Send us a textWhat do starry nebula, Bruce Lee, and disgustingly cool science facts have in common? They are all products of the creative mind of author Teresa Robeson. In this episode, we welcome back Teresa Robeson, a busy author with a rich background in science and storytelling. Teresa unveils her upcoming books, including Clear and Bright: A Ching Ming Festival Story; Disgustology: The Science of Gross; and a graphic biography, Who Smashed Hollywood Barriers with Gung Fu?: Bruce Lee. Teresa shares insights into the art of storytelling through visuals and the collaborative process of bringing science and historical moments to life. Our discussion ventures into the mesmerizing realms of astronomy and science literature, with highlights from NASA's stunning imagery that fueled her recent book, Clouds in Space: Nebulae, Stardust, and Us. We also delve into the importance of diverse narratives, cultural acceptance, and the role of literature in building empathy. Plus there's a fun lightning fill in the break taken from listener questions (What language does Teresa speak to her chickens? What are the most disgusting facts she hasn't written about yet?) This episode celebrates diverse narratives, cultural tales, building our empathy muscles, and the transformative power of storytelling.Timestamps and Chapters:1:13- Bruce Lee and Clear and Bright 15:13: Smithsonian honors, Clouds in Space, and Quirky Science Storytelling in Disgustology20:13: Lightning Fill in the Blank26:03: Building Our Empathy Muscles Through Diverse Children's Literature32:37: Finding Hope in Empathy and Youth Links:Teresa Robeson's Website: https://www.teresarobeson.comTeresa's previous appearance on the Adventures in Learning podcastFollow Teresa Robeson on Instagram, LinkedIn, and BlueSkyConnect with Us:Follow us on Substack and Instagram for updates and behind-the-scenes content.Support the Podcast:If you enjoyed this episode, please consider leaving a review on your favorite podcast platform and sharing it with your friends.

In this episode I share the verbal instructions on Post Standing Qigong, a wonderful, healing, breathing exercise and meditation, I frequently practice and teach. I use these instructions to lead this exercise in class, and teach my students to perform at home. This exercise is perfect for total beginners. It is also a great place to begin if you are recovering from an injury or illness. Post Standing can also help if you are subject to the stress and tension so common in our modern world. Post Standing Qigong requires a minimum amount of space and no equipment. You can practice this Qigong as long as you wish. It is truly a simple and safe method that yields great results. Not quick results but slow drop by drop results that add up gradually to deep change. The instructions given in this podcast will help you to establish a good practice method. You can practice as long as you desire and you have enough strength. I encourage you to listen to my previous episodes about qigong particularly:Episode #10 "Protecting Your Qi" https://ancientwisdommodernhealth.com/episodes/10-secrets-to-protect-your-qiEpisode #8 "What is Qigong?" https://ancientwisdommodernhealth.com/episodes/8-what-is-qi-gong**New Classes Coming Soon!**San Rafael Community Center - New classes starting January 6th, 2020!

☳ How many have heard the saying, usually between a master and a disciple: In order for me (the master) to be able to fill your cup, you (the disciple) must first empty your cup. Or words to that effect? ☵ In the movies it is usually accompanied with the scene of the disciple holding his cup while the master keeps pouring and pouring until it overflows. The hot liquid scalds the disciple and suddenly the disciple has an awakening. ☶ Training gets easier for both master and disciple. We see the glorious highlights and the rest is a foregone conclusion. The disciple wins the fight and we wait for the sequel. ☰ If this has ever happened to you, please remember to quietly congratulate yourselves: The deeper meanings behind tea 茶 and Gung Fu 功夫 can be quite profound. Every cup of tea 茶 can be a realisation in itself. ☷ Reality, though, is more like a teacup 茶碗 that never fills up. It is always being on-and-off filled. And more often than not, the cup is closer to empty than full. It is akin to feeling rundown by the external forces that govern our lives rather than anything to do with our martial art way of life. ☱ Hence the "Me Time" of Tea Time equals Me Time. Call it an excuse to take a tiny daily break from the usual. It is literally just a cup of tea, that on one level just fills the body with tea. Then again, it could be a whole lot more. ☲ And to think, what I write is from a teacup 茶碗 that I am just about able to keep regularly half full. Whether it be business, personal life or other stuff. ☴ Which does not mean much because for those you advanced in Reiki 霊気 and Qigong 氣功 et cetera, you will know that as a person's chi 氣 grows, the metaphysical vessel that holds it also expands.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of Bruce Lee’s cards he wrote to his friend and first assistant instructor Taky Kimura. In these cards to Taky, Bruce lays out these principles on how to be a Gung Fu man and how to own and operate a school in the best way without Bruce being there himself. In Part 1 we talked about self-cultivation, no-mind, no-thought, and following nature. Listen to #123 A Gung Fu Man: Part 1 at brucelee.com/podcast.

