Balance your chi!
Either I have become far more enlightened than all of you or I have truly begun to follow the path of crackpotism. So I was at camp and then the sensei began talking about Wuji and it's properties. He began to speak of chakras and how he used to have liver and kidney problems. He remblanced the enregy in his body and over time his body healed. So this is an art about drawing in the benevolent energies around you, and using it to heal anxiety illness and increase ones energy. I thought it was BS till weird things began to happen as I meditated.
First, As I opened up the primary chakra thing, I first slightly sick to my stomach. And I had the urge to go to the bathroom. Apearently (sp?) as you acknowledge your bodies pressure points and think about energy flowing to them, energy will flow there, and based upon how bad you are feeling wil try to purge you body of that badness. Being sick to ones stomach is a sign of anxiety, but I don't know what the need for a toilet meant. Jessica had to go so bad she began to dance around and at the end of class she bolted to the bathroom. The second time I tried it was five hours later, and I had done a great deal of walking. I knew my feet were going to feel bad, but who cares about ones foot, honestly? So the meditation is done stading up and as I imagined the secondary chakras. I was relieved to know my stomach and bladder were not in the way. But my feet began to hurt, very badly in was this fatigue that swept over them, but I didn't feeling coming out of my happy place because my feet began to hurt so I ingnored it. When I opened my eyes my feet were a deep purple. The Sensei told me that because I had been walking so much there may have been a lack of blood flow to my feet, the meditation corrected this problem by adding the blood back.
Whee.
Blood.
I love this stuff, I am a believer.
