Another thing that is important to note about the movment of energy and Qi Gong, Tai-Qi, meditation, or any other kind of movement work. When you are chronically unwell and you create the movement of energy, all that happens is you circulate toxins all over the body by moving the lymph. So, it makes you feel more unwell or even sick. Deir just wrote me on the last post and what she was experiencing is a good example of this.

So, just like it is important to wait on certain steps, such as food or tonification such as vitamins, waiting for the apppropriate time for stronger energy movment is also important.

Taking it slow and easy on such things is critically important and waiting to do it at all is also important.

Some people ask me if they shouldnt force themselves to exercise for example. They say they dont feel like it, but, will force themselves. My answer is always–dont force yourself! If you dont feel like it, it isn’t bc you are lazy, it’s becuase your body is telling you that it isn’t ready.

For some of you exercise is critical because you feel better with the movment, while others feel better with the stillness and rest. And, this is indicative of the underlying imblances that are going on. And, one needs to listen closely to what the body is trying to say.

So, if you feel unwell from what you are doing-back off-reduce it or stop it completely,w ait and try again after some period of abstinence.
