Wu Wei

"We must first learn how to climb mountains, but when we are ready to climb them we will know only our breath".

Flow oriented action, as natural as the movement of the trees in the wind. In a way, it is the definition of Taoism; Wu Wei. It is the same as "not doing" in Zen. It can be expressed in art form, adventure, and the simplest of activities such as washing dishes; it is a question of discipline. What is the difference between simple action and disciplined action? Ego.

In a flash, Sound Therapy

To the vibration; the energy, we owe just about everything from the sensation of taste to the dreams and real life moments that touch so deeply. As a musician I have been practicing the actuation of vibration with intention for many circles around the sun. In the past circle I began to practice sound therapy influenced by traditional Tibetan Buddhist, Hindu and Taoist practices. I emphasize 'influence' for music in its purest form has always been an expression of the moment; the fruit of Wu Wei. In his interpretation of the "Tao Te Ching", Stephen Mitchell writes "If I haven't always translated Lao-Tzu's words, my intention has always been to translate his mind. It is in this spirit I have practiced the art of sound therapy; not as it was done then but as it grows in me. Tonight was an immense moment in my learning. As you might imagine, the dynamics of sound, or, acoustics are very particular, after all it is a science as well as art. A frequency is as precise as a degree and has an influence of matter; energy just as temperature does on water. Many frequencies have little effect, just as many degrees have little effect. But just as there are thresholds, such as the temperature at which water turns for liquid to soil; liquid to vapor, there are indeed thresholds with frequencies in relation to matter. The main threshold being the specific frequency at which a particular mass resonates, such as the human eyeball which is around 8 Hz according to NASA. Everything resonates. Everything is resonating. Any kind of therapy only works with the subjects "participation", and when it comes to subtle therapies; ones that effect energy flow, emotional or mental health, participation is often a difficult thing for it requires a continuity throughout one's intention, action, concentration; total presents of being. this in itself is the often the crux of these kinds of therapies. When lightning occurs it creates thunder, which is a complex sound with many harmonics at fantastic volume, or pressure. The fundamental frequency of thunder according the Schumann Resonance is approx. 7.5 Hz. I have been researching Infrasonic waves and have come to the conclusion that they can be very beneficial to the body/mind if used deliberately. The good part is that these waves travel around the world so you don't have to be in the exact spot as the storm, but it would naturally make it more effective. They can also be created by ocean waves and other natural events like an avalanch. I think spending time on raw earth barefoot regularly is fundamental to total health. I also think the frequencies generated in lightening storms are also greatly beneficial to total health provided you are intentionally there to recieve the benefit. If for no other reason than to bathe the body in the awe of natural resonance, amid the overwhelming artificial frequencies we are bombarded with each second of each day.
