of mice and men often go awry”, as Rabbie Burns reminded us.
Since the weekend, I’ve come down with a heavy cold in full gurgling glory. I don’t think it’s a good idea to practice in this condition – not sure how abdominal breathing would affect my system when I have a nose full of goo, so my training schedule is suspended for the duration.
Bleh. Achoo!
Hey, don’t stop. You must keep energy flowing.
Cold = Yin = lack of movement. Keep the Yang flowing, moving, all your energy ways circulating. Don’t press too hard, just do what you always do. Or better, do some Tai-Chi.
Well, I felt better by this evening. I seem to feel worst in the morning – biorhythms perhaps? Anyway, since it was pouring with rain, I stayed in my apartment and worked on taijiquan, taiji dao, and bagua qigong, for about an hour and a half. Thanks for the encouragement!
I don’t agree.
When you’re sick, your body needs some rest. You are human, after all, and making germs circulate more made me more sick.
Take it easy, and don’t push too hard, let it grow naturally, aren’t you an adept of daoist arts?
You can take it easy by practicing only 30-60 minutes per day, instead of 2-4 hours
