Shaolin Warrior Qi Gong Practice.

About.

Yesterday my mind let me practice Shaolin Warrior Qi Gong a little, finally.

Went through meditation, warm-up and stretching, and first moves.

i think friends from Sangha supported me with wishes and meditation, so i could train.

i am very grateful for that.

Today i am to continue with this practice, as well as with cleaning my apartment & preparing for work.

By my experience, Martial Arts help me not a first time.

Martial Arts help me to live normal life.

Without Martial Arts, insanity strikes, my life becomes miserable, and i can't work professionally.

Shaolin Qi Gong practices, stretch back to the founder of Zen Buddhism, Bodhidharma. Seeing that his monks were tired from extensive meditation, Bodhidharma composed a set of exercises to give them energy and strengthen their bodies.

Shaolin Temple in Hunan Province, China is the root of all Martial Arts.

... i am deeply inspired by Samurai, many of them Warrior-Poets or other Artists bringing together Strong, Martial Arts with Beautiful Arts in their lives - along with Meditation practices that lead to Enlightenment, as well as Realization of one's full potential.

All of Martial Arts, including Samurai's have roots in Buddha Bodhidharma's Lessons, who taught in the Shaolin Monastery, Henan, China - who brought physical exercises to monks of Shaolin so they are more physically fit for meditation. In stronger body, there's stronger mind.

Over centuries these physical exercises evolved into first Martial Arts, practical in the bandit-ridden country.

Shaolin Martial Arts are inseparable from meditation, even today.

i wish to explore not only Martial Arts, but also Poetry - focusing on Haiku Forms in English, Polish & French Languages - perhaps in future also in Sanskrit, Tibetan & Japanese.

i wish to explore Digital Painting & the Computer Graphics, as well.

Practicing Speech, including Poetry & other forms of Art-expression is also holy Buddhist Practice, in my opinion.

When we speak OM AH HUNG mantras during meditation or in other situations, we develop Mind, Speech & Body.

Beautiful Arts symbolism, as well as Philosophy are important parts of Martial Arts - from belt colors to names, history & tales.

i wish a Martial Arts style i am creating won't lack in these Beautiful, Wise & Enlightening aspects.
