Food for Thought…

Attachments… the major source of disharmony… and suffering…

Attachments… in the short run, developing a habit that creates consistence can be very empowering… such as learning a new skill or habit that will empower a different aspect of your life… such as building empowering values and character traits…

However, remaining attached to those habits after they have achieved their goals can create disharmony…

So… how do we eliminate or minimize the disempowering attachments… that no longer serve us…

Daoism sees attachment as clinging that disrupts the natural flow (Dao), creates body‑mind tension, and fractures our sense of belonging…

Rather than encouraging indifference, it teaches skillful release… cultivating naturalness (ziran), non‑action (wu wei), and a fluid sense of self so attachments lose their power…

Core practices…

- Re‑orient to wu wei… Learn to do less that forces outcomes… Respond rather than react… pause before acting and ask what aligns with the situation’s natural unfolding….

This reduces compulsive grasping and encourages effortless, wise choices…

- Cultivate ziran and simplicity… Simplify possessions, obligations, and goals…

Living by needs rather than endless wants lowers stimuli that feed attachment and builds contentment…

- Sit and forget (zuo wang)… Meditative practice that loosens identity labels (name, role, past/future) and lets sensations pass without clutching, dissolving rigid self‑definitions and revealing a fluid self…

- Work with body and qi… Gentle qigong, tai chi, and breathwork move stuck emotional energy, ground attention in the lower dantian, calm agitation, and restore embodied presence…

- Practice appropriate detachment… Care openly without clinging… give and serve without expectation… so self‑worth isn’t tied to outcomes…

- Reflect on impermanence… Contemplating change exposes the illusion of permanence, softening fixations on people, roles, and things…

- Use small letting‑go rituals… Symbolic acts (writing and releasing, ritual breaths) make psychological release tangible and help internalize letting go…

- Balance discernment with acceptance… Accept what you cannot control while wisely choosing where to invest attachment… commitment remains, but aligned with the greater flow…

Practicalities…

Begin small… 5–15 minutes daily of sitting or qigong, declutter regularly, and insert mindful pauses before impulses…

Over time these practices transform attachment into freer, life‑affirming engagement, reducing suffering and restoring personal power…

All the Best!

Food for Thought…

The benefits of breathing fully, completely, relaxed, and slowly…

The Wave Breath…

Wave breathing (also called “dantian wave” or “spinal wave” breathing in some Qi Gong traditions) is a slow, smooth, whole-body breathing method that coordinates breath, posture and imagery to move energy (qi) in a wave-like motion through the torso….

Here is a clear how-to and the main benefits mentally, physically and spiritually…

How to do wave breathing…

1. Settle your posture… Stand in Wuji (feet shoulder-width, knees slightly bent) or sit upright with a tall spine….

Relax shoulders, neck and jaw… Place one or both hands lightly over the lower abdomen (the lower dantian, about 2–3 finger-widths below the navel)… some place one hand on the lower cantina and one hand on the chest…

2. Begin relaxed diaphragmatic breathing… Breathe through the nose… Soften the belly so the diaphragm can descend on the in-breath…

3. Inhale as a rising wave… Breathe in slowly and smoothly…

First allow the lower belly to expand, then feel the expansion move up into the lower ribs and mid-chest, and finally a subtle lifting in the upper chest and throat… like a wave traveling from the lower dantian up toward the crown… Keep the throat soft and the movement continuous…

4. Exhale as a descending wave… Let the breath release slowly from the crown/chest, then the ribs draw in, and finally the lower belly gently contracts to complete the wave, drawing the energy back into the lower dantian…

5. Coordinate with imagery and tempo… Visualize a warm, soft wave of energy traveling up and down…

Keep the cycle even and unforced… common counts are 4–6 seconds in, 4–6 seconds out, or whatever feels smooth… Practice 5–20 minutes to start…

6. Variations. Add a gentle spinal undulation or arm sweep timed with the breath for a flowing form, or remain still to emphasize internal sensation…

Benefits…

Mental… Wave breathing calms the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic response, lowering stress hormones, reducing anxiety and clarifying attention… The slow, rhythmic focus improves present-moment awareness and mental stability, making it easier to concentrate and regulate emotion…

