The Lost Thing by Shaun Tan

I was introduced to this short movie by Mary a Norwich student and although not a Qigong subject it definitely can be classed as a Mindful one. Enjoy.

Fascia


Fascia or myofascia is the dense, tough tissue which surrounds and covers all of your muscles and bones. This outer fascial covering is very strong and very flexible. In fact, it has a tensile strength of over 2000 pounds (over 900 kg).

Under a microscope, myofascia resembles a spiders web or fish net. It is very organized and very flexible in a healthy state. Myofascia can best be described as a complete body suit which runs from the top of your head down to the bottom of your toes. It is continuous, has no beginning or end and can be found almost everywhere in your body. Like yarn in a sweater the entire body is connected to every other part of the body by the fascia. It is a continuous weave of material. And, like a pull in a sweater, damage to an area of fascia can affect other distant areas in your body even years later.

The Language of Feeling is a method of thinking that is feel-based so it's important to start by learning how things feel. With a small amount of practice you'll naturally identify things this way and your mind will seem much lighter and faster.

Everything that exists has a unique feeling or 'frequency', even if they seem identical. In the technique below you'll be starting out by identifying the feeling of things. This is the ABCs of the Language of Feeling.

"Soflty softly, catchee monkee"

The saying "Softly softly, catchee monkee," refers to situations where achieving success and results requires a patient, careful and a quiet approach. Always consider this fun proverb when doing your Qigong, it not only brings a smile to your face but more importantly gives you the correct frame of mind to approach your practise. Have fun!
