leads to health issues, not the mere act of sitting.

Mindful Use™
In a world increasingly dominated by technology and mechanization, the profound connection between human invention and the natural world often goes unnoticed.