Physical… It strengthens diaphragmatic function, increases lung capacity and improves oxygenation…

The coordinated torso movement mobilizes the ribs and spine, relieves tension in the lower back and chest, supports digestion and circulation, and can improve posture and core stability…

Spiritual/subtle… Practiced with intention, wave breathing cultivates awareness of qi and deepens connection to the lower dantian… a center of vitality and grounding…

It facilitates energetic balance, a sense of centeredness and inner stillness, and can open the field for deeper meditation, intuitive insight, and subtle-body sensitivity…

Safety and tips… Never force breath depth… stop if dizzy or unwell…Start gently, practice regularly, and let the wave become fluid and natural…

Do you practice Wave Breathing every day?

Can you see benefit in doing so?

All the Best!

02/02/2026

Food for Thought…

"Picking Cherries" is a graceful Qi Gong movement designed to elongate, strengthen, and relieve tension along the spine while cultivating relaxed awareness…

The imagery is simple… reaching up to gather a ripe cherry, then returning the hand to the lower center (dantian), or the ear level…

That visual helps coordinate breath, posture, and intention so the spine moves evenly and without strain…

How to practice the basic version…stand with feet about hip-width, knees soft, pelvis neutral, and crown lifting gently as if suspended by a string…

Inhale slowly as you raise one arm up and over, fingers lightly reaching as if plucking a cherry at the limit of comfortable reach…

Keep the ribs from flaring… allow the lift to come from lengthening through the spine rather than arching the lower back…

Exhale as you lower the hand back down to the lower abdomen or the centerline in a smooth, controlled motion, often with a gentle inward focus at the dantian…

Repeat with the other arm… many sequences alternate sides or use both arms together, usually for 8–12 repetitions or for several minutes, always moving with slow, mindful breathing…

Physical benefits are direct and practical…

The gentle overhead reach and controlled return increase spinal mobility across the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions, encouraging more even movement between vertebrae…

The action strengthens postural muscles… deep spinal extensors, the scapular stabilizers, and the core… so the spine becomes better supported during daily activities…

The soft lengthening relieves chronic tension held in the neck, shoulders, and upper back, and the controlled decompression can reduce compressive stress on intervertebral discs when practiced regularly…

Beyond the musculoskeletal advantages, Picking Cherries supports nervous-system balance…

Coordinating breath with slow, intentional movement calms the sympathetic “fight-or-flight” response and stimulates parasympathetic relaxation, which lowers stress hormones and improves sleep and digestion…

The rhythmic, mindful quality improves proprioception and body awareness, reducing habitual patterns that create stiffness or pain…

Energetically, many practitioners feel increased flow of qi along the spine and torso, experienced as warmth, openness, or lightness…

To maximize benefits, practice consistently… short daily sessions are better than sporadic long ones…

Move within comfortable range, avoid forcing extension, and keep breath smooth…

With regular, mindful practice, Picking Cherries cultivates a straighter, stronger, and more relaxed spine and a calmer, more resilient body-mind…

All the Best!

Food for Thought…

Open the Flow… I’ve seen many forms and many people practicing differently…

Despite the differences, there is also consistency…

The soft, gentle, flowing slow movement of “Open the Flow” in Qi Gong… it’s gentle… but not weak… here is a description…

“Open the Flow” in Qi Gong is a slow, continuous movement that looks effortless but is held with mindful structure…

Begin standing with feet shoulder-width apart, knees soft, spine long and crown lifted… Hands float in front of the lower dantian (about two inches below the navel) as if holding a large, gently expanding ball of energy…

The motion begins by inhaling slowly and expanding the rib cage while the hands rise together, palms facing inward… The elbows open softly; shoulders remain relaxed, not collapsing or elevated… At the top of the inhalation the arms reach shoulder height, fingers rounded, as if opening a gate…

As you exhale, allow the hands to descend in a smooth arc, palms turning slightly outward, guiding energy down and around the body, past the sides and back to return to the dantian…

The torso rotates fractionally with the arms, not forced but naturally following the flow…

Movement is continuous… inhale, open and lift; exhale, soften and gather… Movement speed is deliberately slow… several seconds for each inhale and exhale … giving space for sensation and intention…

