Does a Body Stagnate if it Stops Moving, Does Each Body Hold a Lotus?

I have an image of water - and how quickly it stagnates if there is no flow running through it.  Is it the same for us, for are we not predominantly water.  This isn't a new thought but it's a thought for me.  Where does that point of stagnation locate within the body? -  the mind? the cells? the skin? the lungs? the heart?

This led me on to thinking about fluid - the fluid in our body and the qualities of a fluid, fluidity v's rigidity.  How is it to move fluidly?  Continuously, negotiating, adapting, smooth, malleable, soft, wet, calm, flowing - are these masculine attributes?  Is this a stereotypical description of a man, do they strive to be soft, 'wet' (weak), calm?  - Is it a lack of fluidity - the layering of stereotypes which causes a stagnation within men?

Fact of the Day - Lotuses Prefer Stagnant Water.
