Thought Art

@Javfly33 Yeah okay like he really knows. I still know little. But, I am not pulling my ideas out of my no where. Hawkins stuff is useful… but I think you will find it fails underneath the strain of human psychology

@The Blind Sage No man those are definitely just your labels and framing on how YOU use those words. I personally don’t see the value in framing those two words like that. How people use there words is murky

@Javfly33 no.. who cares what Hawkins said. That knowledge or even desires to not get in trouble in society is what I am calling healthy shame.

Still getting used to my mod layout. Sometimes I click “edit” instead of “quote”. When I exit out it leaves that I edited the post though I changed nothing. Just my big dumb thumbs.

Give it a try and post results below! --- What is Qigong? Qigong (pronounced "chee-gong") is a holistic system of coordinated body posture, movement, breathing, and meditation that is practiced for health, spirituality, and martial arts training. The term Qigong is composed of two Chinese words: Qi (pronounced "chee"), which means life force or vital energy, and Gong (pronounced "gung"), which means skill or work. The practice of Qigong has its roots in Chinese philosophy, traditional medicine, and martial arts, and it is believed to have been developed over thousands of years. It is based on the principle that the body, mind, and breath are intimately connected and that the flow of Qi can be manipulated to promote health, balance, and harmony. There are many different styles and forms of Qigong, each with its own unique practices and techniques. Some forms of Qigong focus on gentle movements, while others emphasize stillness and meditation. Some forms are designed for specific health conditions, while others are used for martial arts training. Qigong is often practiced in group settings or in classes led by a trained instructor. It can also be practiced on one's own, and many people integrate Qigong into their daily routines as a way to maintain health and well-being. Scientific studies have shown that Qigong practice can have a range of health benefits, including reducing stress, improving immune function, lowering blood pressure, and improving balance and flexibility. Additionally, many practitioners of Qigong report feeling a greater sense of peace, calm, and vitality as a result of their practice.

I definitely know very little but I enjoy learning.

We need to do work that is top down (cognitive behaviours) and bottom up (Somatic Practice). Qigong can be used in part of a toolbox to do that work. But, for these types of issues it's a much deeper and complex process of healing. Like, I find Qigong relaxing but I still have stresses and challenges that require direct experience, feeling, and facing those challenges through direct experience with consciousness.

Haven't watched a show in years

Reading these threads is so interesting to me. Everyone is so full of shit. Most of us here just simply don't know. You think you know. But you just don't know. You hardly understand any of the things you think you know. Why are you so attached to one path vs another? How much do you really know? How much is just your own personal bias? How much of the situation are you seeing? How many interpretations are possible here which you haven't thought of? Regardless, I think the comparing Leo and Frank is nonesense. I just don't see it. Franks content is fun, but what is there? There is no real depth. It is very human though.

@Frosty97 Gave you freedom I have no idea

@Blackbeat Qigong is very practical

You know how much shit I got from family and friends about practicing and training to teach Qigong? 0 shits given this practice is helping me so much. I've had people break down in tears of joy after a practice. so, it's worth it.

Buddhism is really a science of living well.

Ya just don't know do ya Death being "Bad" is just like, your opinion bro. Honour your life. But don't demonize something you don't know. You exist right now as a human. So, honour it. I deal with suicidal thoughts from time to time. But, I know they are like passing waves.

Well, I'm not really Thought Art I am... Thought Art.

@Basman Follow form guidelines

@Breakingthewall Whatever you’re ignoring the obvious or just making distinctions with a map different from mine. All good.

Start low

Are you being gentle

@Breakingthewall What line of processing? Healthy shame is what stops you from shitting on the Walmart floor. Toxic shame is when you have shame that disrupts your ability to live a good healthy life

called life

@Hojo You Don’t know ?
