What is Meditation? |
a T o u c h o f C h i
Meditation is a term that refers both to a state of consciousness in which a practitioner
watches oneself, as well as a method for achieving such a state. As a method, meditation
means quieting the mind in order to more clearly see one’s self. Ultimately meditation is
simply self-watching from a different aspect of consciousness—a way of becoming selfless.
Bowing Meditation
Bowing is one of the most humble and spiritual acts a human can perform. It is an action that
simultaneously signifies acceptance and a deep understanding of and feeling towards an
object.
Through bowing, we accept, understand, and feel our soul.
Through bowing, we cast aside the narrow confines of the self and accept the energy of the
universe.
Through bowing, we are connected to the energy of “Heaven” when we open and spread our
arms.
Through bowing, we are connected to the energy of “Earth” when we bend at the waist and
lay our upper bodies on the floor.
Bowing Meditation is a dynamic form of meditation that simultaneously strengthens and
makes our physical body more flexible, improves energy circulation, and reliably helps you to
hear the voice of your soul.
Through bowing, we are connected to the energies of “Heaven” and “Earth”. Bowing Meditation is an act of sincerity for cleansing our soul. Let's dedicate 108 Bows for the purification of all Souls. Namaste, Sifu Gary Tong |
Bowing is a very serious practice. We should be prepared to bow, even in our last moment. Even though it is impossible to get rid of our self-centered desires, we have to do it. Our true nature wants us to. By bowing, we are giving up ourselves to the universe. To give up ourselves means to give up our dualistic ideas and become one. When you become one with everything that exists, you find the true meaning of being. “Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind” By Shunryu Suzuki |
