August 18, 2015 047 - We have the Power of Life and Death. How are we using it?
We have an amazing power, a key to happiness and suffering, even life and death. We can talk ourselves into or out of practically any disease. Good news - it is totally up to us. Bad news - it is totally up to us.

August 17, 2015 046 - Is Qigong real or are we just fooling ourselves?
So, is Qigong real? Or is it just a form of a self hypnosis? I can easily feel my hands getting warm and heavy, you cannot argue with that. But is it real?

I get this question from people periodically.

August 14, 2015 045 - What is the Cause and what is the effect in the Causal Chain?
When I have to look at causality in my life, I am trying to dig to the deepest link I can identify and control. I cannot control much the time needed to get from point A to B, but in most of cases I can control at what time I leave point A. And if I can’t, then what’s the next link in the chain I can adjust?..

August 13, 2015 044 - Escaping vicious circle: How to avoid self-imposed torture?
...I began practicing meditation in 1982. My perception at that time was that meditator has to stay cool all the time, like un-emotional or un-disturbable, so to speak. And if I couldn’t keep my mind still, I was taking a guilt trip. In my mind, all my meditation training was useless. This would actually pull me down emotionally. A little bit, but still every time it happened it was affirming my own faults...

August 12, 2015 043 - Life and Zen of sailing: Learn to use your winds
People often sit and wait for the good wind that helps them to get from point A to point B in life.
"Oh, if I only had this or if I only had that.”

I’ve done this myself more times than I like to admit. But the truth of the matter is that it's irrelevant if circumstances are against us. It is not even that important if we are going through the storm. As long as you know how to sail you can use any wind to your advantage.

August 11, 2015 042 - Shifting the balance: The power of dissociation
There one weak link we may easy overlook. That is our friends. Especially childhood friends. Or even relatives. We know them, we trust them. We are so used to socializing with them, and we may not even realize that they can be the biggest source of harmful emotions. And since we trust them, we don’t set any guard to protect ourselves.

That’s right, my friend. If you step on the Path of Mindfulness, if you are trying to develop a positive mental attitude, if you set and try to pursue your goals, you may notice that your positive attitude is literally getting neutralized and overpowered by negative emotions from the people closest to you.

August 10, 2015 041 - Mindful Q&As: Why did I stop practicing Yoga? Or did I?
I started practicing Hatha Yoga in 1983, and had been teaching since 1986 until about 2008. The number one reason I stopped was time limitation. In 1980s and early 90s I could practice one hour of Yoga and four hours of martial arts every day. But I don’t have this luxury at this time. Since the foundation of my practice has always been martial arts, I chose to take that Path.

August 07, 2015 040 - Mindful Life Coaching with Jin: Master the mouth-gate to your life
We are so programmed by the society to say negative things that we don’t even think. And if we say them, then we program our brain to say and to hear that. As I said before, our brain does not care. If you say you are not doing good, guess what? You won’t. Brain will make you feel not so good even if you were doing great. Now you get a vicious circle.
The only way out is to start saying positive things even if it sounds weird first.

August 06, 2015 039 - Mindful Life Coaching with Jin: Master the ear-gate to your life
Our brain does not have moral judgment. It simply believes what it hears long enough. There’s an old saying I heard as a kid: “Tell a man 100 times he is a pig, and he will oink.”
So, what are we allowing to go into our ears? You might have heard the saying that our success is found right between our ears. And we are responsible for programming what is there. And if we don’t, then somebody else will do it for us.

August 05, 2015 038 - Mindful Life Coaching with Jin: Master the eye-gate to your life
Our life is a sum total of what we put into our brain. There’s so much junk around us: internet, TV, news, you name it. There’s something constantly in front of our eyes. What is it?

One of my coaches taught me to learn to control three gates to my life. Today we’ll talk about one of them: the eye gate.