Eyes are soft, gaze lowered or gently forward… The breath stays diaphragmatic, calm, and steady; intention (yi) guides the path of the hands rather than muscular effort…

Purpose… “Open the Flow” mobilizes Qi by coordinating breath, posture, and mindful intent…

The pattern gently stretches the chest, shoulders, and spine, creating room for improved breathing and the sense of energetic circulation around the torso…

It stimulates the meridians and energetic pathways associated with chest, lungs, and middle dantian, encouraging smoother internal flow…

The emphasis on a continuous, connected arc helps dissolve held tension and habitual muscular guarding that blocks circulation and breath…

Benefits… Physically, the movement increases joint mobility in the shoulders and spine, promotes better diaphragmatic breathing, and enhances circulation to soft tissues…

Energetically and mentally, it reduces stress, calms the nervous system, and fosters a steady, present awareness…

Regular practice can improve posture, balance, and proprioception because you must align the skeleton and relax the muscles to maintain the gentle power of the flow…

It also refines the mind-body connection… guiding energy with intention cultivates focus and inner calm…

Practice notes… Keep the effort minimal… gentle but resolute…

Move within comfort; avoid forcing range…

All the Best!

30/01/2026

Food for Thought…

It is empowering to be humbly proud of accomplishments, actions, life changes, etc…

It is disempowering to have excessive pride…

To cling to pride is to close the door to the empowering Way…

Pride builds a small house around the heart and polishes its own trophies until the windows are blind…

The Dao flows through empty spaces… it does not lodge with those who clutch…

A wise person does not carry honors as armor or opinions as lampstands… they keep their hands empty so that the Way may move them…

Learning that springs from humility is like a stream that gathers water from many crannies…

Learning that rises from pride becomes a dry well…

When you believe you already know, you stop listening to the wind, the birds, the rustle of a single reed…

Each of these is a teacher if you are not deafened by your own voice…

Listen with the quiet of a valley and you will hear what mountains have to say…

The sage follows the pattern of water…

Water seeks the low place, and there it becomes deep…

It yields, but its yielding is not weakness… it is intelligence…

It outlasts the hard rock by flowing around it…

Pride strikes against difficulty and fractures… Humility slips past sharp edges and finds new ways…

In yielding, one learns the shape of the world…

Practice non-assertion not as defeat but as skill…

When the leaf relaxes, it follows the wind…

When the hand unclenches, it learns how to hold a cup without grasping…

In study, do not make knowledge a banner to wave… make it a tool to return to the self… Use words like oars, not like anchors… Speak when the moment asks… refrain when it does not…

The Dao does not favor the loud…

It moves through what is unadorned… A person who bows finds their path widened…

A person who brags must always carry the weight of their boast…

Let your virtue be like the unmarked path… people pass it without knowing, yet it supports everyone and everything…

All the Best!

Food for Thought…

Have you ever had barriers that you struggled to get over… resentment, anger, bitterness, past traumas, etc. are just a few of the barriers that people find challenging…

The I Ching provides some guidance in this area…

Hexagram 59, Huan… Dispersion or Dissolution… describes the breaking up of barriers and the easing of stagnation through gentle, pervasive influence…

The image is wind or mist over water… subtle, penetrating movement that scatters what obstructs clarity and flow…

Where Hexagram 58 (Joy) encourages openness from within, 59 is about removing external blockages that prevent connection, communication, or progress…

The judgment advises action through softness and sincerity rather than force…

Obstacles are dissolved by easing tension, reducing resistance, and restoring natural circulation…

This can mean reconciling differences, releasing rigid positions, or letting go of attachments that bind you to an unproductive past…

Success comes from patient persistence… consistent small efforts that permeate and change the situation, not dramatic gestures that might provoke counterforce…

On a personal level, Huan calls for emotional release and honest expression…

If worry, guilt, or resentment is clogging your relations or health, the medicine is to address these with clarity, generosity, and humility…

Speak to what matters, but do so without accusation…

Sometimes the act of showing empathy and taking the first step to rebuild trust is enough to set healing in motion…

In relationships and groups, this hexagram highlights diplomacy and bridge-building…

A leader’s role is to create environments where misunderstandings and entrenched factions can gently unwind…

Practical steps include lowering defenses, creating neutral ground for dialogue, and fostering small cooperative acts that remind people of shared interests…

