I really appreciate your message of love, and I believe your site meets the guidelines of a new award I recently created. It’s called the Hope Unites Globally HUG Award. You can read more about the award at http://ahopefortoday.com/2012/01/14/hope-unites-globally-hug-award-guidelines/ This is not a “fluff” award; it is a “tough” award, and I hope you will accept the award and pass it along to others you feel also deserve it. I look forward to exploring your site more in the near future. Blessings, Connie

You never lose by loving, You always lose by holding back.

What gift can we offer God….? to be God-like in our love for others of course!

I am still processing all the wealth I felt into my life. The sharing of style, philosophy, and friendship was so very nourishing. The exchange that occurs in person always inspires me to keep my movements throughout my life alive.

My 1st response is, the window to my soul. But like the lotus bloom it is open to interpretation. What the viewer or God in this case sees or feels can open the passage into a free reflecting space. If the viewer is carrying desires there are conditions attached. This open space can even allow reflection back to the viewer like a mirror providing a view from both sides which includes myself. Is the window open or closed? If you don’t like what you see you may not like it based on your conditions. If you feel freedom, love, Tao, beauty it may be that it is based unconditionally looking beyond the good, bad or otherwise. To nourish love is to reciprocate. To reciprocate love is to nourish it so as to not fall into withdrawal. This post reminds me of the possibilities that desires can build up from suppressing the essence of love which is nourishment. The Hawaiians say “open the gate so the fish can get in.”

He is all giving. A beautiful man. I felt yin and nurtured around him. The fundamental practice of standing and Taiji walking is now a favorite. I learned that strength is in simplicity.

But as I look at the blue in the photo I see an etherial sky. Something beyond our ordinary senses … transcendent and primordial. Why do people and animals have faith in migration? Heading into the blue? I look back to the Taiji Symbol again of yin and yang and think okay balance and set no boundaries. As they say in Maui “Eddie would go”

In reference to the body changes. I was reading about the term Wabi Sabi a Japanese term thought to have been derived from Zen Buddhism. Wabi Sabi could even be called the “Zen of things” in reference to the natural order of life. All similar to Taoist philosophy. All things in the universe are either devolving toward or evolving from nothingness. As in the universe, while the body destructs it also constructs. Just by observation we can’t really tell whether something is in the evolving or devolving mode. Devolving is quiet/yin like while evolving is brighter/yang. And that nothingness itself is not empty space but alive with possibility. So why can’t that override Karma? And what kind of expression would you get back if you said I practice Wabi Sabi? They might even want to look that one up.

Just a guess

And because they are distilled to there essence they are open to interpretation. Just last night I awoke with a thought ….. (it was like Taiji). It must of been derived from a conversation I had earlier with a fellow Taiji colleague who felt a sensation of being acutely aware of her presence in movement. Could it be a subtle transformation from one second to the next like how the water morphs into fog emerging from the lake! I think so.

I have been a Yogi for most of my mid adult life but not a good yogi as a result i have a body which is rejuvanateing and a body which is degeneratateing9 Arn’t we all) often people won’t beleive me when i tell them how old i am, or when I’m in the waiting room at the heart clinic I’ll hear some one remark “He doesn’t look sick, and when i get into the examanation room the nurse comments ” Is that all the meds your takeing with heart disease ” When i tell them I’m a yogi it goes right on by so i have gotten where i say nothing. Forgive me that i use taoist and yogi to identify internal practice i know their are differances i do both, like i have incorperated your breathing practises in my routine. Some say the bodys Karma is set and maybe so but internal practice brings to for the longevity mandela.

I had a conversation with a friend years ago when I was in my twentys where she had said that she knew she was going to die young and I immediately replied that I wanted to live to be a hundred. I guess I was having a lot of fun back then. Now I have more reasons to want it because of 6, soon to be 7 grandchildren. I’m happy that I have found your class and I am sure that the exercises are helping me more than I realize. Thanks for being here for us seniors!!! It would be great if more doctors would realize the benefits of qigong and guide their patients to it. Someday it will happen!
