Thought has mass, velocity and direction.

How we think—chaotically or precisely—shapes our world. Chaotic thinking creates a random existence. Consistent thoughts aimed toward a goal, create precisely what we have thought.

How we think—with goodness or resentment—provides the quality of our life.

The Problem: If we are treated poorly, as children or adults, our thoughts may
reflect this treatment. Our thoughts may not be generous or kind to ourselves,
and we may, without knowing, continue our own poor treatment.

The Solution: As adults we have the ability to direct and control our thinking.
With practice and commitment, we can change the outcome of our day and life.

Making change is simple: To change our lives, we change our thoughts, words and actions.

Slowly, gradually and with repeated practice, we form new habits and make the life we want!

Our life changes for the better.

At the beginning, change is difficult. After a few months, change is stable and
easy to maintain.

To change your life for the better, read what I write… here, for free. Practice the few simple
exercises you find. Practice again and again until this practice is your lifestyle, something you
do every day without thinking.

You will have new and improved experiences of your life, again and again, until “something good”
is your daily habit, until “something good” is routine.

This is how immortality life is built.

Immortality is steady and calm.

There are many answers and many paths to the same question.

Qi Gong is one practice. Qi Gong is one thing I know and do.

Qi Gong is done in silence, yet there is no silence–simply fullness
that is steady and calm.

(Below are two easy Qi Gong videos… for “steady and calm.”)

Time and Death

Of what importance is time, if time never ends
and time never began?

Sit quietly, relax and gently focus on your
breathing. Don’t try to control anything; let your
mind wander if it wanders; then bring an easy
focus back to your breathing.

As you practice this exercise, you may experience
a deep and steady sense of self? You may notice
time is gone, and there is one single moment.

The moment is your soul.

This post presents the free exercise, “Finding Peace.” Below are two videos and an audio to help you.

“Finding Peace” consists of simple instructions for relaxation that work together with the “Qi Gong Warm Up.” By doing this exercise you will develop new:

Balance, peace & strength.

By repeating this exercise, you will gain greater balance, peace and strength!

Remember: Problems are complex; solutions are simple and quick. But you may have to practice and repeat the solution to get the desired effect? So practice and repeat “Finding Peace.” Two or three times a day are enough with sessions of 7 to 12 minutes.

The body and brain naturally know how to relax, gain strength and find peace–it is our design. We simply need to provide the right setting and the best circumstances. Peace will come; strength will grow. The secret is practice and repetition.

“Finding Peace”  -  Part I

1. Find a quiet and restful place to sit.
2. Close your eyes, and place each hand’s palm down on the top of your legs.
3. Begin to breathe in an easy manner.
4. Observe your breathing; do not control it.
5. By observation, you may notice relaxation taking place, but don’t force relaxation to happen.
6. Feel and notice your muscles from head to toe.
7. Gently suggest your muscles relax and let go.
8. Gently observe your breathing again.
9. Relax your brain and nervous system.
10. Observe your breathing one more time.
11. Relax your muscles again from head to toe.
12. Play Part One of  ”Qi Gong Warm Up” below…

“Finding Peace”  -  Part II

1. With your eyes closed, imagine you can see through you eyelids.
2. Imagine you can look to the tip of your nose, in an easy and relaxed manner.
3. You are now looking through closed eyelids to the tip of your nose, pretending you can see.
4. From the tip of your nose, imagine a ruby red arch going out from your nose and curving into your heart. Hold this image for a few seconds.
5. Breathe easy, in and out. Relax.
6. Visualize your feel rooted deeply to the ground, as a tree.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6.
8. Play Part Two of  ”Qi Gong Warm Up” below…

This is the end of the exercise.

The secret is practice and repetition, doing it again and again. Strength and peace are waiting for you; they are your design. Make it happen, and do it again.

The place where our mind and body are calm, is

where we are, right now. To find this quiet core,

we must be calm and still. Perfect peace will come as we

pursue this place within ourselves.

It does not take long to make each day a good one,

but it does require some time and action.

In the morning:

1. Think something good and hold that thought.
2. Have a good wish and want it for a minute.
3. Vision good-will in yourself, and in all you will meet.

Tell yourself how you are going to feel, act and respond throughout the day.

Make the choice to feel good and do what’s right!

Make a plan for the day of good feelings, good thoughts and deliberate actions.

Renew and rehearse this plan 6 times a day, or 4 times or 3? Renew and rehearse your plan throughout the day!

Repetition and practice are the secret to success. This is a state of mind to practice over time

Every day has a good quality and so do we!

