Brigid Posted October 14, 2017 Hello fellow travellers. I'm a nomadic farmer, right now living in Dartmoor (UK). I landed here serendipitously. Following two paths that I've been on since a long time, that of the Way of Ki, and that of celtic ways. Somehow both seem to bring me, gently and purposefully to Nature, the body's energy, and interconnectedness. I dipped my toes into Dao many a year ago, and later have approached it again, through Taichi and QiGong. Meditation and working on the energy centres. Now I'm hoping to go deeper. I'm also coming from the druidic (which is basically Shinto) and realised that the "three cauldrons" are very much the three energy centres in the Dao. As discussed in a topic here, almost a decade ago. Hence my joyful discovery of this community. May your day be fulfilling and peaceful. May your now be free of anger and worry. Dwell in kindness and love. Ignite the connection to Earth, and Heart and Mind will bloom. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
