I had to share this image. For me it sums up the transformative effects of putting our attention on the objective world. Moving from self-absorbed, conceptually-dominated myopia to upright, direct-relating Rabbit Reality. I think I might just about be the second guy!

My first Cheng Hsin Effortless Power workshop in Paris 😀

Hey everybody, I'm teaching regular body-being classes where I live, near Oswestry. My work is not so much martial, but more about how the principles can be applied to figuring out our current condition and moving in the direction of alignment and healing of body and mind. We explore mobility, flexibility, balance and coordination with an emphasis on the five principles and generating feeling-states to align our bodies to new possibilities. Currently I'm teaching one night a week, with a vision to expand. I know it's a long shot, with me being so rural, but if anyone is in the area I'd love to connect. I'm also open to travel to facilitate classes and workshops.

Thanks to @Viktor Balogh and everyone's contributions in yesterday's weekly session, I felt free from one of my core assumptions about life: 'This life is the only life I have, and I mustn't waste it.' I've had this one since childhood. I realise how some of my core suffering has stemmed from it. I've pressed myself to do something great, to sacrifice my life for a greater cause, etc. I realise I still can carry on with the work I consider meaningful, but simply because I find it joyful, and that's it. And it dawned on me: Life Can't Be Wasted. Wasting life is impossible! What I thought of as Life before is a great Something that is ever-continuing, ever-flowing. It is Real and ever-present and a mystery that sustains itself irrespective of what I happen to assume about it. Great session yesterday! Thanks, everyone.

Generally, people are stuck in a great deal of false realities that produce struggle, suffering, and discontent. Increasing consciousness frees us from this falsely limited world so we can access greater freedom and happiness, not to mention gain more effectiveness and creativity. Becoming more conscious takes investigation, learning, and contemplation. We provide these tools and support.” — Peter Ralston
