Using Chinese Techniques For Your Health And StrengthWritten by Roy Thomsitt
Chi Kung and T'ai Chi are only two of keys to self trust and to physical harmony. With use of these techniques you can succeed with many accomplishments, without having to put yourself through great psychological or physical efforts, violent conflicts or aggression. You may be sure that, once you dominate genuine laws of universe, which you assimilate by these methods, it will be impossible for you to be dominated by someone else.Chi Kung – art of internal harmony Chi Kung is a philosophical system at least 5000 old, which made survived through all those centuries, to become very popular at beginning of this millennium. This art of vital energy is most advanced and complex method of improving health and longevity, by offering a feeling of harmony with yourself and with surrounding world. The four main principles of this technique are: mind, eyes, movement and breathing. The mind represents intention, eyes are considered focusing of intention, movement is action of intention and breathing is flood of intention. It obviously takes time and practice to understand their dynamics fully. The benefits which result from practicing Chi Kung can be divided into five: 1. Curing illnesses, and a general improvement in health; 2. Gaining an increase in vitality, and development of your internal force; 3. Prolonging youth; 4. Cultivation of mind and intellectual capacities; and, 5. Spiritual progress. According to Chinese medicine, various diseases can be result of such human characteristics as anger, sadness, joy, harmony and optimism deficit. All these factors, coupled with poor diet and nourishment, cause Chiu – vital energy – either to diminish, or to be present in only certain parts of your body. By practicing Chi Kung you can learn to be more conscious of what’s going on in your inner universe, and to build yourself a defensive system against disequilibrium, which affects your vital force.
| | Habits and SuccessWritten by Carole Pagan
I got a big reminder over last couple of weeks about what happens when you let your good habits slip - and how easy it is to fall into trap of being overwhelmed. This week when I am getting back into habit of having dishes cleaned up before I go to bed, eating healthy, and actually getting to bed at a reasonable hour, I am seeing again what a difference it makes in my productivity. We all get in those periods in our life when we feel like we're accomplishing a lot more by letting other things slide - when actually opposite is true. When you let housework slide, work you have to put into getting things back in order is horrendous. Though you think you're saving time by grabbing some fast-food, you're really not saving much time and you're cutting your energy reserves down when you need them most. When you push yourself to work that last couple of hours, even though you could pass out any minute - you're working much slower and making more mistakes. If you go to bed and get rest you need, work would get done much faster. Funny how these things work, isn't it? So as tempted as I've been to let my business slide for a couple of days, I won't. I don't want to get in that habit. I don't have to put in 8 - 10 - 12 hours everyday, but there are things that need to be done everyday.
