    It allows you to access, to hear, the “still, small voice”. Living in the present prevents the spirit of fear. Really good stuff - thanks. DOL

    禅(zen)は本当に極めようと思うと途方がありません。ですが、禅は誰でも気軽に場所を選ばずに出来ます。さらに言えば寝転がっていても可能です。要は考え方、捉え方です。静の中で自分の鼓動、脈拍、息遣いなどの微かな音を聞きそれを整える事から始めましょう。慣れてくれば完全な無を体現することに努めて下さい。決してリラックスすることではありません。ですが、緊張もしてはいけない。気づけばあなたは、あなたではなく自然の一部になっています。それが禅です。

    Great Message Tu! We (America) are so skilled as a nation at training & creating spectacular combat warriors of all levels and skill sets, then we toss them away like rags when their commitment is finished. The Ancients knew, that after Life and Death Combat, Men and some Women, had to be "stepped down" before they could be integrated back into civilized (though I wonder these days) society. Meditation was the key methodology on every continent, from every warrior tradition around the world. I would go so far as to suggest that every combat vet, go through a mandatory one-three month, paid, meditation retreat, along with any necessary therapeutic counseling, starting with one to two hours per day increasing to as many as 4-6 hours of meditation practice per day, BEFORE, they are returned to society. As always, a soldier, sailor, marine or airman's loved ones would and should be encouraged to participate. This should be a Military-wide program.

Your words and teachings have been such an inspiration to me and I think about them on a daily basis. Thank you for your words and your practice which accompanies me on my journey. I would like to one day take your classes and shake your hand. Peace, sir.

    My fiancee is experiencing anxiety from the uncertainty that current events are causing. I'm trying to share with her the peace that comes from meditating on scripture and how God has a plan for us that involves a good outcome: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."
    (Jeremiah 29:11)
    We become what we focus on. If you focus on the positive, on what is holy, that is what you will become through daily discipline.

    @anaMoc1038 2 года назад

    I’ve got something you might be interested in Tu. Take the recycling breathing of the aboriginal Australian didgeridoo.
    So when your on your next PT run, and you start to get tired. Think as you breath out, about breathing inn, and as your breathing inn think about breathing out. So a total disconnect of mind from body. Then combine it with the trees giving off oxygen, and you giving back carbon dioxide and the symbiotic relationship of photosynthesis that you are part of. Maybe it sounds a little weird to you. Lol

  • @jayd3337

    I end up unconsciously breathing in and out at work. Some of my coworker just aggravating as hell, but the breathing helps me truck through. Just learned to live life on my own terms.

  • @iLLeag7e
    @iLLeag7e 2 года назад

    Ronin Senpai! *bows respectfully to teacher & dojo* I am very eager to study any and every technique for breathing Tu Lam says to learn. Breathing methodically is probably the most consistent, easiest to accomplish, most guaranteed way a person can control the inner tides of his or her own serenity & aggression. The resting state of mind a body returns to when not active can be purposefully manipulated into an even more ideal state of being in only a few moments, even quicker with continued training, by using the lungs, gut, limbs and mind to alter the chemical composition of the aspirating blood inside us all. Stupidly effective techniques bring stupidly effective results. Good God the massive amount of self control I see in everything Tu does makes me fucking hopeful that when we find a limit, we will smash through whatever barrier tops the reservoir of potential our species has for itself to draw from.

    Bitching about the snow doesn't change how much snow there is, only how you feel about it.
    Live now, learn to accept that things are and that your perception of them determines whether they are good or bad.
    Great message, and a great way of life, but you have to practice at it every day.

    You should do a video of your tattoos like the story and meaning behind them. And where did you get your bracelet that you wear on your right wrist? Also you should do a video of what your workout routine is and stretching routine. And how you train for blade fighting and h2h combat.

    I have to disagree.
    ‘There is beauty in chaos’ -I don’t know. No one should know the future. We can do our best to prepare for it, so we can make the right choice. There are plans and there are back up plans numbered B-what ever. “Build your house upon a rock” -Mathew 7:24-27. The world isn’t run by machines real people making real choice and taking chance is what keeps the world spinning. Real Miracles are unexpected. Mistakes are made and we learn from them. Lessoned learned, move on.
    “…Adapt and over come…” -Gunnery Sergent Highway ‘Heartbreak ridge’.
    Everytime someone clears out a structure or has to treck through a forest there is a risk and chance that has to be taken. With faith in God, self reliance, display of wisdom, and an assessed risk; the right choice will bear it’s fruits.
