Manipulating The Chakras With Tai Chi

Steve Rowe

Manipulating The Chakras With Tai Chi What do the chakras do? Root Chakra – is life and death, a very powerful primal energy driving sex and mortal fear. Sacral Chakra – is instincts, that ‘gut feeling’ you need to learn to rely on. Solar Plexus Chakra – is normal fear, anxiety and anger. Heart Chakra – is patience, kindness, tolerance and compassion. Throat Chakra – is expression, the ability to influence your environment. Brow Chakra – the ‘third eye’ is insight and visionary. Crown Chakra – is wisdom and spirituality. They each have their own emotional colouring and vibration of … Continue reading Manipulating The Chakras With Tai Chi

You can be lonely in a crowdThat feeling that you’re differentThat nobody understands youIsolated from friends and familyWhen others tell you what you’re likeAnd they’ve got it wrongVery wrongAnd you can’t tell themThe suffering cuts your soulPain –PhysicalEmotionalMentalAnguish that tears through all 3 statesBeing human feels like prisonStuck in amongst aliensLooking at you like you’re a walking zooMisinterpreting what you sayHow you lookHow you actPeople look, judgeBut can’t see youCan’t understand youLoneliness is not just being on your ownIt’s being on your ownWhoever you’re withTrying to communicateThrough a filterThat obviously doesn’t workPeople say talk to someoneMy door’s always openThe kettle’s … Continue reading Loneliness…

Steve Rowe

When your dog is sufferingAnd has no quality of lifeYou put him out of his miseryYet we let relatives and ourselvesSuffer interminablyPlaces of healing become places of tortureHospitals and hospices leave people writhing in painDemented human bodies are left in fearWandering like the undeadTo placate their relatives, the law and outdated religionWe have the choiceBut not the methodWhen we don’t have the mind or bodyTo complete the actWe need a way to be out of our miseryGovernments kick the can down the roadThe young and healthy don’t want to think about itConvincing everyone it’s an act of cowardiceAnd not fair … Continue reading The Right Time To Go

Tai Chi’s A Funny Game

Steve Rowe

Tai Chi people can be funnyThere are people with exclusive magicWho look down on the hoi poloiAs pitiable acolyte’sConfusing everyone with terminologyThere are those that leanOn impeccable lineageWith flowery handsAnd embroidered feetSome have silk suitsThat ripple in the breezeThere are hippiesThat heal with ancestral energyThere are formsSo many formsPrayers to the ancestorsCombining meditation and energy workInto fighting techniquesPush hands to testStructural integrityAnd stop practitionersFrom just playing with themselvesBeneath all these facesLies the best structuredMost powerfulMethod of developingMental focusEmotional intelligenceGood health and vitalityAnd self defenceThat I’ve ever encountered Never judge a book by its cover.

The Perfect Workout

Steve Rowe

I don’t do short forms in Tai Chi. The Yang Chen Fu 108 for me along with the family neigong and qigong is the perfect morning ‘monk style’ workout that can be explored in a multitude of ways and the afternoon ‘warrior’ workout of the weaponry, Long Boxing and Sanshou set is perfect. Repeated techniques cover moving on the spot (grasp sparrow’s tail) with the 4 major jins (ward off, roll back, press, push), and rolling arms moving forward (brush knee), backward (repulse monkey) and sideways (waving hands like clouds). Other techniques cover the other jins and angles in a … Continue reading The Perfect Workout

Don’t Be Diverted

Steve Rowe

If people knew the power they had, the world would be a far better place. Instead like lemmings we allow our minds and emotions to be diverted by those who currently hold power at our behest. Separate the masses and turn them on each other and they never look at the manipulators, the gaslighters and greedy narcissists. We used to say that if the information was available that people would become self educated and work together to make the world a better, compassionate and kinder environment. When that happened with the advent of the internet, we were diverted and turned … Continue reading Don’t Be Diverted
