key words.. on some level

some can argue that performing a controlled movement of the body demonstrates awareness of the mind / body connection, and they woudln't be wrong. a mastery of this connection, however, requires much more.

take Qi (chi, ki, prana, life force, whatever you wanna call it), it is unclear whether qi is a part of the body, mind, or a seperate entity on its own. through careful cultivation (or development.. insert synonym here) of that mind / body connection or awareness and control of qi there have been several documented occasions in which martial arts masters have been able to perform incredible acts through the control of qi... for example i have been knocked back on my ass by a sifu who simply flicked me with his index fingers... i have seen a sifu who was able to bring so much qi to the palms of his hand that it was better than any heating pad i have ever felt, it would have been painfully hot if my muscle wasn't already in pain .. .this would be awareness of the mind /body connection on a different level. there are legends of healing masters who could perform miraculous healings through their mastery of qi by using a single acupuncture needle to direct and remove evil qi, without even piercing the skin of the patient. again, another level completely

to put it quite simply and on a much smaller scale, somebody who has a great ability at something requiring concentration and great body control, like slackline or martial arts, is going to be on a different level than somebody who, say, spends most of thier time sitting there watching tv or something as far as the mind/ body connection is concerned

does that make a little more sense?
i must learn, is there anything you, yourself can give me to go on?

FOR ANYONE WHO MEDITATES I'm afraid my hindrances in meditation are due to being high, should I try to not smoke a few hours before meditation to clear my mind up? I heard having impurities in the body can disturb your ability to connect with your inner entity.. is this true? Rating: 5
