I went to a Tai Chi class last night and again realized just how much difficulty I have being rather still and breathing deeply into my stomach – it’s almost as if it makes me feel like I’m in a straight jacket. But after the class I did feel as if I had moved something, whether it was chi or me, hard to say.<\/p>\n
My Tao te Ching meditation is about overvaluing people or things and letting nonaction be the guide.<\/p>\n
#3<\/p>\n
If you overesteem great men,
\npeople become powerless.
\nIf you overvalue possessions,
\npeople begin to steal<\/p>\n
The Master leads
\nby emptying people’s minds
\nand filling their cores,
\nby weakening their ambition
\nand toughening their resolve.
\nHe helps people lose everything
\nthey know, everything they desire,
\nand creates confusion
\nin those who think that they know.<\/p>\n
Practice not-doing,
\nand everything will fall into place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
