Being calm and composed

By -

In the midst of life's turmoil

deep inside, an island of tranquility,
an ocean of composure,
gentle waves and a light breeze,
a quiet heart and an alert mind,
grow from conscious acting.

Sense and nonsense, side by side,
treasuring and paying attention to small things,
but don't lose yourself in details,
pondering, awaiting, the darkness clears,
light falls onto your path and shines for you.

Set your gaze to the aim and go forward.

Does it make sense to learn historic qigong ?

Yes, this is how to learn something about qigong. Examples explain for whom and to what purpose. Example The wooden draisine, the dandy-horse, a forerunner of the bycicle has no pedals, no backpedal brake. The later penny-farthing had no gear, one wheel rotation of the large wheel, a much longer track than that of a small wheel. A modern bike has backpedal brake, pedals, chain, gear, so you can select the transmission as for a large or a small wheel, the real wheel size loses importance. For small children we also have dandy-horses today. Thus they are trained early for a bike. Example The original pommel horse on the Hasenheide looked different from today's, also the gymnastic clothing. Shirts and pants in stripes are not customary today. The materials are different, for apparatus and clothing. Result For show events it can be very nice. Everyone enoys seeing a penny-farthing in motion or a team of gymnasts in striped clothing. As with the dandy-

Zhineng Qigong – Support Dr. Pang Ming!

What's up? - Someone from the Netherlands wants to reserve the word Zhineng for his exclusive use. First in Europe - and then where? - You know how it is. This hinders the spreading of Zhineng Qigong. Dr. Pang Ming cannot get involved from China. He created Zhineng Qigong and has the sole rights. We have to help him. „Zhineng Qigong“ whether in one word or in several parts. This term should be free for general use and remain so for each student, future or present teacher. It is as if you would block a letter from the alphabet and you are not allowed to use it. This concerns all of us. Write in your mother tongue. Make your opposition known. Just mention the application no. 008888621 in Latin characters so that the office knows to which file you are referring. Call it “Observations by third party” (free of charge) and refer to article 7 for the grounds for refusal. For an opposition the office charges a tax of 350 Euro. Write why this should n

Wallsquats - Dun Qiang Fa

A simple exercise to straighten out the body. Small children squat naturally - even for long time. From school age on we hardly squat. So we lose this capability again. As adults we can't do it any more. This is due to modern lifestyle. With the wallsquats we can learn to do it again and get back to former agility. Although the motion sequence is very simple, many mistakes are possible. We need the checking of a good teacher. With muscle power you can only do a few wallsquats. When the movement is done with qi, many repetitions are possible. A good teacher knows how to do the movement with qi and can explain it in detail. These were some additional exercises that are known in the Zhineng Qigong system. Further exercises will not be explained here.
