MessageThank you for your suggestion of Michael's trip to China. However this time round I want to train taiji, taiji sword and taiji fan. It sounds like Michael's group will spend a good time sitting around in lotus or half lotus. I have been there, done that and no longer interested. I just spent a year sitting for hours on end meditating, sometimes 4 hours at a time, sometimes 6 hours, sometimes 2 hours. My legs suffered greatly from it and I also put on a lot of weight. I need to get back into the physical energy work which will make mind, body and spirit very much healthier.
I know that buddhists/taoists say that the bubbling springs should point upwards so that energy can be absorbed, etc. etc. and they advise sitting in lotus and half lotus. Well, not this girl. And if the only way to enlightenment is sitting cross legged then I guess I won't be enlightened at any time because I pretty much refuse to sit in such postures that do not condone good circulation for ANYONE.
I think my partner and I will just wing it. I am a firm believer that movement is necessary for us humans. I would much rather connect while standing and/or dance with earth and heaven then sit and connect.
anyways, got to go.
Merry Christmas
