SELF-CARE

“There is only one disease in the world:
Ignorance.
If you know and feel how your body works,
you can change anything
Andre Noquet, Aikido Master

“Be relaxed, calm and natural.
If you are living according to the last principle, your pure Qi will continually flow in abundance and with vigour...

...when mind, Shen or spirit is in a harmonious state and abiding inward, rather than being orderless, scattered and directed outward,
where can illness come from?”
Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine

XING AND MING

Apologies

Jing, Qi and Shen
Jing + Qi = Human Body
Shen = Mind, Consciousness, Spirit
Jing + Qi = Ming 命
Shen = Xing 性

Xing 性

It is also Shen- the source or base of consciousness.
The manifestation of the fundamental nature of the totality of mind, consciousness, the source of consciousness and spirituality.

Ming 命
Our physical body.
The structure and functions of the body and Qi.
The manifestation of all functions of the body and Qi.
Nb - Xing and Ming are actually one.

Shen is the master of Qi and
Qi flows where attention goes and
Qi is the mother of blood

“The two essential elements of traditional Chinese culture are Tao and Qi.
Tao is the fundamental law of the universe and life.Qi is the change and activities that manifest Tao.

Qi Gong
“QiGong is a form of training and practice
to enable the practitioner to take an activerole
in directing the consciousness inward
and use it positively in order to
transform, enhance and perfect human life...

Qi Gong
...The purpose of Qi Gong practice
is to bring life closer to the law of human life.
When you follow the law of life, you can be healthy.
The more deeply you follow the law,
the healthier you get...

Qi Gong
...We can look at all human problems
as being the result of going against the law,
and hence to deal with problems
we have to go back and begin to follow the law.”
Yuan Tze
