Qi Gong Ritual practice strengthens and opens the body, the mind and the spirit. I tend to focus on the “body” or health aspects of Qi Gong because that is what I was studying when I learned Qi Gong. It is not my main focus, however, it is the place where I seem to always start because it is where I began my relationship with Qi Gong. With my regular practice of the Qi Gong 18 Style Ritual, I have cultivated a greater awareness of my mind and spirit.
Just this morning I was fretting over what I had labeled a problem. The solutions were spinning in my head, like the wheel of fortune. Which to choose? What will work? You know the internal conversation. Well, in the midst of thinking I could do “this”, which was a solution (pattern) I have used in the past, a light came on. A teacher I studied with last year simply said to me, as if he was standing with me: “How Is That Serving You?” Bam! I realized that I have used that “solution” in the past and it didn’t solve the problem, it simply postponed it. I knew then that I Must Change my approach, find a new and different solution to move beyond the “problem”.
I have not yet decided the actual course of action, however I know it will come to me. Thanks to my Qi Gong practice and the choices I make there, I know that correct action will be taken which will enable me to move forward and not have to deal with this “problem” any longer. I will have changed my solution, solved the problem and learned a lesson.
I think this is Spirit in action. My awareness of Spirit expands more and more over the years as I do the regular Ritual Practice of Qi Gong 18 Style.
