Qigong Dispels Fear and Wakes You Up
With Qigong, breathing is deeper and athletic. It’s an awesome workout too. All the muscles in the body are engaged, totally hooked into the core. When standing in Qigong, there are subtle micro-movements going on all the time: small, settling shifts throughout the body, because we are alive.
In Qigong postures act as a catalyst to make life more manageable. By standing still, physical and mental injuries are very apparent; they are however, more manageable. My enemies are right there, and distractions are for the moment, limited. They face me straight on and I have nowhere to run, because I’m standing still. I must face them.
My Internal Enemies:
- Procrastination—just do it. I know I’ll feel awesome when practice Qigong.
- Thinking I don’t have enough time, this is a combination of lassitude and overwhelm, this is a habit I created somewhere down the line that shuts down all activity and creates anxiety. Qigong is great for this, because I can just get up and take a pose.
- FEAR or False Evidence Appearing Real: such as waking up injuries as I stand and trusting that my energy is healing them.
By being grounded in reality I can trust my process, and leave my illusions…and my enemies…behind.
