Dear All,
In about one hour I will leave Bordeaux, taking a
TGV for Paris. In France, this morning is the morning of Tousaint, and in
North America this is the day of Halloween.
Last week-end, in Pisa, we have learned the form
THIEN-HA, and you learned it so well. You will discover many interesting
aspects of this special ‘quyen’ (choreographed movements). This beautiful
form is rich in techniques and deep in meaning.
THIEN-HA is its poetic name that
means Celestial River. THIEN-HA also
has a descriptive name, Tuyen-Khac, which indicates the
nature of this form: opposing force.
THIEN HA, Celestial River, remind us the Milky Way. Looking
up to the sky sometimes we ask the question “How these billions stars and planets can
stay stable while in fact they continuously move around at each second of our
time?” One of the answers THIEN HA could suggest is: Because each one has an opposing force to others! Without the
opposing force inherent in each element the order for the whole could be
hardly maintained. It is also true to our body, our family, and our society.
Therefore the art of good health is managing opposing forces inside of our
body in such a way that contributes to the growth of the whole. The art of
living a good life in society could follow the same way: allowing the others to express their opposite opinion and following
the natural course of things.
Did we do it enough in our day to day relationship
with our family members, our pupils, our neighbors, our colleagues?
In term of inner energy, THIEN HA develops opposing
forces through meridians and vital energy points. Please refer to the book
TINH MAT to learn about meridians and vital points. With regular practice you
will discover many interesting points through the THIEN HA.
Each time someone upsets you by their opinion, their
behavior, you don’t need to respond. Just go to a quiet place and practice
THIEN HA, it takes you just a few minutes but it could save you hours of
frustration!
The form THIEN HA consists of eight parts, each part
could be considered as an independent exercise by itself. There is an opening
Posture named Cao-Phong, Dignity, common to all exercises. They are as
follows:
0. Starting Posture: Cao-Phong, Dignity
1.
EXERCISE ONE: LEN DUONG, Taking the Path
2. EXERCISE TWO:
VE NGUON, Returning to Sources
3.
EXERCISE THREE: NOI-KINH, Training Inner Forces
4.
EXERCISE FOUR: ANH DUONG, Rising Sun
5.
EXERCISE FIVE: MAY XA, Infinite Clouds
6.
EXERCISE SIX: NGAN HA , Milky Way
7.
EXERCISE SEVEN: DOI LUC, Opposing Forces
8. EXERCISE EIGHT: THAN PHONG, Hurricane
Best wishes to all.
