Day 5 - 5th January - Lighten up!

I have noticed that the more I am able to lighten up, the better my Qi is able to flow. This does not mean that I eschew seriousness, but rather that I practise being mindful of not being my body or my mind. In those moments when  I free myself from identifying with my corporeal body as the sum of who I am, I am actually better able to enjoy it and utilise it. Your skin, flesh and bones are your travelling companions; they are your vessel, but not your master. This awareness also leads one to greater levels of equanimity and to live in the moment which, in turn, help Qi to flow unencumbered. Today, I am practising lightening up and living in the moment!
