Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Grounding

Bluebird, this is what Gallen means by spiritual: Spiritual: Mother Earth is a living being. She knows you. All the lives you have walked on Mother Earth...your body always returns to her. You can talk to Mother Earth. Thank her for all she provides, and ask to connect to the "appropriate center"

Spirit meaning something similar to the Greek concept of essence. Again, Greek thought saw LETTERS as physical, like the letter A & B & so forth. Then say a word like: CAT is the mental container. Here one thinks of a cat, my neighbor's cat w/ four legs and is yellow & white. Then there is the spirit of the word CAT. The silent patient movement; the sleek graceful jump that i feel in my heart when i see that cat jump from a table.

This earth is in spirit, our mother who nourishes us via the crops and fruit she produces. She is our protector via the homes we build and the caves we seek shelter in from the rain. This is spirit type of thinking and description.

Hi,
Philosophical was not the best choice of words...I was discerning between physical, or physical theorey, knowing something and doing it, physical feeling... and, spiritual, spiritual also involving a "knowing", but experienced too , as emotional feeling and relationship(love). One perspective, or way, to put love in the grounding. I could, envision standing in Level I exercises, smiling, and feeling love, without necessarily singling anything out, or defining specifics...like my relationship with the earth. I could, sort of include that ,non specifically ,from a more universal perspective. Big love. This might align better, specific to SFQ,,,,I don't knoW. As it is a spiritual form of qigong, it opens that door.

This is inspiring and very interesting!

Gallen, Please do not hold back from sharing some of your experiences in this Forum.

Healing for better health is more that just doing the exercises. That is why even the qi blockage is cleared at that moment, one still have his/her own work to do. That work might not be just the active or inactive exercises from SFQ when one choose to practive SFQ. It covers a lot more.
As for “Grounding” , I agree with Margaret that it’ll carry over into the other situation in life as well. The other situations in life will affect us in our own healing process.
