Talking about enlightenment. I have heard some things about it.

There are multiple stages to it. It involves physical energy cultivation practices. Masters often die once they achieve it. Often royalty or monks. It takes many lifetimes. Ultimately, choosing to end the cycle of rebirth.

These things don’t interest me because they are dictated by karma. A lot of texts are not originally meant for our understanding.

Good health is required for physical energy cultivation and fitness is required for good health. Conversely, energy cultivation practices are good for health.

Calmness might be seen as a state of mind but according to TCM calmness is a sign of good health and correct organ function. Not being calm is a sign of poor health and organ dysfunction. Calmness is needed for energy cultivation practices as it affects qi in various ways.

There are many kinds of meditation which do different things. I’ve only done two kinds of stillness meditation; one to build high quality qi, another to let go.

I hope that you recover quickly from COVID Anita. ❤️

Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
