[WAG] How is everyone?

Tue Jan 8 12:06:15 PST 2008

Hello all!
It is really good to hear from people. I'm attaching pictures in the 
hopes you all will too.
My practice (work) was going really well then  I had an injury. I 
summoned it..most likely. Blew out my knee...a good one!

 I have been delving into pain and its language and what it means or 
not. Like Wei Wu Wei talks about bondage. I have clients who come back 
often with the same "pain" I tune up the meridians and off they go happy 
as clams and sooner or later they are back with the same pain. Instead 
of coming to me for a "fix" I started teaching them through meditation.
So I wondered what can be done to free up this chronic ...probably shen 
disturbance...... Go to the shen...

Through years and years of residue built up on the shen/mind I'm saying 
the good, the bad, and the ugly...all of it. All the things that block 
the vision of the shen. When the shen/mind tries to see around the 
residue of our thoughts it can't so pain arises in an effort to clear 
the path. With my clients I have been teaching how /no thought./..even 
for a brief moment can start opening a vision for the shen to see through.

Our bodies are habitual so it is like walking through fog in a forest 
you can't see the change right away.

The most difficult residue to give up are the good traits, the things 
that protected us from harm as a child. The protection of the shen is 
imperative for a child to survive. Once we have grown up it is part of 
how we view the world. We don't know any other way to view the world so 
it is like wearing sunglasses against the sun it hurts when you take it 
off...who wants to? But, If it is attaching to something it is bondage.

As people start "awakening" this gets hard for me and those who I am 
confirming landmarks to because it exposes the shen which was covered 
before. A slower process is better for this reason. People want to run 
back to cover... the liver (hun) flares up.... the zhi,yi and po...the 
entire five-element system shifts and it ....hurts..guess what I want to 
do as a health provider? I want to take pain away....I can do that..but 
it doesn't ultimately help..So how do I tell my clients i can't take 
their pain away I want them to listen to their pain? I have to go back 
into that forest of pain myself.

So i went under the knife. no pain medicine(they did a mild sedative for 
insurance purposes)...wasn't easy to get the doctors to do this.

Armed with "no arms" they invaded my wei qi and i was able to watch 
without watching feel without feeling....you know all the catch-22 
phrases that one can think of! I was suppose to have crutches for six 
weeks but use them a day. I was walking well in four days thanks to 
taiji walking! I did this in pain with something I can't call it 
entirely meditation but a strange co-operation, a taiji so to speak. I 
have so often wanted to escape my body and go ....into the oblivion but 
damn it I have a body and now it is becoming a team member a yin to the 
yang a yang to the yin. the noumen and phenomenon.
I'm thinking it is like a spinning top when the two spin in harmony they 
are no longer dualistic but one!Why do we need these bodies anyway?

 Forgive me if anyone got through that...That was a a lot of thought for 
no thoughts!!
any way, the pics are my taiji clothes i designed in ShenZhen. That is 
my daughter and husband. You can see his Chinese roots coming out...he 
is French but his father was a barefoot Daoist doctor in China...
Pleas write and send pictures....
Kelly
