Day 42. "Sit but not sit; fall but not fall; jump but not jump."

This is Master Chia's mantra for perfecting the basic qi gong stance used in so many of the techniques. Finding the middle path - it's like reaching the point where opposites meet and cancel one another out, the point where you are experiencing pressure from neither one side nor the other, the point of immersion, balance and harmony. Don't think for a minute that he is only telling us this to learn a physical posture. This mantra goes deep down into the very heart of us all and once heeded to will lengthen & strengthen our roots, grounding us in ways we had not realised were possible. This journey is so amazing and humbling!