It gets easier and easier to feel good and affect our life in an excellent way, as we practice and rehearse the quality of life we want. The world and other people begin to respond to our good intent.

Over time, our life transforms by taking “baby steps.” Giant leaps are rarely used.

Make today the best…

We can solve problems using the “Design of Life.” The design of life is who we are. The design of life is everywhere we look. Benevolent in nature, this design is ready to assist.

The design of life is good and ready to help.

How do we solve a problem with this design—the design of who we are, the design of life itself?

Solve any Problem in Five Easy Steps:

1. Distance yourself from the problem
2. Define the problem
3. Consider all possibilities
4. Ask that the problem be solved
5. Act to solve the problem

How to Distance Yourself from a Problem

As we face a problem, perhaps insurmountable, perhaps small… we need to pause and relax, making sure we are not the problem itself or a major contributing factor?

Relax and rest, take action to free your mind and fall into peace. Allow the design of life to work in your favor. Allow yourself to forget your problem, and shift your attention to something good. Disengage from the act of trying to solve the problem. Allow the design of life to assist you.

Once we have disengaged or stopped thinking about the problem, solutions can arrive… with little effort. Often our thinking, a thinking filled with worry and concern, can interfere with the part of our brain that can form a solution.

We may need to relax and shift our attention to something else that has nothing to do with the problem. A night of sleep may help?

If we let go a little, disengage from the problem and allow the design of life to assist us, solutions present themselves with little effort.

How to Define a Problem in a Way that Will Solve It

After we have rested and allowed ourselves to relax… we may ask ourselves, “Is there still a problem”?

If the answer is yes, we ask how big or small is the difficulty? Have we exaggerated or underestimated? If the problem still exists, we ask ourselves, and life, to define the problem and explain how this problem can be solved?

We ask our mind of peace and calm to tell us what the problem is? We wait for understanding. We allow the best solution to present itself. We allow the design of life to work in our favor.

We do not rush into action. There may be no problem at all? We may simply need to move on. Or there may be a solution at hand and ready for our consideration?

Find All Possibilities for Solving a Problem

What do we have to actually do? What actions do we have to take to solve a problem? Is it best to do nothing, or maybe do very little?

If we are angry, it might be best to wait until the anger subsides? If we are angry and want to tell someone how we feel… it might be best do this when we have better control?

Anger is helpful in an emergency when we have to act quickly. As a basis of action, however, anger is rarely needed in our modern world.

We need to express anger, but in a manner that does not cause harm. Yet anger held too long can be toxic to our bodies and minds.

Ask of yourself and others, the best way to express your anger? Usually a talk with a trusted friend is all we need, or a session with ourselves writing out our feelings of frustration.

To solve a problem, we must take action of some kind… or wait for time to remedy what we cannot control.

Ask for a Solution to Your Problem

As we have a clear and defined picture of what a problem is, we might ask that the problem be solved. We can ask for the strength and courage to do what we must do. We can ask for patience and assistance from all the world.

Life is designed to help us and meet our needs.

If we need an answer or want something fixed… if we need help with a specific problem, we usually must ASK for help. No one can help us if we do not tell them what the problem is and ask that it be solved.

The world is designed to help us, but we must ask to receive this help. To engage the responsive design of life, we must ask for what we need.

If we cannot solve a problem, there is usually another person willing and able to help us… if we ask for help.

A problem held alone can rarely be solved. A problem shared may quickly come to an end.

When we share a problem, the world comes to our rescue. When we share what is wrong, we network and connect.

Attempting to solve a problem alone, we are disabled. As humans, we are designed to live and work in partnership—joined with others and not alone.

Take Action to Solve the Problem!

Often, problems are never solved because we don’t take action to solve the problem. We may know what to do, but we do not do it?

So ask yourself, why have you not taken action to solve a problem? Why do you wait? Do you need to wait, or should you act now?

The cause of delay may be that there is another problem that must be solved before the BIG problem can be approached. Ask yourself again, “What is the problem”?

Go through all 5 steps again. Make your best decision… to act or wait?

There is always something we can do to improve a situation. There is aways something we can do to improve ourselves.

If taking NO action, or waiting, is the best decision to be made… action is still required to wait productively. Waiting can be a time of growth and opportunity. To make the most of waiting, we need to have a plan… a plan of how to wait in a useful manner.

For solving a problem, waiting or doing nothing may sometimes be the best plan of action. By waiting, doing nothing and not making a problem worse… we allow the design of life to work in our favor.

