Zen/Kung fu in daily life
Dear Brothers and Sisters
I would like to hear from you, if and how you occupy yourself with spiritual cultivation and what kind of experiences you have made with Zen/Kung fu in daily live.
I know these are two issues but at least for me they’re not dividable anymore.
************************************************** ******
I’ll start off with my own;
About a year ago I started worshiping Buddha and GuanYin and reciting some Mantras before my Kung Fu Training in the morning. The effect of which is that I could go into qi flow immediately but mostly I save it for later.
About two month ago I started meditating for approx. 15min. in single lotus position after my Kung fu training and my live has changed abruptly and fundamentally
1. Easily said; I’m as cool as a cucumber, I can’t even remember when I was upset or annoyed although it isn’t so far away, it seems like if even the memory of these feelings have been deleted. In People I really disliked before I’m now able to find something positive or at least they don’t touch me anymore.
2. I walk through live with a deep feeling of happiness and once in a while I catch myself smiling from the heart. Sometimes I feel a deep indescribable affinity with everything creeping and crawling and with all unscented things (stones, plants, streets, cars, lampposts etc.etc.).
3. From time to time when I give a gentle thought I can merge with what I am doing at the moment, like melting with the action, at least that’s how it feels.
There would be lots of examples but here’s a recent one; I was just cutting tomatoes. A gentle thought “be here, now” appeared and it felt like if as I was me, the knife and the tomato that’s being cut. There really was a physical feeling and nearly no thoughts anymore.
4. I believe that Dan tian breathing appears sometimes when I meditate, but I’m not sure, I just don’t worry and enjoy myself. The course with Sigung in august will show if it is…
This is more than enough from me
, now I’d like to hear from you
.
Kind regards Pat