Beware of scattering attention… diffusion without direction can lead to indecisiveness or loss of cohesion…

In terms of timing, Dispersion is favorable when stagnation is severe and direct confrontation would only harden positions…

It is not a sign to withdraw indefinitely… the goal is to re-establish flow, after which structure and organization can be rebuilt on a healthier foundation…

Spiritually and psychologically, Huan encourages inner cleansing—letting go of mental fog so intention and qi can move freely…

Techniques like breathing, slow movement, or reflective conversation support this process…

Cautions… avoid passive capitulation or evasive behavior that leaves core issues unaddressed… Also avoid scattering energy in many directions… channel soft influence toward clear aims…

In sum, Hexagram 59 teaches the power of gentle, persistent dissolution… remove what blocks, restore flow, and then, from renewed openness, rebuild with wisdom…

All the Best!

Food for Thought…

Do you know anyone who celebrates their emotions… the erratic nature of over stimulating emotions… erratic thought that causes loss of focus…

Energy flows where the mind goes… an erratic mind creates erratic, unfocused energy… within your body and within your life…

Causing dysfunctional health with the body and a dysfunctional life outside…

“The energy flows where the mind goes” is a guiding axiom in Qigong, Tai Chi, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)…

The “Monkey mind”… restless, scattered, continually hopping from thought to thought… disrupts that flow…

Regulating it is central to effective practice and to balanced living…

In Qigong and Tai Chi the relationship between mind (yi), qi (energy), and body is explicit… yi leads, qi follows, body harmonizes…

When the mind wanders, intention becomes diffuse and qi disperses… Movements lose continuity, posture fragments, and breathing becomes shallow… all of which reduce the internal circulation of qi and impede the subtle feedback that informs refinement of technique…

A focused mind, by contrast, channels attention to the dantian (center), breath, and meridian pathways, allowing slow, connected movement and deeper internal sensation…

This increases efficiency of practice, cultivates calm, and accelerates skill development…

TCM frames mental states within organ-system dynamics…

The Heart houses the Shen (spirit/mind)… a tranquil Shen supports clarity and restful sleep…

The Liver ensures smooth flow of qi and emotion… its dysfunction manifests as irritability or stagnation…

The Spleen relates to thought and concentration… overthinking weakens its function…

From this perspective, an unsettled Monkey mind contributes to disharmony… stagnation, tension, disrupted sleep, and weakened digestion…

Conversely, calming the mind supports organ balance, which in turn stabilizes emotion and attention in a reinforcing cycle…

Practically, regulating the Monkey mind is done through simple, embodied methods shared across these traditions… breath regulation, slow mindful movement, single-pointed attention, a soft gaze, and repeated return to bodily sensation…

Techniques like counting the breath, focusing on the dantian, or feeling qi flow along the meridians train the mind to stay present…

Over time, this trains the autonomic nervous system toward parasympathetic balance… less reactivity, lower stress hormones, and improved resilience…

Beyond formal practice, the same principle applies to everyday life…

Attention is a form of energy… where you place it shapes your decisions, relationships, and health…

Cultivating steadiness… through short daily practices, mindful pauses, and intentional breath… reduces distraction, improves clarity, and fosters wiser action…

In short, taming the Monkey mind is not about eliminating thought but about learning to direct attention with purpose…

That direction restores the natural flow of energy, sharpens perception, and brings greater ease to practice and to life…

So how is your monkey? Have you put a collar and leash on that playful teasing trouble maker?

All the Best!

26/01/2026

Food for Thought…

Me thinketh you protest too much…

This is an old saying that carries a lot of wisdom on resistance and the result of resisting too much…

"Me thinketh you protest too much," the river whispers to the stone…

Those who shout their refusal to be moved reveal themselves… like the branch that thrashes to prove it can withstand the wind, only to be snapped…

The Dao teaches not that one should never resist, but that resistance must be measured as water measures the shore…

Water meets the mountain and, over ages, smooths rather than smashes… it yields and thus endures…

When a person resists everything… opinions, change, emotion, correction… resistance hardens into habit…

Habit becomes fortress, and the fortress separates one from the flowing world…

What one protects is often the very thing that decays within… pride, fear, a story of self…

