| Collected |
Another aspect besides Qi mobilization and regulation is collectedness. Not spiritually, but in a very basic, foundational level, and a little bit mechanic too.
Seems now I am recording some thoughts in hungarian on video and paralel posting in english, hopefully it works. Several other projects seeds been planted, i wait patiently which will grow… 
Some longer term, some immadiate.
So many times we may hear in difficult times: ” Collect yourself!” Usually best friends being honest enough to point to the core of the problem.
Nowadays lots of emphasis on collecting our selves psychologicly, so many „works on themsleves” with these modalities or techniques. On mental and psychological aspects. Sometimes it seems to me a little out of balance.
Collecting ourselves could be understood on other leves as well.
1) Bodily. Posture, Strength, flexibility, endurance and vitality.
2) Qi level. Channels, energetic centers and organ functions ( different kinds of Qi )
Sometimes I find it quiet effective to touch upon these two levels instead of more „brain work”. Sometimes problems are created on brain, mind level. As modern times our mind is bombarded with information and stress, and somehow we decide to work on them more on this level with other techniqes. And it seems this aspect of our being is screaming: „For the sake of Peace leave me a minute of rest ! „
Our energy, Qi can also become scattered, dispersed and eventually exhausted, burned out. A phase of nei gong practise usually is to collect, to consolidate. This could be understood as a certain quality of us. If we keep spending and spreading, out quality will become thin, dispersed. Usually we feel weak and cloudy these times, lacking anchor and stability.
So to nourish collectedness is a major part beside regulation. For those who tend to spend more they can expect organ functions to become deficient, and thus emotional imbalances. Also energetic centers collectedness correlate to the linked physiological and psychological aspects.
Sorry, but from this point of view it can be that simple. Once a shiatsu , tuina or acupuncture treamtent helps balance us out, this what happens. But to me more interesting the navigation of nei gong / qigong practise that effectively, truly has an impact on many aspects of our being.
So another layer introduced, collectedness. Calmness is really close here, once we manage to stabilze collectedness of body and Qi, we have a chance to a broader calmness. Which leads to centeredness and a relative clarity. Better choices. And so on.
