"...LET
TRUE AFFECTION AND HAPPY CONCOURSE ABIDE IN THIS PLACE.
LET US HERE CORRECT OUR PAST MISTAKES AND LOSE PREOCCUPATION WITH SELF.
WITH THE CONSTANCY OF THE PLANETS IN THEIR COURSES OR OF THE DRAGON IN HIS
CLOUD-WRAPPED PATH, LET US ENTER THE LAND OF HEALTH AND EVER AFTER WALK WITHIN
IT'S BOUNDS.
LET US FORTIFY OURSELVES AGAINST WEAKNESS AND LEARN TO BE SELF-RELIANT, WITHOUT
EVEN A MOMENT'S LAPSE.
THEN OUR RESOLUTION WILL BECOME THE VERY AIR WE BREATHE, THE WORLD WE LIVE IN;
THEN WE WILL BE AS HAPPY AS A FISH IN CRYSTAL WATERS
"WHAT
YOU PRACTICE, YOU BECOME"
...If you want to exercise your body in a
way that will not hurt it,
...If you want to improve your coordination
and balance,
...If you want to learn to move more freely,
...if you want inner peace,
... If you want to improve your health.
| In the book The Zen of Running
from 1974 it was recommended to run barefoot and "as undressed as possible" in
order to get "well bathed by sun and air" |
True Tai Chi serves your whole being in a way which few people
know or recognise
in our modern world.
My aim is to make the depth of knowledge passed down through the art of Tai
Chi available to you and all who are committed to developing in a healthy,
natural way.
By practicing and ultimately embodying the principles in Tai Chi, you start
to manage your own well-being.
In truth, this is the beginning of an inner journey; a very practical, measurable
way to reclaim your own power of spirit: your essential creative ability.
The concept of nakedness
is a subjective one. To a simple mind, to an innocent mind, nudity
is not offensive;
it has its own beauty. But up to now, man has been fed on poison,
and gradually, with the passage of time, this poison has "spread" from
one pole of his existence to the other. Consequently, our
attitude to "nakedness" is completely unnatural
| Before Western civilization, nakedness
was a normal element of life and considered acceptable in
many circumstances. However, as Freud describes in Civilization
and Its Discontents, psychological
repression of the awareness of our natural being was a necessary
step in building civilization. |
Any male or
Female
who is somehow offended by the sight of a nude body,
probably has some Major Psychological Issues.
Being Naked in the Nude
The Beauty of the naked body in motion
Many people cant be
naked around others,
to undress is to bare their insecurities.
Nakedness Phobia?
Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of nudity or nakedness",
each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless
distress.
To add insult to an already distressing condition, most nakedness phobia therapies
take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly
to their fear.
Known by a number of names - Nudophobia, Fear of Nakedness, and Fear of Nudity
being the most common - the problem often significantly impacts the
quality of
life. |
A General Intro To Tai Chi
The slow movements of Tai Chi are graceful, powerful, relaxed,
balanced, and meditative.
Developed in China over a thousand years ago, this form of exercise unites
the mind and the
body, combining aspects of meditation, exercise, visualization, and martial
art. Once learned,
a Tai Chi form may take ten minutes to perform. Done once or twice daily, it
provides
extraordinary health benefits, improving balance, flexibility, and strength,
while calming the
spirit and reducing stress.
About The Tai Chi Form
The art of Tai Chi (actually called
T'ai Chi Ch'uan, "Yin
Yang Boxing") consists of
perfecting several skills. The most fundamental of these is the Tai Chi form,
a classical series
of movements which the student memorizes, much like a music student might memorize
a
classical piece of music. Once the movements are memorized, the real work of
refining the
movement can begin. The study focuses on the subtleties of relaxation, breathing,
and body
alignment. Movement is caused by internal pressure changes rather than muscular
tension.
The mind must be flexible, so the body will be supple.
With long term study, good Tai Chi takes into account not only the laws of
physics, but the
mysteries of the heart and mind. Fear and anxiety cause tension, which is felt
in the body. If
we can undo the tension, we can begin to undo the fear and anxiety. At an advanced
stage,
the fear associated with ego can be abandoned.
| Centuries of
oppressive thought have convinced many people that the
body is a shameful, worthless object that should be hidden.
Nonsense! The human body is one of the most elegant, masterful
and valuable things on earth. There are few things in existence
which compare to it on an artistic, technical, or philosophical
level. Celebrate the human body! It's one of the truly
unique creations. |

We are always Learning
“Tell me, Subhuti,” Buddha inquired, “Can
an arhat think to himself: ‘I have attained the realization
of an arhat’?”
Subhuti, his disciple, replied, “Of
course not. With such a thought, he would be grasping to the illusory
notions of an ego,
a personality, and an individual self. Any so-called arhat who holds
these notions is a fake.”
~Diamond Sutra
