Sean || Ethiopia

"The definite highlight was our second night, where we made camp at this kind of sun-burnt alpine plain, at around 3600m. I can't imagine a more Dali-esque landscape: smooth hills covered in short, dry yellow grass; the occasional rocky outcrop, a few lonely cacti standing watch - right down to the occasional skinny horse grazing at dead grass, ribs showing. And looking beyond all this, mountains descending to the horizon below. Then began an epic march up to the yellow hills overlooking our campsite. But the crowning moment was unquestionably making it to the other side of the mountain top, revealing a biblical view of the canyons and mountains below. Yes! This was the opportunity I had been waiting for!  The sun was setting; the sky a rarefied azure; no sound but for mountain winds. On this peak - literally the roof of Africa - I stood and watched the sun set on the cradle of humanity as if from above. A single eagle soared above the sun, effortlessly gliding on ethereal thermals. I felt I needed to be on my knees, paying silent homage to the scene."

Qigong forges a direct link between the conscious mind and the immune system, a link already acknowledged though not well understood in Western medicine as 'psychoneuroimmunology'.  Master Luo Teh Hsiou cites the 'harmony of the nervous and endocrine systems' as the very essence of Qigong practice, and modern medical science has clearly established a close biofeedback connection between neurochemicals and hormones.  Stress and excitement activate the sympathetic circuit of the autonomous nervous system, which triggers release of adrenalin, cortisol, and other hormones.  These hormones then further reinforce sympathetic nervous response by biofeedback, setting up a continuous cycle of depletion and exhaustion.  Qigong, from moving exercises to still, counteracts the exhausting stress and excitement of daily life by turning on the calming parasympathetic circuit of the autonomous nervous system, which releases neurochemicals that stimulate secretions of hormones with healing, relaxing, and restorative properties.  These hormones in turn sustain secretions of parasympathetic neurochemicals by biofeedback, establishing a cycle of repair and rejuvenation.

Notes from the Tao Te Ching:

*When one gives uundivided attention to the VITAL BREATH, and brings it to the utmost degree of pliancy, he can become tender like a baby.  When he has cleansed away the most mysterious sights of his imaginaton, he can become without a flaw.

*He who would gain a knowledge of the nature and attributes of the nameless, undefinable (Tao) must first set himself free from all earthly desires. 

*Man takes his law from the earth, the earth takes its law from heaven, heaven takes its law from the Tao.

*He who knows others is discerning, he who knows himself is intelligent.  He who overcomes others is strong, he who overcomes himself is mighty.7735DAVZRN45
