Good Morning

Time to start the day.

So just wishing to anyone who bebops here:

"Good Morning"
It's important to just reach out and connect in such a positive manner. Life is as much about "pause" as it's about movement.

Anyone who knows me, knows I say good morning three times before noon. It's part of my practice, part of expanding my nature and connecting to the world.

Stopping to smile, to say good morning... and to really pause in that... not to rush on by becuase an exchange is expected... But simply to pause in the
"Good Morning"
Now that is something worth doing. Far batter than coffee also when practiced with an exchange of positive energy , to reach out and swirl in a Qi-Gong manner to connect outwards with energy.

Practice and activity are never separate in life... It's always part and soul, integrated into one's life. This ends up being one of the major problems I see in western culture. How westerners split out everything to be separate and distinct... to the point we never have enough time to exercise , to explore energy and life as we busily rush about.

So trying saying Good morning and feel the energy, imagine spirit reaching out, entwining up to the sun to warm your core with an extra boost of light, feel lifted as "good morning" connects to the breeze and wind above us, Discover peace of connection in the smile that goes along with meaning "Good Morning"... extending outwards in so many ways... This is Qi-Gong, this is Taoism, this is life: integrated and present in each moment...

The first Good Morning is to yourself: to sense and travel in your own body, to know yourself at the first moment of the day.. to be able to then move on.

The second Good morning is to open the mind, to expand outwards, to sense what is around you. To greet the flows of energy about you and to embrace that in a loving manner, to energize your movement of living.

The third Good morning is to connect to others, to give thanks for sharing with them. To interconnect out in the puzzle that is the day to come.

Who ever would have thought that something as simple as "Good Morning" could do so many things???

But this is Taoism, the secret of Taoist practice: interconnecting your life to the path of living, in each moment no matter how seemingly small: is also universal in impact to the world and yourself....

Peace
