The original heart is the heart that is self-sufficient, the heart that does not seek outside. If the mind is not pure and quiet, it is easy to deviate.
With a quiet, clean heart on the road, the road has thousands of landscapes, will not be obsessed with a particular landscape. You will not be trapped in a particular place. The reason why you are trapped is because of greed, because of obsession.
Walking, quietly observing, but not obsessed, not caught up.
Everywhere you go, there is a breeze and a lotus flower everywhere.
Not obsessive, not demanding. I'm not going to be able to do that. I don't want to look at other people's lives, but I want to focus on my own journey. I'm not going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do what I like.
Not stuck in the heart, not chaotic in love. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do that.
Continuously put down, constantly peeling off their own layers of shackles, the bloom of the original heart and the original heart of their own will come out. That's the realest and most natural model of life, that's the original self-sufficient.
Such a living organism needs to be constantly cultivated, and needs to be realized at all times, rather than being lightly talked about. Everyone can talk about it, but not everyone can realize it.
Because many people are accustomed to go outside to find the answer, and are not willing to amend their own words, actions, thoughts, after all, from the outside is easy, do not have to be responsible for their own. So people look outside, the world outside, the people and things outside, and people are used to focusing on the outside.
Whereas Zen dance and meditation are inward looking, starting with your own body, reading the language of your own body. When you read yourself, you read all life.
So take back the outward focus, come back to shut yourself down, come back to examine yourself, come back to scrutinize yourself, come back to understand yourself. When you understand yourself, you understand all life.
Focus, where you put your focus, where you put your focus, the greatest gains and achievements are. Wherever you use your concentration, it will flourish and flourish and flourish. So use your focus well.
Many people's minds are scattered, many people's focus is scattered, looking out blankly, everything is shallow, thin, powerless, out of control, overwhelmed. Take the mind back, put the mind away, bring the mind together. The scattered heart and mind to recover, in order to move the heart and mind.
How to recover? Zen dance or meditation. Zen dance is a very good way, Zen dance is not a performance, not the movement of the body with the music, but the return of consciousness, is the internal view, is the return of the body and awakening.
What is music? It is the external context, the external environment. Interaction with music is interaction with the environment, flowing out of a harmony between the individual life and the environment, a process of harmony and unity with the situation.
What is Zen Dance? It is a tool for cultivating the body and mind, a dynamic meditation sitting, an unconscious consciousization, a deep interaction with the mingling of heaven and earth, the language of the soul, the expression of the subconscious mind, a deep cleansing and releasing, a reshaping and awakening!
What is the difference between Zen Dance and normal dancing?
Divine Dance is also a kind of dance, and general dance is an emotional catharsis and unblocking. And Zen dance is at a deeper level. Zen, a realm, can achieve the expansion and elevation of consciousness. Zen dance focuses on Zen.
The general dance is doing the dredging and transformation of emotions, and Zen dance is also doing this homework. It's just that it's much deeper and broader than that. It is the wisdom of the old Chinese ancestors.
Zen dance, do not be obsessed with the appearance, but to quiet the mind, experience and feel their own body. Zen dance must start with meditation and relaxation, not just up and dance.
In Zen Dance, one must return to oneself and take back the outward gaze and mind a little bit. So, the process is slow and not even pretty enough. But that's okay.
Just a little bit of true face to their own body and mind, just a little bit of acceptance of the present moment of oneself.
Really slow down before you can go fast. The real stillness can only be moved. The real unity of mind and body can be still and move freely.
This is a process, is a stage by stage training. It's not something that can be imitated by watching others jump, it's not something that can be jumped at random, it's not something that can be thought about.
The need for real internal strength and cultivation!
How to practice? With awareness and consciousness, as much in life as in work, not just in Zen dance.
Meditation Energy Zen Dance is a process of practicing mindfulness and internalization. Life is full of Zen opportunities, and in the face of the trivialities of the world, do we have a pure and free heart, and can we make the environment around us into music?
As the saying goes, "Zen ～ to follow the destiny of the line does not stain the heart, all the changes do not take away their freedom; dancer ～ to the body into the line such as music, the nature of the spirit of the empty without obstacles."
