the way of residing in peace…

If you want to enter the Dao you should get prepared. Means body and mind are ready for it. When your personal body has a good foundation, your mind can find gradually peace. The energy and spirit radiate in harmony and you can enter real tao.

When movement and action becomes necessary, be careful not to overdue and exhaust yourself because this will diminish your energy (Qi/Chi). On the other hand you can´t exist without movement. No movement and no action means you will create blockades. Means sickness and pain. The balance between action and non action is the secret of success on the taoist and buddhist way. Called middle path. You should therefor find a way between action and tranquility. Then you can guard the eternal and be at peace with your lot.
