    The Coherent Field Feel

    Live not to reach the rare. Live so that the rare can reach you. I am on a partial sabbatical until springtime Dhanur Veda:   Life, Pu erh tea, archery, sumo, … it is all the same. First minute or so of the YouTube video makes the point:    Yi Jin Jing: The 5 Second Trick to HEAL Your FASCIA Instantly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97JCkmEflxc Structure, containment, permission: In life, deliberate creates stable field structure and stable field in motion gives containment. the physiology gives permission. Impulsive creates leaks. Most of life’s richness is chased—money, max lifts, rare teas, expensive things. Yet the real art is quieter. Dhanurveda, archery of the Veda, teaches aim without bracing. Tea teaches steeping without forcing. Training teaches lifting without leaks. The coherent field isn’t something you build by tightening; it’s something you notice when you stop bracing long enough to feel it. I learned that the descent is part of the ascent. The field leaks when the pelvis isn’t contained. The pot muddies when the pour is delayed. Ritual doesn’t dictate direction; it seasons recognition. Recognition seasons ritual. Practice shapes preference; preference shapes practice. It goes both ways. Calm doesn’t mean relaxed. Calm means organized. The field carries the release when the geometry is held without bracing. Over months and years, repetition seasons both vessel and practitioner, until the rare can meet you—at the floor, in the cup, or in the marketplace—without effort. Coherence can be found in a walk, a warm bath, a quiet cup, or a lift held still during transitions. The ritual is personal. The field is universal. The teacher is recognition. You don’t chase the rare. You season the field so the rare can come to you. “Ritual sculpts taste; taste sculpts ritual.” A nice YouTube link: “The Art of Fascia Tensegrity: Moving Beyond Muscle in Tai Chi and Life” (for me, first two minutes felt enough). The mesh bag… fascia.  I am not an internal arts master. I am recognizing doors. Perhaps that is the most teachable stage of all.  Ultimately, it is not about doors.  It is about the room.  But then, the doors are forgotten. Recognition leads to no leaks. Support the show

    Opening and Closing the Gate

    why this is valuable for everyone if they exercise or not being merging knowing and doing Root → Align → Open → Drive Dhanurveda: the Spanda phases calm means organized dr shen no such thing as chakras learning how to move. sumo [horse stance] then motion under weight is the true test.. can not fake it geometry in motion under weight… multiple moves too soon put focus on external dr wang on youtube.. question if it is even real? long routines can be external training with minimal internal focus cultivating CNS. fascia, muscle integration.  proper exercise is not about the muscle but indirectly CNS gives permission, Fascia [silk web] regulates the flow, muscle follows. Dhanurveda: power arising when geometry is recognized as safe life in the physical is the art of archery silk reeling web… fascia fascia snags… not muscle knots reading.. i remember Mantak Chia books showed spirals microcosmic orbit as overlay discover it… do not overlay it hara “location"… pressure… place where fascia planes meet all movement come through the hara—center of fascia planes dan tien… first chakra the doors are not the room doors are just valuable gateways but forgotten once in the room at age 75 realizing i needed another 20 years to finish Mt Soma started working out watching diet lead to sumo. watched and listened to western dead lifters [Natasha Auguy, Stefi Cohen], realized mapping to internal arts while clarifying them via another angle [reality].  Support the show

    The Ancient Internal Art of Transformation

    Parasympathetic Reorganization I have been studying the works of ancient internal arts masters. At first not as an area of interest but as a need for understanding of what was happening to me. This has become the topic of a book I am in the process of writing. I discuss it here not only because I need to for myself, but also to offer some insight particularly for those who are around me. I know they have been concerned and are wondering. They deserve some explanation. This is not emotional processing. It is not a psychological revelation. It is an ancient physiological art of unwinding that I am in the process of learning—of experiencing. The vehicle that I stumbled upon is Sumo. But the principles are universal and I believe essential for everyone. I used to think calm meant relaxed. What I’m learning is that calm means organized. And when organization replaces bracing, there’s often a period where the old guard exits noisily. Process / Phase Parasympathetic reorganization Autonomic rebalancing Nervous system unwinding Protective pattern release Defensive tone dissolution Baseline reset System recalibration What’s dissolving Residual bracing Chronic readiness Guardedness Stored vigilance Latent fight-or-flight Structural holding patterns What it feels like Edginess Irritability without narrative Rawness Unbuffered sensation Reduced emotional insulation Heightened sensitivity What’s actually happening Pressure redistribution Continuity re-establishing Load sharing improving CNS trust updating Old safety strategies retiring What replaces it Quiet coherence Structural confidence Unforced strength Baseline steadiness Distributed support Important clarifiers Not emotional processing Not catharsis Not regression Not instability Not something to induce Anchor phrases “The system is reorganizing.” “Old strategies are letting go.” “The body is updating its sense of safety.” “This is physiology, not psychology.” “Calm is arriving through organization, not relaxation.” Support the show
