Re: [Wing_Chun_Unification] The ever Contraversial...   Message List

 Sounds good.

 Sometimes what we feel becomes our hindrance. Keeping the mind fixed in sensing will actually further block the senses. Going with the flow is actually just an ordinary manner. According to which flow one is going with, they will experience exactly what is upon that particular perception. Because the flow is based on one's perception.
  There is actually no right flow or wrong flow. One must find that which presents desired results. Creating the flow is something that is not ordinary, and it is almost never really cultivated. Qigong, and its various methods of cultivation, is a very advanced manner of cultivation.  It is so vast that it is a science in and of itself. Every detail, manner of our posture is to be worked with to allow the energy of the body to move with as less hindrance as possible, that means to be free of any strong illnesses... and it all stems from the mind.
   The balance of mind body and spirit is still a perception of mind. Therefore it will become a hindrance. It isn't the balance that is important..because working on balancing states that there is an imbalance, and that the imbalance and balance is real. To know the reallness of something, one must trace it to its root. Its cause. For all things are a result of something else, they always change, and that which changes is based on a cause... which also changes. So since there is no permanence in thoughts, and mannerisms, there is not a reallness actually.. unless one believes it to be real.
  That is where we go deeper. Since it is all of the mind, and mind is of mind, there is no permanence, or impermanence, and not impermanent, and not not impermanent. This takes us deeper into our Wing Chun...which is really nothing more than various transitions manifested due to a cause.
  I wonder if anyone can see where I am going with this. Let us not forget that Wing Chun was created from Buddhist cultivation.
 
Peace,
 Aiwei

Aiwei,
  I truly appreciate what you stated concerning Qiqong within Wing Chun.  There are different families within Wing Chun and some employ Qiqong practice more  so than others.  One which I practice allows that you can sense/feel/manifest the  Qiqong more effectively than the others I've done.  Yet I find the elements are there within Wing Chun in general if one practices correctly.  At the core of all Qiqong practice is the breathing and unification of the Mind intent/physical action. 
  It has taken me a long time to find one of the systems I practice but once I did it (Qi) began to flow like a river (okay, a small stream, but it was a start) and I for one believe that Qiqong practice is and should be an integral part of all Wing Chun. 
   I do not find Qigong to be something magical or mystical, anymore so than our own minds are so as well, a mystery that no man has complete understanding of yet.  IMO the human being consists of:
1)Heart 2)Mind 3)Body 4)Soul , and maybe when we have our "being" in correct balance of all those elements then the Qi can truly flow.  Standing meditation (playing forms very slowly and mindful of breath/energy) can help bring about balance but is not all there is to it.  I believe (IMO) that once we have all the elements in balance we can then truly excel as practitioners and really feel the "flow", and it's the practice with the Qiqong intent that will also help the other elements of "us" along. 
 
Have a most excellent day.

Yes Sifu, understood. The idea I am placing here is the effect Wing Chun cultivation has on the mind. That is why I was describing much in this email. In Chan...

I like the analogy. So in Buddhism the idea of a "still mind" seems to parallel the concept of a "still body" in wing chun. Likely the "still body" is more...

The Buddhist nature of Wing Chun if cultivated properly does make Wing Chun the ever so mysterious martial art it has become known for. Yet the Buddhist ideals...

You are getting very close... Still body is the manner of the still mind. Meaning, a still body reflects(for the sake of saying reflects) the still mind....

Since it is all of the mind, every outcome we experience begins from desire, thought, emotion, ...intent. I am glad you are getting the idea. Peace, Aiwei ...
