Circular movement and physical shapes aid in the development and smooth flow of Healing Energy. To create these shapes and movement patterns in our practice - we must use the mind and our ability of concentration - as we follow this process, we move through an experience that eventually leads one to what is termed - Present Moment Consciousness - which will then lead to the deeper experience of Emptiness or - ‘No-Mind’….
This process of bringing the Mind and Body into a Union is facilitated by the Inner Energy, which is much like a bridge or a funnel that enables the combination of "Soma' and 'Psyche' to take place.
This is a stage of learning movement patterns / shape of the posture and engaging in repetition of practice of the forms. At this stage after some time of repetition, the posture, form or movement becomes memorized and natural -- meaning you can do the movement or posture without any thought, concept or memory process -- it has become 'natural', 'effortless', and the body and form begins to lead the mind.
This is a stage of engaging in practice / movement / posture - when through repetition - it has become completely natural. You do a movement and it is like a meditation - your mind is centered and rests with the form. The movement / pose / actions lead the mind and the mind follows the movement / pose / action. A combination of the Mind and Form begin to take place.
