Finding peace and meaning in movement

Often time the great sages spoke about doing without doing, seeing without seeing and being without being.

The most prominent lesson here is that while stillness is the practice, there is always movement. Actual non-movement leads to rigor mortise in which no life escapes you. To pull that away from the superficial and ideological, I would like to begin with this question.

Can movement and...

What does it mean to be mindful?

I have gotten this question about mindfulness many times, so I thought I would address it within a post. Mindfulness can come from many forms and many angles. Thus we must approach it for what it is in both foresight and hindsight. Mindfulness practice originated in the eastern orient traditions and was used to enhance the availability of sight within the environment to improve the presence of the person in whatever they were doing or not doing. That is why often if you refer to books written...

Stagnation and disease: Part 3- The deep channels

 

In the following, I will discuss how I arrived at the practice of Qigong and why it changed the way I saw things in my life. It was not an instant miracle, but it did progressively get better. I will do my best to detail what was going on and how I began to overcome it.

Today I’d like, to begin with, a concept introduced in the book Psycho-Cybernetics known as limbic hijacking. In a world that...
