My Thoughts On Assisted Dying
My thoughts on ‘assisted dying’.Everyone can end their own life at anytime.The law is an ass regarding that. The only questions are:Can they do it without leaving a mess physically and legally for others to sort out.Can it be done painlessly. The act passing through parliament should therefore include:Legal advice including a last will and testament.Psychological advice and help if they feel they have no option but there are others to consider.A painless way to leave the world leaving no mess. It is the individual’s choice and does not belong to others, if they decide to go they can do … Continue reading My Thoughts On Assisted Dying

Taking Notes
Taking Notes I get all my students on my programmes to take their own notes. I give them a standard set and support videos but in each session they get a lot of instruction that’s not in the standard notes and is individual to them. Hand writing it means that it goes deeper into their minds and is aways accessible to them. Continue reading Taking Notes
Why I’m Explaining The Tao Te Ching
I think only a small group of interested people read my explanations of the Tao Te Ching each day and I have been asked why I bother to do them and post them on here. For me the book was literally life changing and I still refer to it on a daily basis more than 50 years later. Every passage I analyse gives me added insights and understandings as I evolve, I’m amazed at depths that I’ve missed again and again. I often thought that the writer or writers were repeating themselves or maybe the translators weren’t seeing the hidden … Continue reading Why I’m Explaining The Tao Te Ching

You Already Know It!
Most of social media is designed to lead you astray, particularly in the martial arts and some of the worst manipulators (whether they know it or not) are those that train and teach our arts. First of all YOU ALREADY KNOW IT so you don’t need ‘teachers’ telling you that you don’t understand and it takes years of training etc. they are laying smoke screens and diverting you from seeing what you should already know naturally. Every mammal is born with this inner knowing, look at cats, dogs, monkeys, tigers and so on, even humans when they’re ’in the zone’ … Continue reading You Already Know It!
Let’s Talk About Lineage
Let’s talk a little bit about ‘lineage’. What we’re really talking about is what’s passed down from a teacher or teachers, what the quality of that teaching is and whether the student learned or understood what they’re taught and then what they can add to that. The hours spent arguing about lineage in Tai Chi is crazy and most people arguing about it have the worst Tai Chi I’ve ever seen. The only way you ever know the quality of a person’s Tai Chi is understanding the depth of their character and by crossing hands with them. Everything else is … Continue reading Let’s Talk About Lineage
Retreat And Repulse Monkey
Is a Tai Chi technique of stepping back to remain powerful with structural integrity and ‘politely’ pushing the monkey god of mischief away. We don’t want to invite mischief into our life so we ensure to repulse him politely and gently. This is a strategy of life. We are always encouraged to be active and push forwards, to attack and conquer both others and ourselves. But it’s not always the best action. Sometimes it’s better to step back, it doesn’t mean that we have to be weaker, we can keep our structural integrity, take a wider perspective to see things … Continue reading Retreat And Repulse Monkey
