Quick Practice for Joy and Self Love

How do we open the space in our hearts and minds for self-love?

Here is a quick practice for calling on compassion for the self and muting the inner meanie:

Singing along with any mantra will bring you into a more positive place, but Kundalini Yoga offers a gorgeous English mantra that really clearly and directly builds self-love: “Beautiful Am I, Bountiful Am I, Blissful Am I.”

The three musical renditions of this mantra that I love best are: "Beautiful Am I" on Aykanna’s Livelight; “Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful” on Harnam Singh’s A Fearless Heart; and “Bountiful, Blissful, Beautiful” on Bachan Kaur’s Angels in the Amrit.

Just play them, sing along, enjoy, and believe.

Zhan Zhuang - Foundation of Internal Martial Arts

I found another good article on my favorite topic. Zhan Zhuang - foundation of Internal Martial Arts by Karel Koskuba Most Internal Martial Arts use some form of standing practice as foundation training (and Taijiquan is no exception in this regard). These standing exercises are usually called Zhan Zhuang (pole standing); sometimes they are called 'Standing Qigong'. The standing exercises are supposed to relax and help you 'accumulate Qi'.