The best feelings often accompany the bad. First,
allow yourself to feel.

When we get centered, grounded and have found
ourselves—most feelings are good, and bad feelings
pass from us quickly.

To feel good, practice feeling; practice knowing who
you are. Feeling good consistently begins with desire
and happens through practice. We all deserve to feel
good. Goodness is who we are!


To begin:

1. Sit quietly, and be still
2. Quell judgment

Observe thought if it comes, but do not perpetuate
thinking. Random thought is natural; don’t resist.
Observe, and let it go.


3. Observe your breathing, in and out

But do not attempt to control your breathing. Simply observe.

4. With quiet, gently observe

Focus again on your quiet. If there is no quiet within you,
imagine there is. Imagine how it would feel, how it would look?
What is the shape, color and location of your quiet?

5. Allow thought to be present or absent as you sit
6. Observe your thoughts when they come
7. Do the same with feelings

In time, you will know.

With practice, you will understand.
Your feelings will come under control.
Your thoughts and life will occur with greater ease.

8. This requires practice

A thousand pages of instructions and videos could
be shown; but this is all the information you need.

The truth is simple.

9. Who we are is simple

Fear breeds complexity and confusion, so does ambition. Get quiet.

Sitting still, of our own volition, allows the “true person” to appear.
Good feelings then happen.

This requires practice.

10. Do Qi Gong

In hate, we do harm to ourselves and harm
others.

The hate we feel is our own hate, caused by
ourselves, and no one else. We are the only
ones who can stop it.

This hate we feel is ours alone and hurts us
the most. We are feeling it, the hate, with
our own heart, our own mind, our body and
soul.

The hate is ours, and we are hating
ourselves as we hate others.

Hate is a physiological activity in our brain and
body. Hate for another begins in us, and stays
with us alone.

When we hate, we are the ones being hated,
the ones we hate are left alone.

When we hate, this hate and resentment hurt
us the most, regardless of what others have done.

Our hate inevitably hurts others, blameless
others in our way.

Hate disconnects our brain and heart, we go
numb with senseless harm… coming from our
behavior.

Hate must stop. We stop hate by looking in
its face and asking hate some questions?

We stop hate by listening to what it says, by
asking our hate what it hates and why? How was
it hurt and what happened? What can be done to
repair the harm? Where is the hate coming from?

Talk to hate as you would a child; hate operates
on a child’s terms. Hate can be extinguished as we
would extinguish hate in a child… by loving firm.

We listen to our hate as we might listen to a child
who has been hurt. We listen and understand. We
give calm to that vulnerable place and space that
has been hurt with hate and harm.

We let the innocence arise where there has been
hurt. We find the strength behind the hate and
grieve the pain that hate has hidden for so long.

“Gold” will arise; the soul will emerge unharmed.

Love may then come, to replace the space once
held by hate. We feel better, are more complete
and strong.

Hate can weaken and fade, as we give it attention.
Hate can lead to a love in full strength, if we follow
the harm.

Hate is good if we listen. Hate is holding the “gold”
of our heart, trying to keep it safe.

If we are patient and strong, hate will surrender
a gift we thought gone.

Love gives us full strength; hate leads to love.

Bad feelings lead us to good thoughts and personal “Gold.”

Find one bad feelings: a hurt or injury from another, a resentment

or ill will of your own toward someone else.

Specifically, there may be someone you do not like, or something

someone did you are not happy about. First, look to those closet to

you; this is the most productive place to begin.

What happened? What is the thought? What are the feelings?

With no judgment of yourself or the other person, take a look;

what do you see and feel? Keep looking. Withhold judgment of

yourself and the other person; simply observe your thoughts and

feelings around the situation.

Slowly, focus away from the thoughts and move toward feelings.

What is the feeling? Where is the feeling in your body? What is the

shape of the feeling; give it a shape. What is the size and color of the

feeling,  give it size and color.

Now, simply observe the feeling and associated thought. Don’t do

anything else; observe and watch.

With awareness, solution will come. Simply observe, without judgment

of yourself or the other person. Observe in a gentle an caring manner.

With the intention of acceptance and love, simply observe.

Immortality works the same, observe the immortal quality of your

soul as your body. Observe and look at the immortal quality of

your physical self.

If nothing happens and you have no “experience” of your immortality,

it does not matter. In time you will, in your own way, understand

your immortal nature.

Your immortal nature is already in existence. It is there as your body,

mind and feelings. Simply watch it, observe, and it will emerge to teach

you who you are.
