Move Out of the "either-or" of Polarized Thinking

Hi Reader,

How are you? What does your heart say?

Below in this email you'll find information and registration details for the next Qi Writers course (online) beginning June 13th and Free Full Moon Gathering (online) June 5th. Or use these links to go directly to the related registration and information pages.

The theme for this month is Polarized Thinking.

Is it black or white? Good or bad? Right or wrong?

Choosing an "either-or" option limits our ability to see the whole picture. Can we really see all of the factors that caused this moment's event? Can we accurately predict all possible outcomes?

Our True Self is capable of manifesting wisdom gathered from the totality of the situation. Its capacity for creativity to find solutions beneficial to all – people, nature, the collective world - takes us past either-or and into a higher perspective not seen by closing ourselves to other possibilities. But how do we more consistently receive the information our True Self is quietly waiting to provide?

There is a step-by-step path leading us incrementally closer to opening the gateway to our True Self. Put very simply - in a very basic way - here are three ways to begin:

1) Improve your Qi condition so that you nourish Shen (True Self), heart, body, and the channels connecting them. This also has the beautiful benefits of increased physical health, emotional stability, and focus.

I'll just use the word "Shen" for the rest of this article. It contains more of the overall information and meaning than the English translation of True Self.

2) Grow your heart connection so that you create the conditions for your Shen to manifest. It's like creating a cozy home for your Shen. Shen is still, quiet, and at one with the Universe. It provides you with information through your heart and consciousness. It does this in ways your reference system understands - like emotions, images from the heart, and ideas that hold meaning for you. Nourishing your heart also helps you develop the trust, love, and compassion needed to honestly look at your thoughts, behaviours, life, and patterns.

3) Practise pattern work so that you are removing the main barriers to living through the wisdom manifested through Shen.

Polarized thinking is one of the 10 fundamental patterns of the consciousness. These 10 patterns were chosen by Yuan Tze (founder of Ren Xue™ and Yuan Qigong™) as the predominant areas to work on. Unravelling them will help unravel the giant knots of related and supporting patterns which are not so beneficial to life.

Does this sound like work?

It is. And it brings a deeper understanding of self, a lightening of life less burdened by unhealthy patterns, a brightening of self through a greater connection with heart and Shen, and enlightening of life.

Enlightenment is a big word. In Ren Xue, enlightenment is the fourth of nine levels of realization and wisdom. At this stage a person is "fully realized" and is unconditionally manifesting their heart qualities and manifesting True Self. –at least more than not, there is still room to grow at this stage too but it is growth on a whole new level! A fully realized person still has the tails of unhealthy patterns lurking but they now have the ability to change a pattern quite quickly - in a moment.

This stage requires that your consciousness, heart, and Shen be unified.

Developing realization and wisdom is the higher purpose of the Ren Xue system. Along the way, practitioners move into greater health, happiness, wellbeing, growth, and contribution.

How is this possible?

In the past, wisdom teachings were often reserved for a few students who sometimes had the privilege of hiding in the mountains to do just this.

Today, the tools for a comprehensive step-by-step path are readily available to those who choose them. They've been modernized to fit ordinary life. Most of us have work, families and/or vocations. These tools can be used in regular daily life and form an anchor within when life and the world get challenging.

It is a path – an incremental process - supported by nine Yuan Qigong methods, three theories, Yuan Ming Medicine, books, retreats, a global network of teachers and more.

It is now more common knowledge that we need to "live in the present" of "have presence" to live a spiritual life. But how do you actually accomplish that – for real vs pretend?

Follow the step-by-step path that provides the foundation for success on the heart, consciousness, and Shen levels in daily life.

Qi Writers

TRUST is the theme for the next Qi Writers course. We begin Tuesday, June 13 2-4 pm Pacific for six weeks.

What is Qi Writers?

Qi Writers is a process to cultivate deep self-inquiry, self-expression, and creativity. We create the space together by gathering Qi, building a Qifield, writing, and sharing. You'll be guided into your heart, provided life cultivation teachings and related prompts to deepen your self-awareness, transform patterns, and allow expression to the healing and beauty ready to arise.

This step-by-step approach is designed to enhance the whole life - physical, Qi, emotional, consciousness, heart, spiritual, and daily life wellbeing – natural outcomes while moving steadily towards higher levels of realization and wisdom.

This class is suitable for beginners, but if you haven't had any Ren Xue experience please check in with me so I can provide you with some background information.

If you've been life cultivating for a while, this course offers some unique ways to examine your patterns from new angles.

It also tends to bring out beautiful surprises so please come with a light-hearted sense of adventure!

Whether you have a writer’s soul or have never written, whether you’re just beginning your inward journey or want to magnify your self-inquiry, I invite you to join me on a voyage of inner exploration in a supportive and nurturing environment.

Sending you bright Qi and wishes for powerful transformation and an uplifted life.

Wu Xin,

Stephanie
