When we start a spiritual path, be it Buddhist, Christian, etc, most of the time we get too much involved with the external aspect of it. We don’t realize that the rituals, the story behind the religion, the clothing, a particular mantra, and so on, represent only the “tools”, not the end game. If we get too attached to a system or a belief, we forget that we are something more than all of that. We might forget who we truly are. We become rigid, with many opinions and ideas,

Working with ourselves means also encountering our limits. It means to see our negative tendencies and transform those lower tendencies into a greater aspect of ourselves. It's about knowing ourselves on a physical, emotional, and mental level. The Nei Qi Gong path can transform our minds and turn bad habits into good ones. As long as there is mind movement, we will never find that natural blissfulness that we have as human beings when we relax. Nature is a beautiful space to

Intellect wants to understand and analize things in every aspect. And that is tragedy because by attending to the investigation of one thing and putting all our attention in it, we miss sometimes the full perspective. We kill things, rather than living them for what they are. The attitude of always questioning "why?" is quiet bothering. A child asks why endlessly. When we grow up, it gets to a point where most questions are not that relevant anymore, and become almost annoyi

We think that our lives and our role in the universe are very important. If things do not go the way we want or if we go through difficulties and obstacles, we get upset and we make big problems out of it. In reality, if we disappear from the planet earth right now, no one will notice it. We have probably the size of an infinite small bacteria compared to the size of the universe. And we are actually ruining our lives and make ourselves miserable because we are not happy with
