“Tai Chi is a soft exercise. It’s a very soft exercise, it’s not like jumping jacks. It’s soft boiled, but it’s tough. It’s deceptively tough because you can’t move around things, you move through them, or into them. It does build up your legs from the inside out, not like in muscle building but the Qi of your legs gets stronger. And that is the foundation for the rest of your body.”

“So you are evolving within a Qi field, which can be experienced; how contracted or expanded it is. When you fully manifest who you are in the physical form you will burst your bubble, your Qi field. Your Qi field and the Qi field of everything will become one, consciously one. That’s what they say. That’s my tracking, because you won’t need any boundaries. You will be experiencing your own existence within the centredness of everything, in a personal way though. It’s not that you simply become one with everything but in a personally integrated way. That would be the human being becoming fully evolved and that would be total manifested freedom of your energy field. We won’t know if that’s true unless we experience it though. In the meantime we can work on being healthy and happy, having fun.”

“The more free you are in your awareness the more you can consciously feel what you are; the more you consciously feel what you are the more that can penetrate this physical experience”

“Tai Chi & QiGong teaches us to connect with the body in a way that helps us experience the reality of our energetic being. We start to reclaim the knowing that what we think, feel and do shapes our lives and influences those around us. We feel the power of life as something that flows through us and out of us: our awareness escapes the prison of the intellect, dives into the heart and recognises itself as Spirit!
That is when we encounter the Human Spirit; the essential us and with this encounter comes the gifts of peace, reverence, healing, brotherhood, hope, forgiveness, and an abiding love and enthusiasm for the life we have!”

“It’s not that you feel too much, it’s that you don’t feel correctly. Your relationship with your emotional being is conditional and reactive and invested and looking for your identity through it rather than actually feeling what you are. That’s the journey. Feeling what we are brings in the balance.
It’s not that you’re sensitive. It’s just that you’re not feeling what feeling really is.
It’s woundedness. That’s not what feeling your authentic self is; your essential self. It’s a journey. We look for ourselves through relationship and then some of us invest more in being emotional or carers or whatever but it’s very important for you to cognitively see. Consciously feeling is the key to everything.”

“I’m saying everything is connected, intelligently and in a loving way. That’s a good thing to know, that you are being loved, all the time. Can you handle it? Can you handle being loved all the time? Can you open to it? Then your Qi system would really be flowing.”
