Alchemy of Taiji seminar
What role is assigned to mind work in Taiji Quan? What is the real meaning of internal work?
When performing taiji forms, more often than not we do not actually activate our consciousness at all. It gets activated only at the first level of teaching, when we are learning the movements, studying the form, etc. As a result, we simply memorize the sequence of movements. And that is the best we can do when our consciousness is still working. When the sequence is already remembered, then we start to follow for this condition in our emotions and, most importantly, we start growing it.
We actually start swinging around the qi energy, without understanding its nature and real task. It is very important to realize that this kind of energy will never give us power. We need completely another type of energy. Qi energy is needed only for the restoration of our body, but in order to develop it – we need a transformed and distilled energy. In fact, this is the real meaning of internal work.
Although when we seem to be ready to start dealing with internal work, it turns out that we lack sufficient power in his consciousness or power of concentration, since we had swung around this qi energy in such a way that it already controls his consciousness, and becomes unable even to focus. For instance, we are doing some movement… Take attention to the fact that the level of focusing of your consciousness in that moment is being lost. It the best case, it will stay for 10-15 min, because right after the Chi energy starts to get increased and the blood pours into the brain (especially if we are making a movement in an incorrect rhythm), the brain, in reality, gets unlocked. The head is just following for the movements and man falls into a passive expectation of the moment when some miracle happens…
Having not learnt how to focus it is impossible to rebuild yourself, since rebuilding represents a more precise idea, where we change the vibration of our physical body into the ideas, which we have already accustomed to. Only after we have changed and rebuilt our body, we can get started with its reorganization and transformation, which in fact is the actual alchemy. It is impossible to start alchemical work, without having changed your body first.
