How Energy Works
and
The New Basic Tai Yi Class Announcement
by
Joseph Armeanio
As I prepare to start a new Tai Yi class, my focus has been to continue Hossca’s work, building upon his original intent.
Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing started in 1995. The first statement Hossca made, in his first class, effectively sums up his purpose as a teacher. It is important to understand how energy works so that you can learn to work with energy rather than against it.
Human consciousness and human experience are complex. Much of what is taught to the general public is oversimplified, has a mixed intent, and is blended with religious concepts. In my years of learning, I have witnessed Hossca pick apart the hidden conflicts many false notions carry and the issues they create.
I have often heard him state, if you were going to become an apprentice electrician, the first lesson you should learn is to respect electricity. If you do not respect the power of energy, energy will not respect you.
A simple example here is the universal force we call gravity. Most humans learn quite young to respect gravity and its power. As humans age occasionally they will use their body out of harmony with this force and quickly be reminded why they need to respect it. As with many aspects of energy in life, it is what it is.
You can’t sit and bargain with gravity. You can meditate and attempt to convince yourself it will not affect you. Perhaps you can convince yourself that some other energy will protect you from its effects. However, when one can understand how energy works, they can use their energy effectively to flow in harmony with their environment.
The beauty of gravity is that it is an instantaneous teacher. It is through this instant feedback that humans have come to respect gravity. When one falls, they do not blame gravity. Usually, they blame something or someone else in their environment, which is a different matter entirely.
It is easy to respect energy that provides instantaneous feedback such as gravity, electricity, and extreme heat. However, when the feedback is delayed, it is easy to forget to respect energy. How many people each year expose themselves to intense sunlight for an extended period, and then later feel the pain of not respecting the sun? This mechanism is easy to see and understand, yet easy to forget.
The cycles and function of life energy are what they are. The sun is not open to negotiation. One can learn to flow with energy avoiding a negative consequence. One can try to resist and get burned. In some cases one can use wisdom, harnessing other energies to counterbalance the situation. However, just as with products sold to protect the skin from the sun, there are many options available that are advertised as helpful but are toxic and create a secondary set of problems. Wisdom and understanding must be used.
Life Energy Flow Tai Yi School of Healing will cover many aspects and mechanisms of the human experience that are not well understood, that provide delayed feedback yet can have powerful consequences. The focus of the school is to teach students to understand cycles and patterns of energy.
Let’s use the example of thought. Thought has power, yet the feedback cycle of thought can have a very delayed reaction. A single thought can set in motion a chain of events, that minutes, hours, days or even years later can culminate into a painful experience. The human experience is a complex interconnected web of energy. As one begins to understand and respect the different aspects of energy that they encounter and create with, this knowledge offers the opportunity to use greater wisdom. However just as working with the energy of the sun that requires not only awareness but also voluntary choice, which is something each must take responsibility for within their own life.
It is our goal to build and emphasize the importance of understanding how energy works so that students can effectively use their energy in their life, and grow to assist other people.
The Basic Tai Yi Classes of 2019 will be held on
August 3, and 4, 2019
November 16, and 17, 2019
The new Basic Tai Yi class will be an open format. We will explore how energy works on a variety of levels, and focus on training individuals to begin to feel energy, and use energy properly so that one can develop their ability to practice Tai Yi.
These classes will consist of two aspects. The first is building a knowledge base in the philosophy and principles of Tai Yi. The primary focus in this part is understanding how energy works, and human consciousness.
The second aspect will consist of training for the practical application of Tai Yi, training to be an effective practitioner. This will consist of hands-on demonstrations and exercises.
Students will receive hands-on training by Joseph Armeanio and Jason Harrison.
If you desire to be a student in the new Basic Tai Yi classes starting in August, please email Joseph Armeanio at taiyipoh@aol.com or Hossca at Hossca@Jonahlifeinstitute.com.
All classes will be held at the Universal Education Foundation Healing Center in
Woodland Park, Colorado.
The cost of each class weekend is $200
The weekend class will be from 10:00 AM- 4:00 PM Saturday and Sunday
with a lunch break
