The practitioner like any person stands between Heaven and Earth.
We are standing, head on top, legs beneath, feet on the ground.
Heaven means the space, the air, the expanse that is immaterial, that begins right above the Earth, in the spice right there all the way to the great beyond, sky, planets, the swirling darkness, the spacious blue.
And then the Earth is right here, the practitioner standing upon it. We could notice gravity, the feeling of the force that’s holding you here, relating to land and water.
The reality of form.
They are -we are- standing right here in between, within, separate but blending.
This is the context in which the practitioner does anything at all, consciously or unconsciously. This is where we are placed, human.
What makes the practitioner the practitioner?
Whatever instrument the practitioner takes up - a needle, a plant, a stone, a movement, a song - they’re here in this.
Attention is placed and qi follows.
