My mission is to translate the ancient wisdom and healing ways. From the first civilization of China, people with no technology, to cure the self, had to turn inside or turn to nature to look for healing or guidance. Man united with cosmos as one – very similar to American Indian culture.
When people feel helpless or weak, they go inside to search in their soul to connect with the divine. Touching is the beginning of healing. Dao Yin – stretching and self-massage, meditation, looking inside, breathing, stretching, movement. Ordinary ancient Chinese people invented Qi Gong. Those wise people put it into a system. Hua Tuo – Five Animal Play, for example, mimics the movements of the animals.
Qi Gong works on different levels. The mind is the driver, the Qi is like gasoline or substance and the body is the car. We need gas or Qi to run the car. In order to run we must produce energy or power. If we produce energy or power the healing driver must “burn” gas to produce power to run the car.
The power runs on the twelve primary meridian channels. Each channel runs for 2 hours (of high tide) in sequence. Qi is like the General of an army – it cannot be seen but directs the action. The blood is like the soldiers that go out into the body. The Qi directs the blood.
If one of the twelve channels has a problem, it causes problems in the subsequent channels. The energy channels must be like a smooth tunnel – with no debris. If there is debris, we must flush it out, then we must command the Qi to flow through the channel to clear the debris. So how do we do it?
Gong is work. The driver conducting action to gas to drive the car. A new element must be produced, effort that results in an alchemical change. How do we produce this fifth element (Gong) to produce healing? Qi cannot create a miracle without the mind’s participation. The Art of the Mind is Qi Gong. The art is to produce or achieve a higher degree of stillness. The degree of stillness predicates the degree of success. The breath leads to calmness, calmness leads to peace, peace, ultimately, leads to stillness. Look inside. It requires that we empty the garbage out of the head. We must be willing to give up projects in the head. Be the worst host to your thoughts.
Man United With Cosmos As One.
Follow What is Nature.
When you give up the need to know, then you have reached the stage of emptiness, the Void. Then you can connect with stillness, with the Dao.
Void is the physical body of the Dao.
Stillness is the root of the Dao.
To participate fully in life, you must preserve stillness. We treat our emotions as devils and try to punish ourselves, rather than accepting them as natural. We entertain them and thereby our spiritual base is disturbed. Emotions are like decorations of our house; accept them rather than punishing yourself for them. It is our choice how we deal with our emotions. We only allow ourselves to be victims. Instead, every morning get up and say to yourself: “I am beautiful, successful, healthy, happy, lucky…” Project your message to the cosmos.
Returning is the motion of the Tao. If you throw a ball at the wall, it will bounce back.
Trust.
Whole-ism is the basic philosophy of Taoism. I and all are one.
Always go with the flow. Regulate the mind.