Yet to yield is not to be undone…

There is a wise resistance… a soft but clear boundary that lets useless forces pass while holding what is essential…

The reed bends in storm but roots itself in the mud… So a sage will refuse coercion, deceit, and cruelty with calm refusal.. he withdraws from contention that buys only vanity, and leans in where life opens to mutual growth…

This is resistance with rhythm… like thunder that follows the lake's readiness, not thunder that breaks everything…

Resisting too much exalts an ego that mistakes struggle for virtue…

The loud protestant proclaims their virtue by opposing others… the act becomes theatre…

The Daoist sees the emptiness behind the clamor and asks… who benefits?

Resistance without discernment scatters energy….

It makes allies into opponents, truth into dogma, and movement into standstill…

Better to practice awareness and attention… notice why you resist….

Is it to guard what is useful, or to keep a shape of yourself you fear losing?

Practice small withdrawals and small commitments… test the current before building a dam..

Let sincerity guide action… let timing decide force… If the world opens, step forward… If it closes, retreat and refine…

The wise rejoice not in resisting all, but in aligning rightly…

They celebrate the clarity that comes when one’s resistance is no longer reflex, but a chosen, gentle force… like water shaping stone by patient care…

In such balance, protest becomes silent integrity… resistance becomes compassionate strength…

In meetings and household quarrels alike, practice the small ways… step back, breathe, speak less, listen more…

Over time these practices move mountains not by striking but by opening paths… the soft insistence of truth finds its way daily…

All the Best!

24/01/2026

Food for Thought…

Fellowship with Others…

Sincere, discerning fellowship around a shared center fosters harmony…

Hexagram 13 of the I Ching, commonly called Fellowship with Men (Tong Ren), points to the power and peril of gathering…

Its heart is social… the image is a circle of people around a common center… a ruler, a fire, a purpose…

The hexagram speaks to the truth that humans flourish only partly alone… our undertakings gain shape and momentum when hearts and hands join in a shared task…

But gathering is not automatic virtue… the quality of fellowship depends on clarity of aim, mutual trust, and the character of those who join…

At its best, Hexagram 13 advises sincerity and simplicity…

Fellowship should arise from honest intention, not from calculation or craving for power…

When motives are pure, small beginnings can build a strong community…

A leader’s role is modest… to set the tone by example, to give direction without coercion, and to preserve harmony by valuing each member’s place…

Rituals of courtesy and clear agreements help prevent misunderstandings… regular, calm communication aligns hearts…

Beware two linked dangers…

First, inclusion without discernment can invite discord… when those who gather have conflicting aims or hidden ambitions, the group fragments…

Second, attachment to the group as a source of identity can blind members to virtue… fellowship must not become an echo chamber that suppresses conscience…

Thus Tong Ren calls for both openness and discrimination… welcome those who share the purpose, but do not sacrifice principle for numbers…

Timing matters…

This hexagram favors initiative in social and political projects, coalition-building, and collective work… but only when the situation is ready for cooperation…

If external conditions are unsettled, wait and cultivate virtue and clarity within before expanding your circle…

In personal life, it signals reconciliation, new friendships, or partnership… in leadership or work, it urges building alliances through integrity rather than ambition…

Practically… clarify the center that binds people… a shared value, task, or service…

Keep ceremonies and agreements simple so trust can grow…

Encourage speaking plainly… listen as much as you speak… When conflict arises, return to the shared center and test options against the common good rather than individual advantage…

In divination, Hexagram 13 points you toward relationships and alliances as the path ahead…

Ask… Who shares my aim? What unites us? What must I do to be trustworthy?

Act with humility, cultivate sincerity, and let fellowship be a living practice that strengthens both the self and the community…

In you fellowship with others today… and going forward… remember these virtues of relationship with others…

All the Best!

