The Coherent Field Feel
Live not to reach the rare. Live so that the rare can reach you.
I am on a partial sabbatical until springtime
Dhanur Veda: Life, Pu erh tea, archery, sumo, … it is all the same.
First minute or so of the YouTube video makes the point: Yi Jin Jing: The 5 Second Trick to HEAL Your FASCIA Instantly

Structure, containment, permission: In life, deliberate creates stable field structure and stable field in motion gives containment. the physiology gives permission. Impulsive creates leaks.
Most of life’s richness is chased—money, max lifts, rare teas, expensive things. Yet the real art is quieter. Dhanurveda, archery of the Veda, teaches aim without bracing. Tea teaches steeping without forcing. Training teaches lifting without leaks. The coherent field isn’t something you build by tightening; it’s something you notice when you stop bracing long enough to feel it.
I learned that the descent is part of the ascent. The field leaks when the pelvis isn’t contained. The pot muddies when the pour is delayed. Ritual doesn’t dictate direction; it seasons recognition. Recognition seasons ritual. Practice shapes preference; preference shapes practice. It goes both ways.
Calm doesn’t mean relaxed. Calm means organized. The field carries the release when the geometry is held without bracing. Over months and years, repetition seasons both vessel and practitioner, until the rare can meet you—at the floor, in the cup, or in the marketplace—without effort.
Coherence can be found in a walk, a warm bath, a quiet cup, or a lift held still during transitions. The ritual is personal. The field is universal. The teacher is recognition. You don’t chase the rare. You season the field so the rare can come to you.
“Ritual sculpts taste; taste sculpts ritual.”
A nice YouTube link: “The Art of Fascia Tensegrity: Moving Beyond Muscle in Tai Chi and Life” (for me, first two minutes felt enough). The mesh bag… fascia.
I am not an internal arts master. I am recognizing doors. Perhaps that is the most teachable stage of all. Ultimately, it is not about doors. It is about the room. But then, the doors are forgotten.
Recognition leads to no leaks.
