What Lies Within

What an excellent reminder of why the internal martial arts are exactly that: INTERNAL There is no competition, and hence should be no ego. I’ve had brief moments of competition, and had to knock them firmly into place – against either the imagined adversary or, more occasionally, against myself. There is far too much existing in life already that is a competition – why are human beings so eager to add fuel to the competitor pile? Such silly creatures we ~~sometimes~~ often are! I gave up serious competition when I quit music lessons at the age of 14 or 15; I don’t even take speech competition seriously… there is SO much more than (even friendly) combat.

I made purchase this week of one of my heart’s desires: a far infrared sauna.

What have I done this week?

I’ve wrestled with fibromyalgia “symptoms”, juiced, and attended various important/useful meetings. I have kept up my commitment to meditation classes, but unfortunately Qi Gong fell by the wayside as we had an executive meeting for Royal City Toastmasters. Despite the weakness in my legs, I need the exercise… and I have to abolish the fear that I can’t do it. I feel the doubt but I need to do it anyway. (Thank you, John Assaraf: The Answer)
