Talking Qi. Regeneration Meditation Part 2
Premis Even if the body is at rest (if one is laying down), is the mind at rest? If the mind is captured in thoughts, memories, or emotions one is in movement and not at rest. If one cannot guide the mind to stillness one cannot rest completely. In this case, the mind is consuming your energy. This is the case if you ever find yourself thinking in bed, unable to sleep. To optimize rest and recovery, the physical (yang) and mental (yin) must harmonize to create conditions for optimal rest. When the yin and yang can both rest, then we can regenerate, restore, and recharge. *in this guided facilitation we show you how to bring the mind to stillness. Searching the depths of the Yin guides us to the root, essence. Yin is the formless the insubstantial. It is profound stillness, unlimited emptiness. It is the source of all possibilities. When we dip our toes into deep Yin we are stimulated to dive in, plunge, immerse the self into this emptiness. This complete stillness is the ultimate, most profound movement of all. And it should follow us in our physical movements, honoring truth, nature and existence. After much movement, we return to this stillness also known as Wuji. Question Can you reach the Yin side?? Do you know mind of no mind? Can you feel YinYang? These are prerequisites of regeneration, rest, and recovery. What is YinYang? Origin, purpose, message How can it help us? We look at movement and rest in the framework of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are often seen as apposing, yet they are complimentary of one another to sustain a wholistic perspective. Like night and day can be seen as apposing, those two phases make one, unified cycle. Similarly our movement of the day is halted by our rest in the night to sustain the cycle. Have you ever experienced difficulties in coming to complete rest? Have you ever awoke in the night, unable to resume sleep? Has the mind ever kept you awake by running various thoughts, memories, or imagined scenarios on a loop, keeping you awake? We must attend to the energy which persists, impeding the sleep cycle, and how to work with it to seize it, slow it down and tease it into state of rest. With the mind and the body both at rest, the conditions are met for Regeneration. We get the smooth function of processes which provide cell repair and elimination of waste. What is Wuji? What is Taiji? Most people are familiar with the Yin-Yang Symbol. Whenever we speak of Yin and Yang, we musn’t omit Wuji or Taiji. We know that in this earth realm, all living things and beings experience the existence spectrum through the main events of life and death. All which experience life, must experience death. Like night and day, life and death may seem to be apposed, yet let’s remember that they are unified as one cycle. So sometimes we may ask, is it two or is it one? Are they separated or unified? And what is the mother of Yin and Yang? We refer to Taiji theory which says that Taiji is generated from Wuji, and it is a pivotal function of movement and stillness. It is the mother of Yin and Yang. When it moves it divides and at rest, it reunites. https://www.patreon.com/posts/regeneration-2-56177848?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copy_to_clipboard&utm_campaign=postshare
