Qigong is connecting to essence.
It's a form of deep listening, not to content but to the essence of the universe: love. We access this by centering, which is a form of letting go in the analytic dimensions of the mind... of being fully present in your body through sound, breath, movement and visualization.
When you're fully connected, embodied and present: you open. As the practice deepens, any feeling of separateness drops away and one may have a somatic understanding, a felt interconnectedness amongst all things. Here's to openings and continued discovery of our interrelatedness.
These Qi poems are offerings meant as a gateway to revel and delight as well as arrive more deeply home. (In)joy!
Nature’s Symmetry

Manzanita (im)perfectly placed
slightly askew in its haste
to hold and honor sacred space
Angular granite giants face
mirrored by outstretched branches
in a distant embrace
Of (negative space)
dark matter, pure light
formless embraced by form
A soft breeze ripples
sending emissaries of light
across the fluidity
Elements convey chi
effortlessly.
