Qi Gong – Fiesta Estrellas

The above is my photo, from the first captured image of my journey with energy and life from a low stance. It’s unclear which MA I am practicing here, but it might even be karate inspired. I adored the Karate Kid but it wasn’t until I was in my late twenties until I got started. I wanted to start earlier so badly, though. If you have any Mars/Moon connections in your natal chart. Martial arts is an EXCELLENT channel.

Today is a big day. My daughter is taking her first MMA class, and it’s gonna be a trial. We are gonna see if she loves it. I feel like this is one of those “peak” moments in life. For some people it’s a belt. For me, it’s the evolution of my family tree. 🌳 It’s the development of connections and the skill sets for survival, discipline and dedication to a higher cause/purpose. For me it’s the passion of devotion, and finding ancient traditions for me wasn’t something that was “directly” handed down. I did practice yoga with my mother as a child. These were critical moments that seeded in me the desire to intermittently practice yoga informally for the rest of my life. I almost now have a daily practice without even considering it “formally, I do yoga, daily.”

Blessings and gratitude for all my teachers. 🙌🏻🌻 🙏🏼💗🥋☀️🙌🏻

May all beings be free

All this past week, and probably longer, I’ve had tech tech tech non-stop snags and delays, broken products, broken dishwasher, the list is so extensive, I really don’t feel like writing about it. Could it be transiting Mercury Conjunct Neptune in my 1st house?! Very likely! This is helping me in some unseen way tap into talents and skills in tech that I haven’t even wanted to explore. 😂 so here we are, making the best of it!

Thanks for being here! 🌻☀️

There are so many different ways that I meditate. As a reiki practitioner, I have a practice for giving myself reiki. I work with mantra, healing sounds, ringing bowls, guided meditation, vipassana meditation, walking meditation, laughter yoga, other yoga, and many other methods.

Considering I have so much to choose from, it keeps my practicing fresh and alive. I pick and choose what works for me. Often this means that I have diligence for a period of time using a particular method. In this area of my life, I don’t have a specific teacher, but many teachers. About 3 days ago I returned to my beloved horse stance that I first used in Kung Fu a decade or so ago from my Pai Lum Tao. This started to translate into me practice more Qi gong. My favorite go-to is “polishing the stone.” It’s also called “polishing the table,” but it’s the same. The previous practice I learned from another school. I’ve included the video below for your reference, but I hadn’t seen it before today. Same with the video above, which I think is a great introduction to moving like water. Today, on Thanksgiving, I created a movement that’s perfect for my needs and I named it “bamboo swaying in the wind.” I’ll be working with this new Qi Gong I taught myself for a little while, and so far it feels amazing!

There are so many ways to look at abundance and prosperity. In times of challenge and pain, grief from loss, and sadness it can be very difficult to see even the tiniest amount of hope. We must be humble and remember that circumstances are fleeting. They change, they are subject to the ebbs and flows and the vicissitudes of life. What I love about Qi Gong, is that it’s a gift you can give yourself, and you don’t need any supplies but your own breath and movement. It’s a way to cultivate Qi which is the what the entire universe is made up of——-talk about abundance!
