Going with the flow
I went to a Tai Chi class last night and again realized just how much difficulty I have being rather still and breathing deeply into my stomach – it’s almost as if it makes me feel like I’m in a straight jacket. But after the class I did feel as if I had moved something, whether it was chi or me, hard to say.
My Tao te Ching meditation is about overvaluing people or things and letting nonaction be the guide.
#3
If you overesteem great men,
people become powerless.
If you overvalue possessions,
people begin to steal
The Master leads
by emptying people’s minds
and filling their cores,
by weakening their ambition
and toughening their resolve.
He helps people lose everything
they know, everything they desire,
and creates confusion
in those who think that they know.
Practice not-doing,
and everything will fall into place.