In this episode we discuss some cards that Bruce Lee sent in 1964 to his best friend Taky Kimura. Taky was Bruce’s best friend, he was the best man in Bruce and Linda’s wedding, and Taky was Bruce’s first assistant instructor in Bruce Lee’s first school in Seattle at the Jun Fan Gung Fu Institute. In 1964, Bruce Lee left Seattle and moved to Oakland to open a second school with James Lee. When Bruce moved he wrote these cards and gave them to Taky, who was now going to run the school in Seattle, as a way to prepare Taky to step into the role of teacher and to be a Gung Fu Man. An excerpt from the cards: “Self-Cultivation The point where to rest being known, the object of pursuit is then determined; and, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained too. To that calmness there will succeed a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation, and that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end.” Read Part 1 of the Taky Kimura letter at Brucelee.com/podcast Check out our Podcast Bundle on the Bruce Lee Store! Follow us @Brucelee & write us at hello@brucelee.com

Taky Kimura once wrote Bruce Lee a letter saying that the students at Bruce’s Gung Fu studio were asking for more techniques. Bruce wrote back that they didn’t need “more” but to go deeper into the practice and expand the students’ imagination: “First and foremost I would like to impress a most important rule of teaching in your mind and that is the economy of form. Follow this rule and you will never feel like you have to add more and more so-called sizzling techniques to keep your students interested.” “I hope I have impressed in your mind a most important rule of our style. Stick to the program I have given you, use variety, and do not worry too much that your student need more and more to stay with you. True only if they can do perfectly all that you’ve taught them. Remember, the idea that one has to come in thousands of times in order to perfect one judo throw. And of course, use your own experience and imagination, and you will do well. I have faith in you, Bruce.” Bruce was trying to communicate the difference between experience and imagination or another way he expressed this ideas was knowledge and knowing. “Knowledge is from a source, from an accumulation, from a conclusion, while knowing is a movement, is a constant movement. Therefore there’s no static state, no fixed point from which to act. Knowledge is binding but the movement of knowing is not binding.” When you’re stuck in a set pattern, this is where imagination comes in and asks: What if this is not true? Where can this lead instead? Imagination expands the experience to infinite possibilities. Imagination can feel really big or fantastical, but just by questioning something you are using your imagination and seeing something that wasn’t there before. “If you learn concepts, if you work for information, then you don’t understand, you only explain. When a man is thinking, he stands off from what he is trying to understand.” Go ahead and learn the knowledge—even master the knowledge, but also apply it to the real world, test it out and see how you can modify it to fit your own needs. Cut away all that is not essential until it fits you perfectly. Bruce Lee always customized ideas or practices to fit his own mind body and spirit. “Remember, I am no teacher. I can merely be a signpost for a traveler who is lost; it is up to you to decide on the direction. All I can offer is an experience, but never a conclusion. So even what I have said needs to be thoroughly examined by you.” Take Action: Test a formula or conclusion that you have. How can you customize it? Where are you finding yourself bored? Inquire as to why you’re bored. #AAHA (Awesome Asians and Hapas) This week our #AAHA is Inbee Park who is a South Korean professional golfer who plays on the LPGA Tour and the LPGA of Japan Tour.

