  5. Twenty-Nine Don't think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania. Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life energy toward the light. Without the discipline to practice them, you will tumble constantly backward into darkness. Here is the great secret: Just as high awareness of the subtle truth is gained through virtuous conduct and sustaining disciplines, so also is it maintained through these things. Highly ev...

    Also baguazhang circle walking is a transformation process. and we all have to start somewhere. Alot of emotions will release when the points twist/activate/open to circulate fresh qi. The legs manifest the five 'myelements and the upper body manifests the eight forces of nature. When I was a teen I remember thinking I don't want to get old and feeble. Well, I feel the feeble part is as much a part of longevity as age or lack of being feeble, what I mean is if I am eighty and feeble or 45 and feeble I would feel old do the fact that from my rheumatism would surely lead me to being feeble far before "my time" if not for baguazhang. I hope that made sense, really trying to fill in space for that double post, lol.

    IMO the main reason that I have found bgz would be a more taxing play on the body than Tai Chi is in the heart/cardio area. Not that taiji couldnt be taken to the same level in play. I had my teacher once tell me that a taiji master said bgz will offer the player some gifts that no other IMA can. 2 cents.
