Sense of self

Last night I had a good stand. Chi flowing, connection to the earth, all the things that I do this standing for. When that happens my entire sense of self changes.

Earlier in the day, I'd been gripped in self-hatred, feeling weak and vulnerable to all the things happening in my life right now. But standing I feel like a different being, someone healthy, vital and safe.

Maintaining a committment to Zhan Zhuang gives my life a simple sense of purpose. To just stand today and everyday in this energy. To aspire to health, and wholesome power.
