In the Post, had earlier spoken of the Pilates Method, but we get into details
principles that recognize the POWER IQ and that set it apart.
· CONCENTRATION (according to Pilates)
utmost attention and concentration in each exercise, the mind must be the supervisor for each body part.
· CONCENTRATION (according to Power Qi)
Before you can say what "concentration", should make an important premise, that assumption is the first step to conceive the principles of Qi Power (FP).
philosophy or reality?
Just as in the Zen philosophy
A page from the Zen and archery
A page from the famous novel-essay by Eugen Herrigel, speaks of the concentration on breathing and annoying situation in which, trying to do the inner silence, focusing on our breath, emerge a thousand thoughts, moods, feelings,
disturbing elements to the practice. Ma .. "[...] If , continuing to breathe quietly, you accept with serenity what presents itself, you get used to assist with simple spectators, until it was finally tired of the show. So we come gradually to a state of abandonment that
resembles that drowsiness that precedes sleep. slide in is definitely a danger that must be avoided. It deals with a particular step of concentration, comparable to that of a foregone, exhausted from a sleepless night, he knows that from the supervision of all its meaning depends on his life, and if this step is successful even once is able surely repeat it. For it the soul, like alone, finds himself almost hover by itself, a condition, able to grow in intensity, is raised even at that incredible sense of lightness, experienced only in rare dreams, and happy knowledge that they can awaken energies directed in any direction and know how to increase
or dissolve at all levels. This state, where no one thinks, there is proposed, is not pursued, not want nor expect anything more definite, that does not tend toward any particular direction but who knows for his undivided strength to be able as possible of the impossible - this is entirely free to intentions, the ego, the Master calls itself "spiritual." It is full of spiritual vigilance and therefore is also called the "real presence of the spirit." This means that the spirit ende is present everywhere because they do not hang any particular place. And this may be because even when you r ivolge to this or that there will stick with the reflection and thus will not lose its original mobility. Similar to water filling a pond but is always ready to flow, whenever the spirit can act with its inexhaustible power because it is free and open to all because is empty. This condition is truly an original condition and the its emblem,
an empty circle, is not dumb for him who is inside. It is therefore with this full presence and power of his mind untroubled by intentions, and were the most hidden, that man is he was released from all ties to engage in any art. "
"Listening"
The start of each lesson is aimed at preparing listening to the body. Every day our body is new, cells, tissues and emotions are different every moment, our physical condition can change at any moment, the "disruption" of our "world-body," change.
E 'to proceed with this first phase of establishing the "Koine" (includes in its definition of a dialect not only assumed by a particular inflection lexicon in relation to a geographical area, but also those particular forms that reveal character, shared or exclusive, which ignore the local agendas, if anything related to ethnos.), the dialectic, the coded language in order to relate the subjective way (moadalità) "mind-body."
At this point I can begin the "process " concentration.
"Process" , because it is an evolution that can lead to emotional states more advanced (eg, transit and / or self-hypnosis). But speaking of a "movement" gym, we run the repetition of gesture, namely " expressive movement."
Repeat the gesture (gym, athletic or artistic) makes significant factors and variations: the body is active in a differente man mano che il gesto si sviluppa, si attua un arrangiamento neuro-muscolare, che porta ad una riduzione della qualità del movimento, conferendo una non “perfezione” del movimento.
Figurate nella Vostra mente il gesto artistico di un danzatore, il gesto diventa capace di esprimere il “linguaggio” del corpo, delle emozioni.
Ritornando al punto di partenza, (“come un cerchio che tende a ricongiungersi creando un vuoto”), nello ZEN e il tiro con l’arco, non ha importanza se fai centro
“…Il tocco del Maestro aiuterà Herrigel to shake everything off, to remain 'empty' to accept, almost without realizing it, the only appropriate gesture, which is the center - what the Zen archers say: "A shot - a life." In such a blow, bow, arrow, target, and "I" are interwoven so that you can not separate them: the arrow shot into play throughout the life of the archer and the target is hit by the archer himself ... "
The word " Power" does not want to give force or power, is "intentionality capace ”, energia che muove energia e crea nuova energia (E = m x C²) ㋕.
