Rules of Mind

These are two of the four rules of coordinating mind and body.

​

Think of (keep) your one point .... thereby extend ki.

Established the continuity of simultaneously sensing outwardly and inwardly.

You can't have expansion without a source, and you cannot have contraction without a point the contraction is happening towards.

​

Things I noticed

I can think of my one point easily without extending ki, but this just thinking of it in an abstract way,

like checking that it feels the same as I remember it did before.

If I subject myself to that point, and everything else around me, I can 'project my presence'.

If I make myself the subject of my centre ...

I am where my one point is.

If I move, everything around me moves, like in an immersive computer game.

​

​Obeying rules of body leads to conforming to the Rules of Mind

​

The Light Posture rule - I notice my body adjusts 'bolt upright' … with weight underside

 

The Relax Completely rule - I feel relaxed enough that I can confidently make my presence felt physically.
