The Chair – Symbol of Rest and Presence

Seat of rest, place of presence, ground for reflection.

 

origins

From royal thrones to humble stools, chairs marked both authority and simple being. They were spaces of pause, decision, or listening.

 

meaning

Rest, authority, presence. The chair symbolises the act of sitting fully in one’s place.

 

today

It speaks of the need to stop moving, to take a seat, and to honour stillness as strength.

 

practice

Sit quietly in a chair. Place both feet on the ground. Ask: what happens when I truly take my place?

 

endurance

The chair endures because every journey needs moments of pause, and every leader needs a seat of presence.
