1) What is the Law of Natural Balance ?
can enable mental and physical disease ( dis-ease ) to be eliminated.
As we progress as human beings to achieve natural balance, our lives become easier
and the ability to communicate with and understand others, becomes better.
Eventually,
this facilitates the passage to the gateway of happiness, which is the main purpose of human life.
This is the basic law of balance, the very principle of Nature itself.
Acupuncture and moxibustion can be said as natural gifts for self-healing for human-beings.
The fundamental principle is balance and communication with nature.
The basic principle of these arts is reviving the natural healing power given to us from birth.
The healing arts of acupunture and moxibustion work
by unblocking, reducing or adding to the energy flow in the body.
That is to say,
to make the energy flow achieve a natural balance.
It's almost the same as the flow of water supply system which needs equal pressure from each direction.
When there is unbalanced pressure in a system, stresses and strains are produced ( dis-ease )
which can sometimes leads to failure, or for example a burst pipe.
When the system is in balance there are no stresses or strains induced as there is equal pressure
and the system is said to be at rest or in balance.
Pressures are seen differently in the body of sick patients or invalids.
It's because the energy of some parts is too strong or too weak to function normally.
So making the energy flow evenly or equally in each part will be needed.
When the energy is in balance the pressure is removed and therefore no discomfort or effort is applied.
This is the law of natural balance or harmony.
2) What is Enlightenment?
We are told to be natural in everything we do.
Of course this is easier said than done.
The idea is not complicated but to have this self awareness
in everyday life is not simple.
Other than sickness due to injury, mostly when we fall ill,
it is either due to stress or bad diet.
When we are in balance, the body is able to cope and heal itself
even if we are under stress and badly nourished.
As we grow older however, often the body's ability to self heal seems to be diminished.
This can sometimes mean that by the time we are aware of the symptoms of a problem,
we are already in a serious condition.
Most often the onset of serious illnesses such as diabetes or high blood pressure,
have their roots in an unbalanced lifestyle and unwholesome thought patterns
that have been practised for many years.
We should learn to understand that our own existence in the world
is but just one grain of sand on the beach of life.
This is why we should try to follow the balanced law of nature.
It is for this reason that so many wise men and religious leaders
have repeatedly taught us to love and respect each other.
To follow the true law of Nature is based on having a loving attitude
not only to others but also to oneself.
The true meaning of love is not just limited to the romantic love between man and a woman, but the ability to feel no limits and to fully possess the life energy of the Universe.
The law of Nature is very simple,
even a young child is able to comprehend this.
To stay in balance with nature in the 'rat race' of modern living is not so easy to put into practise however.
This imbalance then leads to exhaustion and illness and even in some cases premature death.
Enlightenment can be said to having the awareness of things in one's daily life
that we didn't have before. Once you gain awareness of things in your daily life
that you were previously ignorant of, then this is the beginning of enlightenment.
“Enlighten” means to be balanced, to know oneself better and to be honest with oneself
ie. I'm not the best, I'm not the most clever, I'm not always right etc.
Being normal could be described as having self balance.
Enlightenment can be found in all our daily lives.
Once we stop unnatural behaviour and thought patterns,
we begin to feel comfortable and happy,
then the energy that we exude tends to
make others around us feel comfortable and happy too.
This can also be explained as the principle of natural balance.
Another thing we should contemplate on is self-respect or caring for ourselves,which will be covered more in a later article.
a. The Natural Law
The conditions of Nature are all around us. All things follow this natural law, it keeps everything in balance and maintains equilibrium. If we do not act naturally in our thinking and behavior, hardship and discomfort will result not only in our individual life but also in our interactions with the rest of society. It is logical then, that following the law of nature is desirable both in our personal lives and also in our Martial Arts practice.
-. No reduction allowed in the nature : Cause and Effect (karma)- 자연은 에누리가 없다.
Nothing can escape the natural law. Everything we think and do will eventually come back to us in some form, like a boomerang.
Therefore !!
We only get back what we give out.
Only good conduct will create good award, an evil deed will be followed with a punishment. This is the law of nature teaching us to grow spiritually.
I would say a miracle cannot exist. It can be said that nothing comes for free in life and yet with the correct understanding of nature and great personal effort, anything is truly possible.
As is said, everything happens for a reason and nothing in life is coincidence.
We see so often around us, those who wish to trust chance, this lack of understanding will only serve to cause disappointment and block their future. Sometimes we can hear worrying and complaining, “why can't I achieve the things I wish for in life ?, why did this awful thing happen to me ?”
We are the controllers of our own destiny.
Reckless expectation by some possibility or the way of thinking for particularism, the accidental like a miracle cannot be exist. It can be said as the mean of “There is no gratis in the world” and “All things is happening around us in the world is the acme of perfection.
So whatever we do, it means that we should collect our mind with refraining from rash act and having a feeling of awe. We in the nature can get something as much as we can, we can enjoy and will be blessed as much as we do in our life.
It is also one of principles which it is for all things which is achieved by making use of people by the lie or browbeating to eventually attributed to my fault
b. No Free Ride in Life
Living a life of ease never creates health and happiness. We are here in this life to grow and evolve on many levels, progress never comes from lazyness.
Tomorrow may be important, the past may also have been important, but the most important time is here and now. We should feel and recognize with our bodies and minds, the realities of present life and the truth that is so very crucial.
Don't waste time dwelling on the past or the future, how can we enjoy and be aware of the present moment otherwise ?. When working, do it eagerly and gladly, also always do our utmost for our friends and family and those in genuine need around us. We are all but human, therefore to attain this level of perfect behaviour and thought comes from effort and self discipline.
3) Conclusion : 결언
We can have negative thoughts and ill health if we do not continually move forwards. We need to strive to progress as far as we can until we draw our last breath. I feel confident it is possible for us to lead our lives with the utmost happiness to the end. Whatever our role in life, if we could just continue to do it with a benign attitude and a faithful mind, endeavouring with a passion based on unconditional love, then all will be well.
Once the law of nature has been followed and every thought, word and deed is in harmony, not only will we be in good health and vitality but also that energy will be transmitted to all other living and inanimate things around us, resulting in personal fulfillment and happiness not just to ourselves, but everything in the world.
All goes well is made into the things doing naturally. It means that the mental and physical maintenance with the harmony of each organs into my body, the integrity of mutual understanding with the harmony around me in social community, which zeroing all things including both at the above mentioned will make the flow of energy be natural and make be a sincere mutual understandings & relations in our society.
It is very important key to have to do our best whatever we do into the passions and Love (care, practice).
The quality in life for our happiness will be able to be paid off by making an great efforts and passions through many years and finally, one will be able to reach to the human beings happiness, which is the main purpose in life.
