Lesson from Laoshi

So I went back to the island to spend few days to be in warmth of my child and do some activities. What would I fancy?! I wondered. Its no fun doing yog postures half hearted. I cant stand discourses now a days.

Aah, Qi gong. Yes, let me learn this. It was just right sort of activity. I am good at visualizing and i believe in energy remedy.  Master class from world renowned Laoshi of Chi practices sounds like real treat.

Laoshi silently comes and practices his own energy rituals. The entire class is so silent. Infact i find more stillness of mind in western seekers than myself. So Laoshi conducts the entire class. Offers golden nuggets for chi harnessing.

1. Total Stillness of mind and enagage in dynamic body movement.
2. No tension in any part of body. One by focus and relax.
3. Opening of joints. Without opening of joints hi can not flow through body. So when we joint rotation stretches always razorsharp focus.
4. There is no need to visualize, just tune in to . Becoming so still and silent allows hightened senses.

Laoshi is smiling, small bulit and young. He now invites everyone around him to sit closer in circle for demo. Witnessing about half a dozen demo was magical.

He asked  big built muscular gentleman to push him against the wall. Responding muscular force with muscle will never work. But watch how the chi works.. he places palms on his elbow to sense and direct his chi, makes inner shift in his chi and by simply nudge easily pushes the guy away.

He places his hand on the floor and asks 2 participants to places their 4 hands to grab his. They are actually holding his chi and by shifting chi, there will not be anything to hold on to. He shifts his chi to other hand high in the air and slowly, slides his hand out.

Now my own experiment.. hold bottom of one leg of the chair. Ground your chi well and lift the entire chair high. No i failed. The key is grounding. You must harness chi from up above and also let it hook you as deep as possible in mother earth for unshakable grounding. Aaah, i seee. I need some serious grounding  rituals then.

Only i hear waves of oceans and swishing air. Such power can be enjoyed with feather light body, smile, wordless exchanges.

Word of caution: all those who offer qi gong lessons are not connecting qell with chi no matter how graceful and arty body movements seem to be doing. Find genuine master like all other practices.

With gratitude to Samma Karuna, have body and life full of chi.
Namastey Laoshi🙏🙏🙏
