Polarization and Division through the Qigong Lens. We hear from www.JohnFord.com author of Peace at Work and Mediation Specialist.

Support our efforts at www.Patreon.com/watch Javi   This conversation inspired us to use the hand as a mirror for how we look at ourselves and cultivate a relationship with the body.  Then we extrapolate the notion and apply to the social landscape where we ask, “What would the world look like if we all learned to cultivate good, harmonious energy in ourselves”?   #qigong #yinqi #peace #taijiquan #peacefulwarrior

Please support our efforts at www.patreon.com/watchjavi   In this episode we sit down with Taoist Priest David Wei and get a small glimpse of the mountain-life and the pace of a Taoist practitioner.   Our conversation spans the subjects of ascension, martial arts, healing, and even sexual qigong.

Dr. Robert Chuckrow is a longtime practitioner of Taijiquan. He is a professor of Physics and has written many books about Taiji.

This was very enlightening. John Ford and I were able to talk about the Dao De Jing and bring forth some of its principles. In the context of social polarization John was able to note the continued opportunity for us to see Wuji in the face of division. It was great to bring this idea to the listenership and I hope to present more episodes like this in the future. I will share some great links to find more of John's work. I highly recommend the empathy set!! https://www.empathyset.com https://www.johnford.com

We would like to share with you this episode of Talking Qi, in which we provide a guided facilitation of this restorative practice. You may refer to the previous post which will serve as a guided handout. As the practice unfolds and as we gain more experience, we also improve the ability to guide you and others to the feeling. It is the feeling which is the communication network between the mind and the body. And for us, we are experiencing a deep feeling of calmness, centeredness, relaxation, and ease. We like to say that if there is ease, there is no dis-ease. With that we will continue to provide learning resources which help us to help you in communicating and articulating the feeling, while helping you to find that place. Finally, we believe that because this technique is very Lower-Dantian oriented, it is the space of Wuji (Taiji Term) or Embryonic State (Qigong term) that we are aiming to achieve. Stay tuned. We will be back with more soon. May your Qi continue to flow smoothly.

Premis Even if the body is at rest (if one is laying down), is the mind at rest? If the mind is captured in thoughts, memories, or emotions one is in movement and not at rest. If one cannot guide the mind to stillness one cannot rest completely. In this case, the mind is consuming your energy. This is the case if you ever find yourself thinking in bed, unable to sleep. To optimize rest and recovery, the physical (yang) and mental (yin) must harmonize to create conditions for optimal rest. When the yin and yang can both rest, then we can regenerate, restore, and recharge. *in this guided facilitation we show you how to bring the mind to stillness. Searching the depths of the Yin guides us to the root, essence. Yin is the formless the insubstantial. It is profound stillness, unlimited emptiness. It is the source of all possibilities. When we dip our toes into deep Yin we are stimulated to dive in, plunge, immerse the self into this emptiness. This complete stillness is the ultimate, most profound movement of all. And it should follow us in our physical movements, honoring truth, nature and existence. After much movement, we return to this stillness also known as Wuji. Question Can you reach the Yin side?? Do you know mind of no mind? Can you feel YinYang? These are prerequisites of regeneration, rest, and recovery. What is YinYang? Origin, purpose, message How can it help us? We look at movement and rest in the framework of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are often seen as apposing, yet they are complimentary of one another to sustain a wholistic perspective. Like night and day can be seen as apposing, those two phases make one, unified cycle. Similarly our movement of the day is halted by our rest in the night to sustain the cycle. Have you ever experienced difficulties in coming to complete rest? Have you ever awoke in the night, unable to resume sleep? Has the mind ever kept you awake by running various thoughts, memories, or imagined scenarios on a loop, keeping you awake? We must attend to the energy which persists, impeding the sleep cycle, and how to work with it to seize it, slow it down and tease it into state of rest. With the mind and the body both at rest, the conditions are met for Regeneration. We get the smooth function of processes which provide cell repair and elimination of waste. What is Wuji? What is Taiji? Most people are familiar with the Yin-Yang Symbol. Whenever we speak of Yin and Yang, we musn’t omit Wuji or Taiji. We know that in this earth realm, all living things and beings experience the existence spectrum through the main events of life and death. All which experience life, must experience death. Like night and day, life and death may seem to be apposed, yet let’s remember that they are unified as one cycle. So sometimes we may ask, is it two or is it one? Are they separated or unified? And what is the mother of Yin and Yang? We refer to Taiji theory which says that Taiji is generated from Wuji, and it is a pivotal function of movement and stillness. It is the mother of Yin and Yang. When it moves it divides and at rest, it reunites. https://www.patreon.com/posts/regeneration-2-56177848?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copy_to_clipboard&utm_campaign=postshare
