One of the basic principles from
Yoga / Qigong from
Practice is like this from
Prana [energy, vitality, from
Qi] subsequently from
Knowledge [mind, intention, focus]. You can test this by closing your eyes [after reading the rest of this paragraph] and then placing your attention/focus on one of your hands [such as your left hand]. : When you inhale and exhale, think about giving a touch of love, kindness or happiness [or some other qualities of improvement] in your left hand. Breathing and focusing in this way, in your left hand, a minute or two... and pay attention to what happened, pay attention to how from
feel The hand began to morph because it was "filled" with love/joy/goodness. Maybe you will notice that it feels a bit warm, or notice the stinging feeling, or the heavy feeling, or the feeling that the fingers are a little swollen. Maybe the hand will start to sweat or feel cold or cold. Everyone's experience will be different. But our various experiences may have one thing in common, that is, we will notice that our left hand has become almost magically "alive" ~ we can from
feel It works in a clearer and more direct way.
What we have just experienced is "prana follows citta": we put our mind/focus/cital on our left hand, which produces a flow of energy [prana] into the hand, creating a new one. Effective feeling, some kind. We believe that this principle works in all aspects of our lives: when we focus on something [project, our work, relationships], our energy flows into this activity, and it tends to grow... ..
At that time, part of the yoga/qigong practice process was increasingly aware of this mechanism because we were able to use it in a way that supported our practice. One aspect of "paradox" from
Prana&citta While this relationship can serve us in a powerful and enjoyable way, it can also be our biggest nemesis when unconsciously operating. For energy flow is not just our domain/mode from
conscious Choose to focus, but also focus on the domain/mode mentality /from
Knowledge We unknowingly "focus" and thus continue/give energy. these are from
Samskaras [Our work/game] is unlocked [consciously] in our practice environment.
Another paradoxical aspect of this relationship is that the reciprocal of the original "formula" can also be correct, that is, not only "prana follows citta" [the basis of the Yuen Method work], but also the case of citta. / Mind can follow [affected or shaped] prana / energy. This is why asana practice, as well as any form of energy - the body "treatment" [such as acupuncture or aura], can not only change our body and pranic body, but also, in the process, change the mental model ~ can transfer our The overall view or "attitude" and then [by cycling back to the original formula] have a new impact on our energy agency...
Therefore, once we can bring the body, mind and breathing [such as the beautiful golden weave] into a conscious relationship as a practitioner, what is the most skilled way to use this yoga habit: prana follows citta [and citta follows prana ] ? Here, we once again discover the paradox... On the one hand, we don't want to always choose to focus on support/"feeding" only "positive", only "good" or balanced or healthy? "Let your mind focus on positive" is a suggestion that forms the core of many yoga/yogis' daily lives and practices. However, if this is our only technology, how will the "negative" patterns [those that are causing serious damage from the unconscious level of our existence] be transformed?
At this point, Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh made the following recommendations to his students... He said that when we are beginners, we are best able to give energy, nourish and support healthy and balanced things. We are inside. Particularly valuable for cultivation is the Buddhist language known as "the energy of mindfulness" ~ spacious, energetic "awake" [completely awakened citta]. Then, we use the energy of this mindfulness to "touch" or nourish [to draw attention] the "positive" qualities we want to enhance. If we can focus our attention on positive aspects on a regular basis, then we will notice that many of our "negative" qualities will be attracted to our attention rather than being "fed". "~ It is very natural to dissolve...
But not all! That's why as we become more advanced in practice, our mindfulness becomes stronger, and starting to use our mindfulness energy to "touch" [or invite into our conscious mind] is not just the inner "positive" suitable. We, but also the more "negative" or "stuck" aspects of our bodies. So, for example, at this point ~ once our "mindfulness" is strong ~ we can choose to use our mindfulness to accept a psychological/emotional model called "anger"... and in the strong degree of our mindfulness Its energy will begin to transform, relax, and release those "anger" patterns. In the end, when our mindfulness is very bright... just illuminating its light onto these dark/stuck patterns is enough to "liberate" them immediately. [Like we turn on the lights, the "darkness" of the room is completely gone!]
As our practice becomes very advanced ~ our mindfulness energy is very bright, the weaving of the body, mind and breath is very coherent, smooth and fluid ~ our presence [awakened prana / citta] will begin to affect not only our "self" The body is also the body of the person who interacts with us... We are able to give the "others" wonderful [although not always "happy"] gifts ~ a lovely form of service..... The resolved and unresolved paradox that has grown up...
