When practicing we sometimes notice that something does not feel right in our body, or the way we’d like it to. Perhaps its a pain, ache, or discomfort that is signalling to us rather strongly.

Getting a little scared of these inconsistencies is common, and attempts to make a quick fixes or alterations seems like the best course of action at the time.

When was the last time you thought about the way in which you made choices in your life? What instructs you to choose one course of action over another? Chinese people have known for a long time that we have an internal compass, our heart, which guides us in all aspects of our life. We have the innate ability to feel if something is favorable or good for us.

When we think of improving our own Health and Wellness, we often have the perspective that has been given to us by the media, in other word there is more to consider than is socially/culturally recognized.

It has been recognized that children come into this World as “pure beings”, closer to creation-time, or in a naturally vulnerable and innocent state. The circumstances of life, who raised us, environmental factors and a vast array of life- experienced-changes, all factor into the shaping of an individual. Therefore, one could also deduce that both positive and negative experiences and how we interpret them, can color, shape and influence a person and the perspectives he/she carry.

Alignment Principle

Spirit- beliefs, un-knowns, illusions

The principle of Alignment or lack there of, is perceived on many levels...simultaneously. For most of us, entering into the state of Alignment is, to say the least, an effort and often random. More often we may even fail to recognize the fundamental priority of internal alignment to every facet of our lives.
