Kelley GrahamStudent Training Journal. My response: "Exactly on point. Change is difficult. Changer that sticks, rare. Why? Without an explicit, clear, singular definition of success, deep and permanent change will not arise... Over time, with a more complete sensorium, the 'what' varies, the 'how' varies, but the 'success' is always, explicit, clear and singular... This is a little understood or accepted aspect of 'Empty Cup, Beginner's Mind..." #mindbody #meditation #martialart https://ucbprogram.com/node/2061
Caught Chasing Old Sensations | UCB Program
Context:Two weeks ago, after practicing Stick in San Ti Shi—cycling "Chamber-Step-Strike" with the cavities and anchor sacrum—I got a surprising release of the ribs of the lower back. I mentioned that after about three days, my back "locked up a bit" and was feeling stiff.After discussing this with Sifu, I went back to basics. I mostly worked on the foot couple and left the

3 Weeks of Standing, Beginners Mind, Empty Cup | UCB Program
around 3 weeks into standing, and this is totally different.Sifu explained Empty Cup Beginners Mind, as setting goals with this is impossible and that helped profoundly.for these 3 weeks I have struggled to release Perineum, but after that explanation, I didnt force, I just ever so gently kept the mind on releasing the area I thought should be released, with not much

'Light Yi' / 'Heavy Yi' Update | UCB Program
I am beginning to wonder if there ever is an arguable case for 'Heavy Yi'The more I become aware when I am using 'Heavy Yi', which is a lot more than I initially thought and spans a host of activities and not just training, the more I see it as a Cortisol 'spiker' which leads to background or low level lingering stress or unnecessary 'activation'.I am contiunually rewarded by

Non Interference Anecdote | UCB Program
This practical experience of Non-Interference came to mind just as I was finishing off my last blog post. Experiences such as this served me as ‘convincers’ that this method is preferable to letting my ‘big brain’ lead the development. It’s quite a superficial example, but for me, it was a real validation of Non-Interference versus the urge to try and 'fix' things.When
Another student training journal. My response "Relax vs Release: Well done. To perceive the difference between relax and release is an important step. The physical conditioning required of this work is deep and profound. Quite bitter, but the sweet is woth it. Appreciate the "More human than human..." Blade Runner reference." #mindbody #meditation #martialart #fitness
Master Cavity and Perineum, upper body micro adjustments while standing | UCB Program
After focusing on acknowledging the Master Cavity, I've been struggling to release the Perineum, and I'm surprised at how difficult it has been for me to find that area with my mind, but I think I finally made some progress in that area.I felt the ability to slightly relax that area, or "release", and I forget the structural changes it created, but I know that I felt a wave of
Another student training journal entry. My response "You have done the work and now you get some insight into the words I use and their new meaning. Using normal words but increasing the nuance and depth based on esoteric experiences is the goal. That's the mental development that helps move you along the path. Basics, basics, basics. Thanks for your post." #mindbody #meditation #martialart

Feeling Stuck, Light Yi, Non Interference. | UCB Program
Making a record of some of the changes I mentioned on Sunday.Leg Cavities Although have been able to experience continuous change over time with the method, there was one area where I've had difficulty properly getting my head around and that was ‘how to use the leg cavities’.

First week... | UCB Program
Pranam (Greetings) everyone. Since joining the program last Friday by the grace of Sifu, I looked around a bit through the cirriculum to kind of get the lay-of-the-land so to speak. It's incredible to hear (and read) Sifu explaining with precise terminology concepts that my previous Teacher(s) described rather vaguely if they even hinted at them at all. I went to the very
