#YI JING JING TV#

In this sense, channels do not mean good irrigation, they mean something akin to TV channels. One other way to conceive of Jing as meridians, or channels, is to see them as aspects of your conscious interface with the world. Chinese is subtle, and the early Daoists loved using layered meaning, and ‘double entendre’ terms about the nature of reality. If you can discern the patterns in the fabric, or the geometry, of the Universe, you are both connected with Dao (creation), and potentially able to choose your future wisely. This may be why Jing is used in the title of the Book of Change and Universal Transformation (Yi Jing). Jing also implies the underlying structural framework of reality, especially gravitational and magnetic fields, your Heart Torus, and also the structure and nature of the ‘fabric’ of Space-Time. In a similar way, the term Jing Mai 經脈 describes the network of arteries and veins that keep getting smaller and smaller until they reach all of your cells. Jing can be used to describe the network of creeks within a given landscape. This aspect is implied more strongly with the term Jing Luo 經絡, which is used to describe or indicate the tissue component of Acupuncture Meridians. Jing can also mean the strands in a cloth or blanket, that make up the warp and weft. The character for Jīng 經 can mean a classic book, scripture, or scholarly work. I have found that a short chat about a world-famous ancient text often adds a few dimensions to the larger meaning of the process and purpose of the Muscle/Tendon Transformation practice.Īs always, the Chinese Characters tell the whole story. I will come back to the muscle and tendon aspects shortly. Since then, the many generations of practitioners have evolved one of the most profound forms of physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation, through the restoration (tensegrity) of all of your muscles, membranes, and meridians. It is believed, by most scholars, that the modern Yi Jin Jing approach to embodied awareness and refinement began in earnest about 1500 years ago at the Shaolin Monastery. There is also the implication of feeling the bow-like elasticity of your tissues while also feeling into and releasing any bowstring-like lines of tension (Yin 引). There are a few ways to translate that term, but within the characters is an implied experience of interacting with sensation, thought, and emotion, while incrementally moving your limbs, joints, and spine (Dao 導). One of the first Chinese terms used to describe a conscious embodiment practice is Dao Yin 導引. It is like yawning strenuously with your muscles and membranes. This reflex is called Pandiculation, which is an animalistic form of stretching, toning, and regulating all of your connective tissues, while improving your reflexes, balance, and longevity. This is because this system of training and restoring your body begins by imitating an instinctual animal reflex. The Yi Jin Jing 易筋經 practice is, in my understanding, much older than writing. The Muscle and Tendon Transformation and Tensegrity Process.
