Living with Change

December 19, 2018 by

Planet Earth - Inner Vitality QigongLife is constantly changing. So it is important to live from a place of center and balance. We often look at change as difficult or stressful. Fear of change often takes us on a detour in life that is not desired and is avoidable if we just accept it as a journey of self-discovery.

Resistance just gives more power to the change we prejudged as difficult and unwanted. Resistance is a sign that we are acting out of fear. Change requires flexibility. Rigidity is a sign of death. If we hold the things in our lives too tightly and try to force things to stay the same, we stifle the very life force that permits life. Change is the inherent nature of life itself. Without change, there would be no life.

Living with change and uncertainty requires knowing yourself, trusting yourself, living from intuition and having faith in God, the Universe, the Chi Field. When we learn how to live in the present moment and stop resisting the truth, we begin to align ourselves with our higher purpose and connect to our higher self.

Acceptance is key to living with change. Accept your circumstance without resistance and judgment. Have an open mind without attachments to the outcome. Then make an adjustment if you don’t get the outcomes that you desire.

Holiday Stress

It is that time of year when a lot is expected of us to make the holidays perfect for everyone. We often sacrifice our sanity and endure a lot of stress to make it happen. Don’t let the holiday season stress you out.

Here are some tips that I hope will help to bring balance to your holidays.

1. Don’t sacrifice your health. If you exhaust yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically, then you will be of no use to anyone. Instead, put yourself first. Eat healthy, drink plenty of purified water, and get plenty of rest.

2. Remember that it is a joyful time of giving. The gifts are not the most important thing. Just being with your loved-ones is the most important thing.

3. Remember to be thankful for all of the abundance in your life. Sit quietly and take note of the people and things in your life that you are grateful for.

4. Don’t forget to breathe. Take a break and sit quietly and focus on your breathing. Breathe deeply into your abdomen. Inhale slowly and exhale slowly.

I hope you have a joyful and stress-free holiday season. Email me or add a comment and let me know what you are thankful for. I am thankful for all of the readers and students of Inner Vitality Qigong. I look forward to working with you in the coming year.

Best Chi Wishes,

Change is the Only Constant

Change is inevitable. Change is the only constant in the universe. There will always be change because that is the nature of the universe. Change is the nature of life itself. The universe is expanding, hence changing. The earth revolves around the sun, thus constantly moving and changing. It is the nature of the atom. It is the nature of the stars. It is also the nature of humanity.

Human beings are always changing. We are born. We grow up. We grow old. We die. Did I say the “d” word? Yes, we will eventually die. It is the cycle of life. It is a fact. So, we must live with this reality.

We get so caught up in being comfortable and wanting things to stay the same that we resist change at all costs. We fear change because we fear the unknown. Guess what? The more we fear and resist change the more painful the change will be. We cannot avoid change. We are changing. We cannot resist something that is part of our core being.

It is only when we accept the fact that change is inevitable we will begin to live our best life. We must embrace change and live in the present moment. Let go of what might happen in the future. Fear only limits our potential. Look at change as another opportunity to expand your conscious awareness of life.

If we stop putting our energy into fearing and resisting change, where do we spend our time and energy? How about calming our minds and building our internal energy? How about being of service to others? How about doing something that we are passionate about? How about mastering our body? How about traveling to a country we haven’t been before? How about learning a language? How about learning Tai Chi? How about learning Qigong?

Imagine the possibilities when we just let go and embrace change. We don’t often know what is around the corner. Is it necessary to know what is around the corner? If we knew everything that was going to happen, then there would be no mystery in life. Life would quickly become boring. We can live with the mysteries of life. We can learn to trust ourselves and trust our intuition. That is how we can live with the mysteries and not know what every outcome will be.

It is your intuition that gives you a tingling sensation that you are in danger and you should go a different direction. It is your intuition that tells you that someone will call minutes before they actually do. It is your intuition that gives you the answer to a problem while you sleep. It is by trusting in your true self, that you learn to live in the present moment with change.  You can’t avoid taxes and you can’t avoid change. Embrace change and see how rich your life will be.