23/01/2026

Food for Thought…

When you stop moving… you start dying…

“To stop moving is to begin dying” is not a doom but a clear notice from the Way of Nature…

The Dao is movement… the river carving the valley, the breath entering and leaving, the seasons turning…

Life is breathing change…

To arrest motion is to invite stagnation… in the body, in the mind, in the spirit… and with stagnation comes narrowing, hardening, and the loss of responsiveness that is the signature of life…

Physically, movement is circulation…

Qi lives in flow… when the body rests without rhythm for too long, channels cool and resist…

Walk like a pilgrim, bend like a reed, practice slow forms that train suppleness rather than force…

Simple daily motion… a few breaths drawn long, a sunward stretch, gentle tai chi or qigong… keeps the vessels open, the joints lubricated, and the senses alive…

Movement need not be violent… in the Daoist view the soft and continuous wins where sudden power blunts itself… Move steadily, lightly, like water bypassing a stone…

Mentally, movement is curiosity and adaptation…

A rigid mind clings to fixed stories and becomes brittle…

Study the classics, listen to others, test your assumptions in the world…

Let thought be like a wind that visits rather than a fortress that must be defended…

Question with humility… change opinion when better evidence appears…

The wise keep their minds mobile so they can perceive the fold of circumstances and respond without needless friction…

Spiritually, movement is refinement and surrender…

Cultivation is not a static possession but an ongoing transformation: letting go of attachment, softening identification, letting the self be reshaped by the Dao…

Spiritual movement shows as a readiness to be moved by compassion, grief, wonder…

It is the turning inward to renew roots and the turning outward to bear fruit…

Ritual, breath-work, and periods of dynamic meditation move the subtle energies and prevent the soul from congealing into pride or fear…

Balance stillness and motion… stillness to gather, motion to express…

Like a tree that drinks in the quiet of winter and erupts in spring, we alternate grounding and forward flow…

Remember… motion need not be frantic… Let your movement be continuous, wise, and humane…

In that way you honor the Dao… neither frozen nor frantic, but alive and responsive, keeping death at bay through the simple, persistent art of movement…

All the Best!

Food for Thought…

Peace… that elusive quality in life called peace…

How do you arrive at this quality within you and within your life…

It’s already there… all you need to do is open the door and let it’s brightness shine through…

Peace in the Daoist way is not seized as a prize but welcomed like sunlight through an open door….

It is a quality that grows when we stop forcing the river and learn to move with its current…

To arrive at peace within and in life, first practice stillness… Sit quietly each morning and evening… watch the breath as it rises and falls… In that simple attention the mind loosens its grip on worry and desire, and the heart remembers its original calm…

Cultivate wu-wei… action without frantic striving… or forcing… never force…

Choose work that matches your nature and do it with care, not with the desperate energy of proving yourself…

When difficulty or opposition arises, respond softly rather than harden…

The soft can bend and endure… the hard breaks…

Speak little, listen much… Words often scatter peace; silence gathers it…

Simplify… Reduce needless wants, possessions, and schedules…

The fewer the distractions, the less the mind must manage, and the clearer the space for peace…

Let your home be uncluttered… let your meals be modest… let your days include time for rest and simple pleasures…

This paring away returns you to ziran… naturalness… where life unfolds without constant forceful correction…

Guard the center of your life… protect your body, calm your emotions, steady your intention…

Preserve your jing and cultivate qi with moderate exercise, breath work, and proper sleep…

When anger or fear arises, acknowledge it as a passing weather and do not make a permanent home for it… do not cling… don not celebrate that strong emotion…

Practice compassion toward yourself; peace grows when self-criticism is replaced by gentle care…

Keep company carefully… Spend time with those who reflect calm and honesty…

In leadership, rule by example and quiet stewardship rather than loud reform…

Small acts of usefulness and kindness, made without fanfare, rebuild trust and ease friction in relationships…

Observe cycles and be patient… Seasons change… so do fortunes and conflicts…

Stagnation can be a teacher… use times of blocked exchange to refine skills, study, and inner virtue… skills must be developed, refined, and cultivated…

Do not force openings… prepare for them… Trust that by conserving strength and maintaining integrity you will be ready when the moment turns…

Finally, remember that peace is not escape but alignment… alighnment with something that is already yours…

It is the art of meeting life as it is… the bright and the painful… with an open chest, soft hands, and a quiet step… acceptance and respect…

In that way the Dao fills your life like water filling a bowl… effortlessly, naturally, and wholly… we must empty the bowl so that it can be filled with the life giving water of peace…

It is in these ways that we allow the bright light of peace shine the way to something that is already within you…

All the Best!
