  2. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    In general, anything that is out of the control by human, then it is by nature.
  3. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    It seems to be a big issue for someone to understand the concept of Wu Wei. Perhaps it is so esoteric and philosophical. The definition of 無為 is "Take no action that cause harm to interrupt the course of nature." This definition was will defined in the TTC, There are few chapters in the TTC to substantiate it. Have are the some derivatives from the term of Wu Wei that was mentioned in the TTC. 1. 為無為: for Wu Wei; for the sake of Wu Wei 2. 無為而無不為: because of Wu Wei there was nothing that cannot be accomplished. 3. 有無: Take intentional action
  4. Yes, many modern people do not realize that is Qigong(氣功).
  5. Your meaning about grounding seems of out of sync with the true definition. The true meaning of grounding to be keep your body in a stable condition to maintain balance. The most effective grounding position is the keep both feet flat on the floor or ground. Nowadays, any exercise with the knee passed the toes is considered to be a bad practice. It is because it puts lots of tresses on the knee cap that might cause problems. As far as I know, there were many Taiji practitioners had made this mistake and caused permanent damage at the knee joint. The correct movement is always to point the knee at the same direction of the toes and do not go beyond the toes. If the knee was not properly align with the toes will cause permanent damage to the knee joint.
  6. Did you do any breathing exercise during your Qigong practice? If you did, you are all set and there is nothing to be worry about. Qigong is about learning to breathe better to enhance the metabolism in your body. It has a healing effect on the body. There should be no side effect if it was done properly. BTW Any qigong has the same positive effect. The name given to Qigong is immaterial. What it mounts to is mainly improving your breathing. Thus if the health of your body doesn't improve from the practice, that means you have not done the breathing exercise correctly.
