Without a bodymind foundation of our individual (physical) existence that is built on an open network structure, it is difficult to create open and integrative collective / social structures constructively embedded into the environment.
This is why I think that a physical education that doesn’t care to foster complex integrative patterns on all kinds of levels will leave us with the competitiveness and destructiveness that we have now.

A Taoist bodymind practice is about multidimensional resonance, about multidimensionally resonating. As soon as you have internalized the external aspects of a movement sequence you can set foot on a really fascinating and rewarding path.
Light, pulsing movements, vibrations, waves throughout the whole body are a meaningful physical approach to begin and then continue your path. These words are so easily uttered. They are, however, not always that easy to grasp and put into practice. It is a wonderful, endless path of inspiration.
Movements, movement impulses, move in, through, and out of the body. You do not command these movements. You do not hold them back. The “identity” of a movement is broadened and extended. Rigidity is dissolved, drop by drop. You become a part of the flow—physically, mentally, emotionally, on conscious as well as on subconscious levels. Tune yourself in a wider context. You become tuned. It is a pleasant treatment that takes the time it needs. Building trust by trustworthy being.
Ancient Taoists were interested in meaning beyond the linguistic understanding of language and words. Sensing and sense-making seen in a different light.

Nei-kung versus Qigong
To make use of movement practices as a means to reflect upon, experience, and apply Daoist philosophical thought is so much more meaningful and deeper than restricting them to fitness or health exercises on a merely physical level.

內功與《老子》裡「損」的觀念
「為道日損。損之又損。以至於無為。」(《老子》第48章)
在上篇文章中我提到《老子》裡有關內功動作與「自然」的觀念。然而跟、觀察及順應其自然的動作卻是聽而容易,做而難。實際上放棄有意識地控制動作、聽任動作、或多或少的觀察及信任存於體內的動作知識是件困難的事。
Letting go / reducing (損 sun) in internal practices
„Practicing the Dao, you let go every day. You let go and let go, to get to non-action.“ (Daodejing, chapter 48)
In my last blog post I was talking about ziran in the context of internal practices. However, following movements, observing them and allowing them to simply be sounds far easier than it actually is.

Many of my students are in the slightly older category with a variety of physical problems, hypertension being one of them. So, recently, I was asked by a student what to do when you have back and neck pain after practicing the Yin Yang method.

»Wer nach dem Dao handelt, lässt Tag für Tag los. Man lässt mehr und mehr los, um schließlich das Nicht-Handeln zu erreichen.« (Daodejing, Kapitel 48)
WeiterlesenKreuzschmerzen nach dem Nei-kung Üben
Gestern bin ich gefragt worden, was man macht, wenn man nach dem Üben der Yin-Yang-Methode Nacken- und Kreuzschmerzen hat. Eigentlich ist es so, dass man durch die Praxis der Yin-Yang-Methode Verspannungen im Nacken-/Schulterbereich Stück für Stück löst und den kompletten Wirbelsäulenraum wieder beweglicher macht. Dies sollte komplett schmerzfrei geschehen. Schmerzen deuten hier daraufhin, dass man die Yin-Yang-Bewegungen ohne das notwendige Feingefühl gemacht hat. Worauf sollte man also achten, damit man nicht genau das Gegenteil dessen bewirkt, was man erreichen möchte?
