Also I made a #Qigong playlist on #AppleMusic

It’s very heavy on the #TaiChi influence, but that’s okay because of the Dào

One thing I’ve been noticing as a side-effect of my “honouring emotions” #Qigong path, #BlackWolfQigong, is how emotionally empty my life has become; it’s no real surprise that my Xīn (心) would become so single-mindedly invested in Master Li’s #TuNaSiBa (吐纳四把), because none of my hobbies, like gaming or sci-fi, not to mention my open-source work and intellectual pursuits, offer any real lasting emotional nourishment—Star Trek is probably the closest thing to it, I suppose, and that just isn’t enough

Somehow my entire life has become wholly cerebral, which is pretty weird considering how deeply I feel my own feelings, and how empathically aware I am of others’ feelings; like, I really should have noticed this sooner

This has really only become the case over the course of the pandemic; I used to have my art and my music, pure creative pursuits, but I suppose as an extrovert, I must have come to over-rely on friendships and meaningful social interaction for emotional nourishment, and as I’ve come to embrace my inner-introvert throughout this extended isolation, I didn’t compensate correctly

Generative Art, which I have been doing, just doesn’t give the same emotional satisfaction as painting, illustration, or strumming away on the guitar

Taking the time to speak from the heart matters, even more so when all alone
