The Principle of Correspondence brings us perhaps the most well-known Hermetic axiom, "As above, so below." This axiom provides profound insight into the function of reality as well as the internal martial arts.

In this third article of our series on the Seven Hermetic Principles and their relationship to the alchemical path and the internal martial arts, we turn our attention to the second principle: the Principle of Correspondence. It is most famously summarized in the Hermetic axiom:“As above, so below...

Discover how your words can transform your future.

Reality as a Participatory ProcessReality is often spoken of as though it were a finished object—solid, external, and waiting to be discovered. Yet across philosophical, psychological, and esoteric traditions, another understanding quietly persists: reality is not merely encountered, it is partici...

One of the core prerequisites of the path of internal cultivation is an abandonment of the materialist worldview. Matter is formed Mind. Mind gives form to Matter.

In this second article of our series exploring the Seven Hermetic Principles, we begin with the first—and most fundamental—of them all: The Principle of Mentalism. This principle is placed first for a reason. It establishes the very ground upon which all other principles rest and defines our und...

What’s Really Happening Inside Slow Movement

To the untrained eye, authentic Taiji looks like a relaxed flowing dance.

Internally, something very different is happening.

Each movement requires:
• Precise balance of muscular tone
• Opening and closing of joints
• Conditioning of tendons and fascia
• Regulation of pressure and fluids
• Continuous integration of breath and intent

This is why real internal practice is mentally and physically exhausting, despite its gentle appearance.

Softness is not weakness—it is highly organized strength.

Self-awareness is often talked about as a buzzword in self-help, but at its core, it is one of the most powerful tools for real and lasting personal transformation. Simply put, self-awareness is the ability to notice what is happening inside you—your thoughts, emotions, habits, and reactions—and...

How many times have you seen a video from a health or fitness influencer promoting the latest "secret" or the "one thing" you need to do to get the results you've been after?

These ads based on novelty and excitement are designed to prey upon the laziness and lack of will that drives people to seek out quick fixes and results without effort.

This is exactly the wrong mentality to have when approaching the alchemical arts, including meditation, qigong, neigong, Taiji, and yoga. In fact, it is one of the primary flaws we are working to eliminate.

Alchemy is the path of forging through fire. There is no room for quick fixes or short attention spans.

https://www.wholeo-awakening.com/post/against-the-quick-path-why-internal-cultivation-requires-time-effort-and-depth

Practitioners of meditation, qigong, and Taijiquan face a challenge that is uniquely modern. We live in a culture increasingly shaped by speed, convenience, and immediacy. Information is compressed into fragments. Attention is fragmented into seconds. The slow processes of reading, contemplation, an...

“Song” Does Not Mean What You Think

One of the most misunderstood concepts in internal arts is Song.

It is often translated as “relaxation,” but this is misleading.
Song means release.

The release of chronic tension that blocks proper function of:
• Muscles
• Fascia
• Joints
• Fluids
• Organs

This is not passive.
It is precise, controlled, and demanding work.

True Song requires awareness, discipline, and refinement—not collapse.

The internal cultivation and martial arts require an understanding of alchemical worldview in order to attain the greatest benefits. Not imaginary play, but real and practical techniques melding the physical and the spiritual.
https://www.wholeo-awakening.com/post/entering-the-alchemical-worldview-a-foundation-for-internal-cultivation

As students step onto the path of Taijiquan, Qigong, Neigong, meditation, yoga, or related internal arts, one of the greatest challenges they encounter is not physical—it is conceptual. These arts did not arise merely as systems of movement or exercise. They were born within complete worldviews: l...

Natural Law Does Not Negotiate

Alchemy is not political.
It is lawful.

Cause and effect.
Action and reaction.
Belief and outcome.

The body responds to thought.
The nervous system responds to intent.
Life responds to alignment.

You cannot affirm your way around natural law, nor blame your way out of its consequences. Right belief leads to right action. Right action leads to optimal results.

This is not judgment—it is physics applied to consciousness.

Internal power comes from obedience to law, not rebellion against it.

Getting in tune with yourself is a key component of accurately assessing your health. Being disconnected and oblivious, as many are, can lead only to detrimental outcomes.
https://www.wholeo-awakening.com/post/learning-to-listen-inward-how-to-assess-your-health-through-self-awareness

One of the most overlooked skills in modern health culture is the ability to accurately sense oneself. Surrounded by constant stimulation, notifications, and external demands, many people have lost contact with their own internal state. They track steps, calories, and sleep cycles, yet remain strang...

Relaxation Is Only the Beginning

The fact that qigong and Taiji improve balance, reduce stress, and support neurological health even at the beginner level speaks to their immense power.

But here’s the key point:

Those benefits arise from preparatory practice, not the core work.

True training begins after relaxation is established—when attention, structure, breath, and intent are refined together.

If all you do is relax, you’ve never truly started.
