First I wanted to say that the Five-Animal Play continues to produce excellent results for me. Guess if I'm really happy and feeling full of vitality right now?
~ Asking for Healing ~
When going to Sigung's courses earlier this year, I had contemplated asking for him to relieve some of my tension spots in my face or right shoulder. Then after seeing Roland Sipak working with his acupuncture needles during the Helsinki Chi Kung courses I also considered whether I should consult him and see if he could alleviate some of my blockages. I never did though.
It was certainly a mental blockage, no doubt, that I didn't even ask for any help. Nevertheless, when reflecting about my anxiety and uncertainty about asking for healing aid, I must say that I hadn't had a clear picture why I should really ask for an expert's intervention. These problems are bothersome, but individually nothing which greatly hinders everyday life.
I had known for many years that these tensions are mostly related to my distorted body posture, although I wasn't keeping awarness of that since starting with Chi Kung. Maybe my heart knew that I needed holistic healing and not just removing few blockages as I had imagened? Despite not asking may not have given me some extra comfort I could've gotten, it has now given me the invaluable insight that healing is almost always a holistic concern with no clear shortcuts. That insight I find more valueable than having few acupoints cleared to some unknown healing effect.
This all returns to an observation I had recently made: Asking good questions is a profound skill worthy of true masters. Otherwise we are just fools asking silly questions that lack the correct timing, context, and effect.
With sincere respect,
Olli
