these questions are exactly why i became qurious about quantum physics in 1981. and since then..."a little bit older........................ a little bit more confused" hahahaha

i follow the exact program given to me by my qigong master. the amount of time spent is varying depending on specific exercises and how they are put together in sequences. due to his not too stringent directions about mixing i allow myself other practise too. but the qigong is centrefocus. tkd is martial art, as is tai chi, so i have been told. qigong is self-medicine where i am now. through the qigong i awaken to the benfits of movements in tkd poomse (like karate kata). it helps me breathe and rest "in between". it has helped me understand the enormous benefit in zan zhuang..we have the horsstanding intkd too but averything is much more force here. the funny thing is that in qigong zanshuang i really learn how to be able to move both with maximum balance, fexibility and the result becomes strength. the qigong showed me how our stabilizermuscles can kick into action. Footwork and distance..then bodytechniqe. tkd is a lot of technique. it all helps flow. precition. being the "whip". i have followed som of your threads about stagnated yang energy, and the discomforts due to this. interesting. i have a lot to learn. martial.. internal.. external....... i say wring the egg

The reason The mullah Nasrudin went to see a rich man to earn some money from him. He asked the man to give him some money. The man said why you need money? Mullah said I want to buy an elephant so that is why I need money! The man said if you don't have enough money how you are going to look after the elephant? Mullah said I came here to get money not advice!

I had a teacher once who took no fee, he just expected hard work. I put in 5-9 hrs work a day and in exchange helped him with work, he received help from me in the fields I know better than him. I have also encountered courses where the price-system has been like "little russian dolls"..you seem to enroll into something and you end up paying money for a lot more details than you had prepared for. I always feel it is good to be sure I give back enough when I learn. Sometimes the money system is very clean too. Then there is no mixup ,it is very clear what is taught, and what is learned. Ordinary life we project on each other. Teachers and therapists now this (or should know). My teacher gave me music (then he was a friend) in return I cleaned his dojang (as a friend). I told him if he wants me wash it on regular basis he should be prepared to pay me 70$ pr hour. he hasnt offered me the job, hahahaha

thanks to all of you. "beginners mind" is a beautiful advice. Sometimes though I suspect I hide there... Interesting to hear from another one who works with canvas and paint. Yes when on "the roll" it sure is action and reaction, no silence, at most the bliss of intense consentration.

Your timing yen hui.. your timing was always perfect. thank you for sharing so much.