I remember you both mentioning the importance of expressing yourself to the ones you love. Whether that be through writing a poem about that person or just generally breathing life into the feelings you have inside about them in some way. Well for me, I wrote a song about my long-time girlfriend of four years, LeCreshia. I released the song on my social music sites in honor of my true and genuine appreciation for her for sticking with me all these years.” Share your #AAHAs, #BruceLeeMoments, and #TakeAction progress with us at hello@brucelee.com Find the full version of our show notes at BruceLee.com/podcast

Gung fu translated means: discipline and training toward the mastery of some skill. It is applied to martial arts but it can be applied to anything. Ultimately, Gung fu is a pathway toward mastery and a deeper understanding of yourself and life. Yin Yang is the basic structure of Gung fu. This is expressed with the Law of Harmony: “One should be in harmony within and not rebellion against the strength and force of opposition.” “The law of harmony thus fits in with the law of non-interference with nature, which teaches a Gung fu man to forget himself and follow his opponent. He does not move ahead but responds. So the basic idea is to defeat the opponent by yielding to him and using his own strength against him.” “No-mindedness is not a blank mind that excludes emotions, nor is it simply a calm or quiet mind. It is the “non-graspiness” of the mind that constitutes the principle of no-mindedness. A Gung fu man employs his mind as a mirror, it grasps nothing, it refuses nothing, it receives but does not keep.” “Concentration in Gung fu does not have the usual sense of restricting the attention to a single sense object. It is simply a quiet awareness of whatever happens to be here and now. The mind is present everywhere because it is nowhere attached to any particular object and it can remain present because even when relating to this or that it does not cling to it.” If you have such artistry and mastery then in you are in the flow. The attainment of self-mastery or connectedness is grown through the daily practice of life. We can all be artists of our own lives, through our discipline, practice, and training at being a human being, you can gain freedom and transformation. “There are three stages in the cultivation of Gung fu: the primitive stage, the stage of art, and the stage of artlessness.” “Remember that man created method and method did not create man. You yourself are expressing the technique, you’re not doing or following the technique.” Gung fu is anything you practice with effort, discipline, harmony, and humility, towards mastery. “True mastery stems from mastery of oneself. The ability developed through self-discipline, to be calm, fully aware, and completely in tune with oneself and the surroundings. Then, and only then, can a person know himself.” Take Action: What is your Gung fu? What is it that you are actively working on mastering? It doesn’t have to be a physical skill, it’s a skill that is natural to you and should excite you and bring you joy. #AAHA (Awesome Asians and Hapas) This week our #AAHA is Korean-American filmmaker and actor Justin Chon. He just premiered his film “Gook” at Sundance. It’s a film about living through the LA riots in the 90’s and his family’s experience owning a market that was looted. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the riots and Justin wanted to create a film about the Korean American experience during that time. About half of all the damage caused by the LA riots were to Korean businesses. The police weren’t coming to help them so the shop owners had to defend the stores themselves. Justin raised money through Kickstarter, and actually raised double what he asked, which showed him that people really wanted this story told. We think it’s great that you’re creating your own projects, Justin--you’re awesome! #BruceLeeMoment This week’s #BruceLeeMoment excerpt comes from Matthew R.: “I suffer from PTSD, OCD, & Social Anxiety from the trauma of hearing of [my father’s] death and other traumas I experienced in my life. I have always been a fan of your dad and his outlook on life. I recently started listening to the podcast and love it. It is very therapeutic for me. A quote, and the story behind it, of his that has recently made a big impact on my life is, "When life gives you obstacles you must summon the courage and walk on!"

