Geomantic relationships are important factors to consider when seeking "the perfect spot". Caves in gneral have many different qualities depending on their Origin. Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore.

I stand in agreement with this. "information" based energy This level of teaching has produced profound results. This is why it's important to have a practical base (ie foundation) of chi gung practice before recieving further.... information. It would be like reading shakespear to a 4 year old without it. There will never be a replacement to the ageold ways of passing it on. The information age will be bringing a certain cataloging effect of "knowledge", whereas those who continue to seek within will eventually be drawn physically to others who have sought... -

Classical east indian instrument. Funny I listened to my teacher play one almost everyday I visited in 2003. All instruments tune your vibration rate. Especially ones with dense harmonics like that.

A person starts out pretty much in alignment. Things tug on them from all directions. The get out of alignment. They hurt. The realize all the connections. They let go of attachments. They feel good a while. They realize who be. Mind Inside Out Out Mind In Spinning Orbits While Lines Draw Tens ions toa po in T

You'll notice my post tapers down, with the intent of drawing attention to a point. My point here is very simply and non-confrontational. That spontaneous movement is as simple and free as children playing, nothing special, but hilariously special if you look at the 3inch box syndrome that "ergonomic culture" is creating... This means that the "free" circumnavigation of the human sphere of movement may have some initial twists and turns if it's in the form of martial art, and hopefully results in "aliveness" as some have coined it. If it doesn't then when you touch hands with someone you get abused. This can take shape and motion outside of the ergonomic norm of robot people. There are a lot of people out there looking to "act out" through martial art. Crazy Monkey Scratching His Head? Now outside of writhing around in meaningless primordian ooz like a single cell ameoba we'll eventually eventually want to make the journey from crawling to walking upright. After that transition the possibilities are really endless, form and function have to meet in the midsts of application, subject and objective dissolve into one, and ideally, the opponent dissapears into a zeropointed landscape of endless possibility. Inside outside survival instinct one. That is the point. Unity. A Paradoxial Peace through the interplay of stillness and activity. Like a surfer after a full day of waves, lulled to sleep by the rising and falling feeling of waves traveling through them. The skater takes off his skates. Have you ever grabbed a retarded epileptic while their having a siezer? Why would you do such a thing! Put a pencil in his mouth. Martial Movement as a medium to focus the mind works by stripping away the bullshit dialog and engaging repeatedly even obsessively in the pure physics say biomechanics (kinesthetic wakeup calls) of the body while training mind to maintain a sense of rhythmic calm like to sense the music of the body so you know what notes to play. After you know how to throw a punch, how many different backswings are there? This way we might find ourselves exploring endless variations to achieving the same "goal" of hitting the target in the middle. Again, paradoxial in it's nature. As you can not hold the site still, your eye must be on target while you engage and pause with each breath until the glass breaks.

This is where Martial Art crosses into Spiritual Art.

Darin, Yes and no. I am enroute to las vegas to meet up with my first teacher after training w/ seigung for a month. While passing through I returned to my old place of work and was very promptly sick. not like a normal sick either, but like a deep gut churning groan kinda sick.... when I left I felt back to normal. Then I wrote the above prose to just work things out. That's my mind at work. Then when I returned to a good friends work for free food, another kind of 'pit' I have been sick for 2 days. On A LIGHTER note I relieved my moms shoulder pain in about 2 minutes and it's been bugging her for a month. So important points for me to remember: 1. yes energy vortexes are real - there are natural and there are man made 2. pay heed to the human consciousness interacting with these fields - humans create a strong fingerprint in the field 3. awareness is undeniably joined with responsibility 4. you are what you eat -
Not to be confused with learning dancing through fighting and not through dancing.
