Life Experiences: The Unfolding of Yin and Yang Tai Chi manifests in our world of duality as a multitude of different Yin and Yang combinations. At the human level, these are displayed as life stories. Human beings are born storytellers. Their life unfolds through stories. Everything in life is based on a story, subjectively referred to as ‘reality’. Tai Chi ball training is a safe way to find balance through practice We experience the early part of our lives through other people’s stories (parents, siblings, friends and teachers) before growing old enough to build our own. We develop our own ..read more

Mind Programming’s Impact on Our Health It is difficult to define the mind. It is both a blessing and a curse. It is Yin and Yang at the same time. Understanding how the mind works requires a supernatural talent, a balancing act of becoming an observer. We can become the prisoners of our own minds. Your thoughts become your words. Your words create your actions. Your actions develop habits. Your habits shape your character, and your character affects your destiny. Looking at the previous sentence, one could be inclined to believe that everything begins with the way we think. Our perceptio ..read more

We were brought up to think that accomplishing something requires a struggle. The first rule that governs human society is No Pain, No Gain. The traits of an achiever’s path have included working hard, studying hard, and living hard. But is it accurate to say that resources are scarce and that the only way to succeed in life is through hardship? It might be partly true that we do have limited resources because the Yin Yang sign conveys the concept of a closed system. The universe is shaped by our beliefs. Effortless living or hardship are merely two sides of the same coin. We deserve to c ..read more

Each person will sooner or later experience the death of a loved one. Parents, siblings, children or friends are, for a period, a part of our universe. Within a lifetime, one may experience the death of another and, as a result, a powerful feeling of sadness and grief. But what if I tell you that somewhere not long ago (about 2000 years ago), on the land where I was born, there was a civilization of humans who believed death must be celebrated and honored as a sacred event. The Dacians (ancient ancestors of Romanians), as they were called at the time, were led and taught by their spiritual le ..read more

Dear Reader, On behalf of our Ki Train team, I welcome you to a reading journey where the only limitation is your imagination. While this is not a fictional magazine, we believe that the digital information age has flooded us all with resources and information, many of which cannot be confirmed by evidence from science. The international community of health, healing and spirituality has been increasing at a rapid pace, unfortunately also as a business. We are grateful for the amazing technological advances in western medicine, the availability of both conventional and alternative medical ..read more

True alchemy of the human body goes beyond the anatomy we learned in eighth grade. The fundamental knowledge we’ve been given is limited to biological functions of body parts. There is a lot more to the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and our lives in general. Each bodily part, particularly some of the major organs, plays a significant role in our overall anatomy. Sometimes the metaphysical role is more relevant than the biological one. Understanding the parallel role should elevate our awareness and cause us to pay closer attention and care to them. Liver, Wood, Spring, Growth and ..read more

Imagination is a tool for healing. Children have a natural flair for imagination. A child will have the ability to enter his imagination when he is faced with a challenge in this world. Children converse with imaginary pals in their minds. They have a special lens through which they view the world, gasping hints that the rest of us miss. But why do kids behave differently from most adults? What do they possess that we do not? Instead of finding out what children have, I feel it is vital to look for what they do not have. What suffocates imagination? 1. Fears By replacing fear with cu ..read more

The perception we have of ourselves is greatly influenced by how others view us as unique people. The way we are treated while we are young is quite important. As we become older, we seek validation wherever we can. We require this “vitamin” (vitamin=validation) in order to survive. We get dependent on it, and we’ll do just about everything to get our hands on it. Everyone craves love and attention. Despite how tough we may think we are, we are emotional beings who need love and care to thrive. Our personality’s fragility is both a blessing and a curse. It’s dangerous to assess everything ..read more

The web of interpersonal relationships is itself a school of life. Every partnership teaches us all something valuable. Our encounters with other people shape who we are today, sometimes in painful and other times in joyful ways. Our internal harmony and balance determine the quality of our human relationships. We can save a tremendous amount of life energy that would otherwise be used for pointless drama when we learn the art of relationships. Being a master of relationships is equivalent to being a monk who can become holy without renunciation. Internal Feelings have an Impact on How We Resp ..read more

The muscles are under the control of the mind. They act as a physical representation of our inner strength. Without our muscles, we are without power. The muscles represent the work that must be done and the assignments that must be finished in order to progress. Muscles stand for strength and progress. When we are unable to act, the body takes this as a sign of futility and starts to degenerate. We age more quickly when we are purposeless, and even when we do have a purpose, if our muscles are not in good shape, we won’t be motivated to carry it out. A Person’s Mental Condition is Seen in The ..read more
