Dear Merle and Bill (not Bill!), Thank you for your interest in taking a peek at our meditative technique.
We practice first to reach tiptop physical condition. Only then could we integrate our body, mind and spirit. Thus a dedicated chi cultivation is the necessary first step as well as its foundation. Some call this state samadhi, though it is only a name, we need to understand however it differs from a state when we are physically exhausted as in a long retreat. In order for us to maintain a state of samadhi in every moment, we must be in our best physical condition, not when we are exhausted. Besides, it is explicitly so stated in traditional Chinese meditation. Heightened state of awareness requires the support of heightened state of chi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Treasures_(traditional_Chinese_medicine) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Treasures_%28traditional_Chinese_medicine%29> Bon Voyage, JM ------------------------------------ Current Book Discussion: any Zen book that you recently have read or are reading!
