Wu Shan Flow work: Flow work used as an alternative to Tai Chi or meditation
Meditation is a word with a very wide meaning, I do not sit in a lotus position meditating, I meditate when im multi dimensionally viewing looking at other realms of dimensions that share the same space as us in the 3D world, im meditating then, im not in a cross legged kinda position humming or something, im dimensionally viewing,
Sometimes one could call meditation contemplation, sometimes i meditate and view all the variable timelines of possible outcomes to any given situation pre action as a moment of self council, Meditation has a very wide meaning, However meditation also helps to cure physical ailments, Now we use flow work to cure self as our alternative to Tai Chi example yesterday i had a severe migraine so i went outside in my garden and done my flow work, after half hour to an hour it went due to me doing flow work, I know flow work is the answer even though sometimes i find it hard to push myself to do it if im feeling rotten, For some reason it actually helps me recover everytime i feel bad, The recognisable commonality is the flow of energy movement and mind to heal self, very very similar to Tai Chi in concept and it works, Wu Shan did not discover this, only for self within our own system of combative sword as Eastern martial arts have their own forms of similar concept within many of their styles and systems also, In short if you feel ill or headache or need balancing and just need clarity of mind to think, go and flow , push yourself out there, and flow you will find you feel better after, its not a wonder cure for all things, but it is daily support for the daily hindrances and low energy vibrations that your physical self may be suffering

The three treasures
In the Taoist tradition the life is supported by three main pillars, these three pillars or compounds are important to lead a balanced and healthy life. The translation of these is very vague and every Taoist master might give you a slightly different response. This translation here is the classic version of Qi, Jing and Shen. Basically they can be translated as: Qi is energy building. Jing is energy saving and Shen has a lot to do with our nervous system and awareness.
Taoist masters use the knowledge of the three treasures to indicate their own life and help others by indicating their life problems. The three treasures are the basic principle for diagnostics in traditional chinese medicine. The real interpretation of the three treasures can be understood by collecting experience through self-awareness. This does include Qi Gong, Tai Chi and Kung Fu training.
Qi (Vitality)
Qi, the first Treasure, is the energy that creates our vitality. Through the constant interaction of Yin and Yang change is brought into being. Qi is the activity of Yin and Yang. Movement, functioning and thought is the result of Qi. The nature of Qiis to move. In the Three Treasures system includes both Energy and Blood. It nourishes and protects us. Qi is said to be produced as a result of the functions of the Lungs and Spleen. Therefore, Qi tonics strengthen the digestive, assimilative and respiratory functions.
When Qi condenses, it becomes Jing. Fast moving Qi is considered to be Yang while slow moving Qi is Yin. In the system of the Three Treasures, blood is considered to be a part of the Qi component of our being. Blood is said to be produced from the food ingested after the Qihas been extracted through the action of the Spleen. The red blood cells are said to be nutritive and are thus associated with the Ying Qi (Yin), while the white blood cells are protective and are associated with Wei Qi (Yang). Qi tonics are generally believed to have potent immune modulating activity. Qi tonics, composed of Energy and/or Blood tonics, increase our ability to function fully and adaptively as human beings.
Jing (Essence)
Jing is the second Treasure and is translated as “Regenerative Essence,” or simply as “Essence.” Jing is the refined energy of the body. It provides the foundation for all activity and is said to be the “root” of our vitality. Jing is the primal energy of life. It is closely associated with our genetic potential, and is associated with the aging process. Jing is stored energy and provides the reserves required to adapt to all the various stresses encountered in life. Since Jing is concentrated energy, it manifests materially. Jingalso is said to control a number of primary human functions: the reproductive organs and their various substances and functions; the power and clarity of the mind; and the integrity of one’s physical structure. Jing, which is a blend of Yin and Yang energy, is said to be stored in the “Kidney.” Jing is generally associated these days with the hormones of the reproductive and adrenal glands, andJing is the vital essence concentrated in the sperm and ova.
It is considered extremely difficult to enhance the original Jing after conception, although it is not at all difficult to deplete and weaken it, and thus to weaken and shorten one’s life. The only way to strengthen the originalJing is through specific highly sophisticated yogic techniques such as those developed by the Daoists and by consuming certain potent tonic herbs known as Jing tonics. The purpose of taking Jing tonic herbs is to maintain healthy levels of postnatal Jing. If postnatal Jing is maintained at sufficient levels, prenatal Jing is used much more slowly and the aging process is slowed down.
When Jing is strong, vitality and youthfulness remain. Strong Jing energy in the Kidneys, so the Chinese say, will lead to a long and vigorous life, while a loss of Jing will result in physical and mental degeneration and a shortening of one’s life. Jing is essential to life and when it runs low our life force is severely diminished and thus we lose all power to adapt. The quantity of Essence determines both our life span and the ultimate vitality of our life.Jing is burned up in the body by life itself, but most especially by chronic and acute stress and excessive behavior, including overwork, excessive emotionalism, substance abuse, chronic pain or illness, and marital excess (especially in men). Excessive menstrual patterns, pregnancy and childbirth can result in a dramatic drain on the Jing of a woman, especially in middle aged women. When Jing is depleted below a level required to survive, we die. Eventually everyone runs out of Jing and thus everyone dies (at least physically).
Shen (Spirit)
Shen is the third Treasure. Shen is the Holy Spirit which directs Qi. It may also be translated as our “higher consciousness.” This is ultimately the most important of the Three Treasures because it reflects our higher nature as human beings. Chinese masters say that Shen is the all-embracing love that resides in our “Heart,” a primary organ system. Shen is the spiritual radiance of a human being and is the ultimate and most refined level of energetics in the universe. Shen is not considered to be an emotion, or even a state of mind. It presides over the emotions and manifests as all-encompassing compassion, and non-discriminating, non-judgemental awareness. Shen is expressed as love, compassion, kindness, generosity, acceptance, forgiveness and tolerance. It manifests as our wisdom and our ability to see all sides of all issues, our ability to rise above the world of right and wrong, good and bad, yours and mine, high and low, and so on. Shen is our higher knowledge that everything is one, even though nature manifests dualistically and cyclically, often obscuring our vision and creating illusion.
Our true Spirit, which the Chinese call Shen, is the spark of divinity that resides within the heart of every human being and manifests as love, kindness, compassion, generosity, giving, tolerance, forgiveness, mercy, tenderness and the appreciation of beauty. It is the Spirit of a human being as the divine messenger, the channel of God’s will and love. Shen is the purpose of all spiritual paths. It is the Buddha’s desire to end suffering and it is Christ’s love and compassion… Shen manifests only when the heart is open. Once the heart is open, Shenmanifests as light that illuminates the path of a man or woman in life’s journey toward the spiritual goal and along the spiritual path.