What does TC Mean? Why is it spelt in different ways? Why is it sometimes referred to as Tai Chi and others as TCC? And why, even after explaining all this do most people say afterwards, I'm no more clearer than before? Literally it means the "supreme ultimate fist". Clear? Of course not...as as, this doesn't help at all..... so we need to take a look at something other than the literal meaning. And this is a good lesson generally in TC. Don't get hung up on literal meanings, for you are probably living in a culturally, politically, geographically and socially different time than when the art was conceived. In short we need to move beyond definitions. The two words, “Tai” and “Chi” together, mean the unity of Yin and Yang, or in Taoist circles: the mother of the 10,000 things. See! I told you that literal meanings would get us nowhere! The "10,000 things" is just a name - - a name used to represent everything from the lunar winds to the clippings of your toenails. It was a description used a lot in early Taoist texts, and although it's not necessary that you grasp all the philosophy of Taoism to learn about Tai Chi, it is useful to know some of the concepts, such as Yin and Yang and Wu Wei. We will look at some of these in more depth later. But for now just try to remember that when these concepts are brought together, “Tai” and “Chi” they mean the ideas and not just the physical movements. So, when you add the third ingredient “chuan” to the first two, you get the complete name and the complete concept: T’ai Chi Chuan - The system of fighting based on the principles of the mother of all things. There, clear now? Okay, i hear you ask....so What's with the accents? Why is it sometimes written with accents after the T and the CH. ? Well I could answer: Pedantry. I could say...Who cares what the difference is, the important thing is what they are in themselves, not how they are written! And this would be a fair point of view. But, we do need to be aware of the arguments, even if we are then going to go ahead and pooh pooh them. Tai Chi is often written with an apostrophe between the T’ and the ai. Technically, this is the correct spelling - otherwise the pronunciation changes from a T sound to that of a D sound. Can you imagine calling it Dai Chi? However, popular use dictates we ignore the rule, much to the frustration of linguists, purists and fantatical forum activists on the net. You seee, Languages, one has to admit, adapt and change and in this case the simple spelling of Tai Chi - without apostrophe - to denote the practice is used as a standard. Even many teachers who claim to only use the apostrophe spelling end up using the simple version when it comes to selling a book or an article. As so often is the case, markets dictate, and individuals follow suit. Which brings us to the question of why its called TC sometimes and TCC other times. Well, the word ‘Chuan’ at the end of Tai Chi means fist and so the whole phrase ‘Tai Chi Chuan' technically refers to the practice of Tai Chi as a martial art. Therefore, some teachers have singled out the shorter phrase Tai Chi to mean the non-martial practice of Tai Chi Chuan. But not all subscribe to this view. Confused? you should be because a lot of the time I believe that is the intention. The more confused u are, the more readily you will swallow anyones theory no matter how absurd it sounds. Hmmm, i think im digging my own grave here.... Fortunately, we have the venerable discipline of Bean Curd Boxing to clarify matters. Bcb's use whatever rolls off the tongue better, whatever is quicker to type and whatever avoids the use of tricky accents. Having said all of this...you still may see TC written as Tai Ji Quan and may wonder - with some justification - if this is a distant relative First, Don't worry too much because it is still pronounced the same. What we are touching on here is the same problem practitioners of Chinese arts have had to deal with for decades...whether we are looking at Chi Gung or Qi Gong, Kung Fu or Gung Fu, and of course Tai Chi or Taiji. It all depends on which transliteration of the original Chinese you are reading. Some systems favour the Tai Chi Chuan approach (Wade-Giles) whilst others favour the Taijiquan version (Pinyin). Followers of each argue about the merits of one over another, to the absurd point of throwing threats and challenges about on forums to try and win the point. but perhaps we ought to remind themselves that the only correct version is that which is written in its original tongue. All other versions are simply translations. If u visit my blog you will see the words Tai Chi liberally scattered here and there without too much caution. This is because I do not really want to spend an inordinate amount of time arguing about the order of the letters, or the presence of an accent. (Something we have already spent far too much time on already) I'd rather focus on the concepts and ideas behind them. Strip away the unnecessary. As a lover of language I want to see things simplified, not confused. Ron hogans excellent rewording of the Tao te jing 48. Usually, we try to learn something new every day. But if we want to get right with Tao, we have to let go of something every day. We do less and less, until we end up doing nothing. And it's when we do nothing that we get the job done And that's where I want to finish today. Reminding ourselves that the objective of doing less, yet getting stuff done is a fine practice amongst bean curd boxers envy where. So, if after all that you still wish to engage in debate, then go ahead and choose your weapon ....With or without, plain or accented, old or new,...... just remember ..scratch the surface, remove the fine robes and you'll find we're all pretty much the same underneath.
