Default Re: mudras - hand yoga

Hi Mudra
Qi Gong, which you mentioned, I also learned some time ago as part of a Bio-energy Course I did.
I think all these practices are helpful in bringing forth awareness of energy in the body.
Kim English Eckhart Tolles's partner runs energy awareness courses,my words not hers,

When Mudra's etc are practised for a period of time one can access and move the energy by focus alone, even send it as in tantric which is a different story which I will not go into,

However there is great joy in practising the Qi Gong movments or stiitting stationary with the hands in a mudra position.
I guess I just got lazy as with a little thought I can feel the energy within.

Incidentally one teacher I went to emphasized the importance of first being aware of the energy (presence within) before engaging in conversation. Its possible to hold a conversation and still be aware of that energy. Then you dont get "pulled" into identifying with the world, loose consciousness.. Eckhat Tolle recomends this. I have managed but just got lazy, forgetting to do it.

Always a pleasure to visit your threads Mudra. An oasis.