Chiburi
Chiburi is the process by which one symbolically removes blood from a sword blade. The term chiburui can thus be translated as “shaking off the blood”. In the Japanese martial art of iaidō, this is done before nōtō or placing the blade back into the scabbard (known as saya).

Explicação reconfortante da terceira idade
Por e-mail he recibido este comentario sobre el envejecimiento neuronal del geriatra alemán Dr. Michael Ramscar. No deja de ser curioso e interesante para compartir.
"Afinal, os cérebros das pessoas mais velhas são lentos só porque elas sabem muito. As pessoas não declinam mentalmente com a idade. Os cientistas acreditam que elas apenas têm mesmo mais tempo para recordar fatos e acumulam muito mais informações nos seus cérebros. Muito parecido com o que acontece nos discos rígidos dos computadores quando ficam cheios, dificultando assim o tempo de acesso às informações pretendidas. Os investigadores dizem que esta desaceleração não é o mesmo que o declínio cognitivo. O cérebro humano funciona mais lentamente na velhice, disse o Dr. Michael Ramscar, mas apenas porque temos armazenadas mais informações. Com o tempo, o cérebro de pessoas mais velhas não fica mais fraco. Pelo contrário, elas simplesmente sabem mais.
Mesmo quando as pessoas mais velhas se esquecem do que iam fazer na outra dependência da casa, esse não é um problema de memória mas apenas uma forma da Natureza as obrigar a fazer mais exercício físico".
Eu sei que tenho mais amigos a quem deveria mandar isto mas, de momento, não consigo recordar os respectivos nomes. Por isso, agradeço que o enviem aos vossos amigos. Quem sabe eles também são meus amigos... :-)
