Heart Mind as One

a Standing, Moving Form of Sheng Zhen

This form is for calming the disposition.

A calm disposition has no worries and is able to nurture qi.

A calm disposition is empty; it has no cares.

Qi is in harmony; the body is in balance.

Excerpt from the contemplation for Heart Mind as One:

“The mind is calm when free of the small self.
Traveling upwards, it reaches the heavens; downwards, it goes to the earth. All come together in man.
The heart becomes peaceful. There is love in the heart. Allow this feeling to envelop you and lead your mind to subdue all fears and anxieties.”
