My thoughts on the void is a state between awake and sleep. I've been
meditating and I'm finding it very difficult to stay motionless with a
blank mind. I can't seem to turn the brain off. Then when I can clear it
I get an itch that has to be scratched. This also takes me out of
Alpha. So with a lot more patience I will continue to strive for the
void in my meditations. I use a water fountain to help calm me. This
state of being is very beneficial in our Kung fu because it lets us feel
our moves as they are so we can then re examine and fix the mistakes.
By going into Alpha , which to me equals the void, we allow ourselves to
truly explore our art for what it is. This is mostly about a persons
own view on it. The void tends to mean different things to everyone.
However we do consider the alpha state as a close definition. There are
other versions and the fun is discovering them all for ourselves.
I did dishes, laundry, garbage, bed making and put groceries away.
For
supper we had Pork tenderloin with rice and I took some to work then
had fruit bag and a lemon poppy seed muffin,and a strawberry strudel.
Some fruit smoothie in the morning.
