I Sing This Song



I sing this song as my heart dances and peace moves through me. I am happy to be alive. I do not expect to live a lot more but who knows, I could be here for decades yet. I assure you that I am fine with being here and I am fine with not being here one day. I have lived my life in ways that honor what I consider important and meaningful. That is not to say I have not fucked up a lot because I surely have. But on average I am more pleased than embarrassed when I look back over the path I have made for myself. I deeply appreciate that I am still healthy enough to be able to enjoy the fun and mystery of consciousness. I am not what I was and feel it. I am weakened from the cancer and the treatments I went through and get sick and tired more often than before the cancer and that is a drag. But I am at peace with my self and my situation and appreciate what I have and do not dwell on what I have lost. I am older now and do not need or want to be younger. I am content to be who and what I am  I practice some  forms of chi kung and yoga and other disciplines to  regain and maintain my health and will continue to do so, inshAllah.. I have lived the life I wanted to live when I was young and still do now, so I have no regrets beyond the usual ones.
My most profound and beloved teachers have all consistently stressed the importance of being a good student, a good lover/friend, and a good warrior. A good student can learn from anything even a sign on the road. A bad student learns very little even from the best teachers. A good lover/friend on this planet is rarer and more sought after than diamonds or gold. He/she is never without other lovers/friends and is always held close to their hearts and is, I am sure, especially loved by the ultimate Beloved.  A good warrior embraces and honors  his life, he does the same with his death. He dances and sings joyfully with life and all that it brings and is not afraid of or intimidated by the process of his death. Once he has accepted his death he can live life fearlessly and be able and willing to greet his death with  love and honor when it calls for him to come. So trusting in the wisdom and insights of my teachers and friends I have tried and continue to try to be a good student, a good lover/friend, and a good warrior in all my relationships with the various people and situations I encounter.
I have no need to grasp at life in desperation rather I embrace it as a lover and a friend. It is good to say hello to lovers and friends and it is good to say goodbye. I have, I am happy to say, a tribe of friends I respect and love and who respect and love me. I do not feel alone in the zoo and I do not feel alone in the Great Mystery. I often feel and experience an invisible active presence that seems very supportive and loving in its relationship with me. I affectionately and in deference to the women and girls I know and love refer to it as the Goddess. I have said what I have wanted to say, life is good and I am happy I am here. So I sing my songs and dance my dances until I cannot or I am no more. Yanta Yo! inshAllah!

One Hand Near One Hand Far Healing Technique.

One Hand Near One Hand Far is a very powerful healing technique developed by a chi kung master named Dr Zia Gang Sha. You can find more about him by clicking the tiltle of this entry and it will take you there. I posted this information a couple of years ago but I think it is time to do it again. Start by being aware of the lower dan tien. Move your awareness from lower dan tien to the laboring Palaces. If you have a place in your body that hurts or needs help place one of your hands, we will call this hand the near hand, about 4 to 7 inches away from the painful area. Point your first two fingers of that hand at the painful area. Imagine that energy is flowing from your lower dan tien to the Laboring Palace of the near hand. Then guide the chi from laboring palace out through the two pointing fingers into the area in your body being treated. This is One hand Near. Now take the other hand which we will call the far hand, and place it about 12 to 20 inches from your lower dan tien. Aim ...

Congratulations You Did It!!!

I say this to you my student/teacher/brother. You are of the Hawk and Crow People now. The Hawk and the Crow fly with you, now and forever. I salute you my brother. I salute your courage and determination. Congratulations. I celebrate and sing this song. My student/warrior/friend is out of the hospital and eating. His story can be found in my blog sections "When Pain Comes Try This." and "You Can Cower In The Corner Or You Can Stand And Fight." When he was faced with his own fear and pain and uncertainty he chose to stand and fight. When you must chose, chose to stand and fight. Remember we are never alone. Remember that and smile. He has passed one of his initiations with honor and pride. Many others are doing the same even as you read these words. Let all the warriors of the Heaven and the Earth who stand and fight with honor and determination give you courage and strength when you need it most. Remember, you are not alone and smile. A new adventure now opens to...

In Search of the Miraculous. Chinese Medicine

Remember, God treats you like you treat your lover. Being a good lover is the highest form of humanity as far as I am concerned.Sometimes being a good lover means letting go of each other. Such is life. Before I share the first chi kung exercise it is important to understand a couple of fundamental differences that separate Chinese and the western medicine. I am going to be a bit repetitious but as they say " Education is repetition." Western medicine understands and relates to a human being as a physical/psychological/social organism. Chinese medicine understands and relates to a human being as a radiating field of energy that exists in and as a series of interrelated fields of energy all of which exists in an all encompassing field of energy. A human being has a physical/psychological/social manifestation but the key in Chinese medicine is the energy field not the manifestations of the field. If the energy field is strong and balanced health will manifest. If it is not...
