ChiDragon Posted January 25, 2013 The term "Stillness Movement" has been bothering me quite sometime. IMO It would be more appropriate to look at 'stillness' as 'static' and 'movement' as 'dynamic'. Static and dynamic are more of an adjective rather than putting two nouns together such as "Stillness Movement" as proper term. After all, it has less confusion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ya Mu Posted January 25, 2013 The term "Stillness Movement" has been bothering me quite sometime. IMO It would be more appropriate to look at 'stillness' as 'static' and 'movement' as 'dynamic'. Static and dynamic are more of an adjective rather than putting two nouns together such as "Stillness Movement" as proper term. After all, it has less confusion. Honestly, you were told multiple times on different threads about the system. You do have to pay attention and not make stuff up. There is no confusion whatsoever. It is called Stillness-Movement. That IS the name of the system. Static-Dynamic is an OK term as well. They really mean the exact same thing. But non-technical people would have more confusion calling it that. Static - Stillness Dynamic - Movement sinansencer Stillness-Movement should be done exactly like I taught in the workshop. Many thousands of hours of practice arrived at that which is taught. If you have any questions about what I taught in the workshop please email me or call me and I would be glad to clarify. Hope you are doing well! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChiDragon Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) dynamic stillness; heartbeat, breath Static movement; skidding on my ass down the slide I do appreciate that.... If I may add: Dynamic / stillness VS heartbeat / sitting; breathing / sitting Static / movement VS stillness / heartbeat; stillness / breathing Static/dynamic as: internal(static) VS external(dynamic): emptiness of the mind / body movement as in Spontaneous Chi Kung; external(static) VS internal(dynamic): zazen/breathing; zazen / all the vital activities takes place inside the body. @Ya Mu... Just ignore me.... Edited January 25, 2013 by ChiDragon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ya Mu Posted January 25, 2013 "Static/dynamic as:internal(static) VS external(dynamic): emptiness of the mind / body movement as in Spontaneous Chi Kung;external(static) VS internal(dynamic): zazen/breathing; zazen / all the vital activities takes place inside the body." Except the Stillness-Movement neigong is: internal (static), stilling the mind, [then not vs but allowing] internal (dynamic) which occurs due to specific internal - dynamic energetics then allowing external body - dynamic. In a sleep lab, we have measured brain waves (mine) doing standing stillness-movement for a time period of 3 minutes. Within 3 minutes, while standing, the brain went through the first 3 stages of sleep going steadily deeper and the body was moving. So Stillness - mind leads to internal energy Movement leads to external Movement of body. Really, it is the internal movement which is important. It simply follows that some external will occur as the body conforms (if we ALLOW) to the patterns internally, a microcosm-macrocosm thing. This allowing IS the body alignment with energetics. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice. I've noticed that in addition to music, other things that can set off spontaneous S-M for me are walking through or contemplating natural environments, and sudden epiphanies that break the usual linear chain of thought.

I have noticed this as well. Deep prayer always sends me into s-m. My 2 cents, Peace 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
