Energy is Important

So very important. I have been training hard for the last couple of months and I'm finally coming to the "Great Wall" the point we all hit when we start to ask ourselves "just what the hell am I doing?"
My life is crashing around me which is not bad because it's a humbling experience reminding myself just exactly who or what I look like and what that energy brings from the world around. I am reminded of the Bible passage cautioning us to be aware of the log in our own eye before we start picking splinters out of someone else's eyes. So this crashing was like getting the wind knocked out of me -- I really found it hard to muster the energy to even eat lunch today. My family came to the center again and I gave them a class. It was a relief my brother and father are in need of this practice so I modified the exercises to be lighter on them as beginners. For me it was a perfect relaxation and opening, allowing fresh ChunJi Ki Un energy to fill my body and refresh my state of mind.
Just after lunch I checked my email and found a note from Ilchi Lee reminding us about self reflection and the value of not getting entangled in emotions while evaluating ourselves. His words hit home with a soft caressing punch. I revisited the note after my family left and found the words totally empowering.
By refreshing and moving out stagnant energy I am able clearly relate to the message of self watching with an open mind and heart.
