UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Clad. In her absolute, primordial nakedness she is free from all covering of illusion. She is Nature (Prakriti in Sanskrit), stripped of 'clothes'. It symbolizes that she is completely beyond name and form, completely beyond the illusory effects of maya (false consciousness). Her nudity is said to represent totally illumined consciousness, unaffected by maya. Kali is the bright fire of truth, which cannot be hidden by the clothes of ignorance. Such truth simply burns them away .

"WHAT YOU PRACTICE, YOU BECOME"

...If you want to exercise your body in a
way that will not hurt it,
...If you want to improve your coordination
and balance,
...If you want to learn to move more freely,
...if you want inner peace,
... If you want to improve your health.

In the book The Zen of Running from 1974 it was recommended to run barefoot and "as undressed as possible" in order to get "well bathed by sun and air"

 

True Tai Chi serves your whole being in a way which few people know or recognise
in our modern world.
My aim is to make the depth of knowledge passed down through the art of Tai Chi available to you and all who are committed to developing in a healthy, natural way.
By practicing and ultimately embodying the principles in Tai Chi, you start to manage your own well-being.
In truth, this is the beginning of an inner journey; a very practical, measurable way to reclaim your own power of spirit: your essential creative ability.

The concept of nakedness is a subjective one. To a simple mind, to an innocent mind, nudity is not offensive; it has its own beauty. But up to now, man has been fed on poison, and gradually, with the passage of time, this poison has "spread" from one pole of his existence to the other. Consequently, our attitude to "nakedness" is completely unnatural

Before Western civilization, nakedness was a normal element of life and considered acceptable in many circumstances. However, as Freud describes in Civilization and Its Discontents, psychological repression of the awareness of our natural being was a necessary step in building civilization.

Any male or Female
who is somehow offended by the sight of a nude body,
probably has some Major Psychological Issues.

Being Naked in the Nude

The Beauty of the naked body in motion

Many people cant be naked around others,
to undress is to bare their insecurities.

Nakedness Phobia?

Defined as "a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of nudity or nakedness", each year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress.
To add insult to an already distressing condition, most nakedness phobia therapies take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear.
Known by a number of names - Nudophobia, Fear of Nakedness, and Fear of Nudity being the most common - the problem often significantly impacts
the quality of life.


A General Intro To Tai Chi

The slow movements of Tai Chi are graceful, powerful, relaxed, balanced, and meditative.
Developed in China over a thousand years ago, this form of exercise unites the mind and the
body, combining aspects of meditation, exercise, visualization, and martial art. Once learned,
a Tai Chi form may take ten minutes to perform. Done once or twice daily, it provides
extraordinary health benefits, improving balance, flexibility, and strength, while calming the
spirit and reducing stress.

About The Tai Chi Form

The art of Tai Chi (actually called T'ai Chi Ch'uan, "Yin Yang Boxing") consists of
perfecting several skills. The most fundamental of these is the Tai Chi form, a classical series
of movements which the student memorizes, much like a music student might memorize a
classical piece of music. Once the movements are memorized, the real work of refining the
movement can begin. The study focuses on the subtleties of relaxation, breathing, and body
alignment. Movement is caused by internal pressure changes rather than muscular tension.
The mind must be flexible, so the body will be supple.
With long term study, good Tai Chi takes into account not only the laws of physics, but the
mysteries of the heart and mind. Fear and anxiety cause tension, which is felt in the body. If
we can undo the tension, we can begin to undo the fear and anxiety. At an advanced stage,
the fear associated with ego can be abandoned.

Centuries of oppressive thought have convinced many people that the body is a shameful, worthless object that should be hidden. Nonsense! The human body is one of the most elegant, masterful and valuable things on earth. There are few things in existence which compare to it on an artistic, technical, or philosophical level. Celebrate the human body! It's one of the truly unique creations.

Why Naked

2.Total Awareness of your body,,when standing or moving naked in the sun or a breeze,even swimming in the nude,the feeling, the body, becomes alive, one has a heightened awareness

3. Many postorial mistakes that inhibit the flow of chi ,and become bad habbits are hidden under clothing

4.Feel closer to nature

5.Freedom from the Known

 

We are always Learning

“Tell me, Subhuti,” Buddha inquired, “Can an arhat think to himself: ‘I have attained the realization of an arhat’?”

Subhuti, his disciple, replied, “Of course not. With such a thought, he would be grasping to the illusory notions of an ego, a personality, and an individual self. Any so-called arhat who holds these notions is a fake.”
~Diamond Sutra

Only in nakedness, Zhang says, can the body's "relationship with the spirit be identified through its direct contact with the object." In other words, he needed to feel the air against his skin.

About Tai Chi Tui Shou, or "Push Hands" exercises

Pushing hands is an exercise to develop Tai Chi skills

The Push Hands exercises also help us deal with fear in the use of Tai Chi as a martial art.
After achieving a state of deep relaxation in the Tai Chi form, students may try to bring that
calm feeling into the practice of push-hands, the two person Tai Chi exercise for the
development of martial sensitivity. Initially, this two person exercise can be extremely gentle,
allowing the practitioners to operate in the most relaxed and efficient manner. Sometimes
using the classical movements, sometimes in a freestyle manner, partners take turns searching
out points of tension on each other. When a point is found, the student must learn how to
relax the tense area in order to avoid losing balance. Over time, by learning correct and
effective ways of relaxing and moving, one is able to absorb sudden and forceful pushes
from one's partner with a minimum of tension and fear. The relaxed body aligns itself
automatically to retain balance.

From “Song of Pushing Hands” (translated by Yang Jwing-Ming)
Be conscientious about Wardoff (Peng), Rollback (Lu), Press (Lu), and Push (An). Up and down follow each other, (then) the opponent (will find it) difficult to enter.
No matter (if) he uses enormous power to attack me, (I) use four ounces to lead (him aside), deflecting (his) one thousand pounds. Guide (his power) to enter into emptiness, then immediately attack; Adhere-Connect, Stick-Follow, do not lose him.

From “Taijiquan Classic” by Wang Zong-Yue
… Following the opponent, bend, then extend. When the opponent is hard, I am soft; this is called yielding. When I follow the opponent, this is called sticking.
