The Meditation Element
130 Day Guided Meditation and Wisdom programme
There are four general themes that this series of meditations will guide you through
Meditation for Transformation
Creating a New You
Living in Harmony
Master Principals
“No matter how much knowledge we seek, it is our ability to live in the moment, appreciating that our primary purpose in life is simply being, that enables us to maintain inner peace and joy, while living in harmony with the world around us.” Sifu. Mark Ringer
After a lifetime of studying and teaching philosophy and ideas in comparative religions, both ancient and modern, Sifu Mark Ringer has collated together the principle concepts that best enable a personal, emotional and spiritual transformation.
With an easy and friendly style, Sifu. Ringer has recorded the meditations and wisdom that until recently were only available to his Kung Fu students. Following the tradition of the ancient Kung Fu Masters, his teaching encompasses a philosophy of life that is supremely practical and easy to learn and apply, enabling you to master the art of living by understanding how to master yourself.
The Meditation & Wisdom elements consist of two videos every day.
A guided morning contemplation will encourage you to spend some time each day considering and understanding these, often life-changing, concepts. These morning contemplations present predominantly axiomatic ideas, that is truths that you perceive to be evident once you understand them, and therefore are easily assimilated into your individual philosophical approach to life.
The evening guided meditations will teach you how to easily meditate and will generally follow on from the morning’s thoughts and are designed to help you embed the wisdom you have considered and enable you to derive the most benefit from these teachings.
The Chi Kung Element
Over the course of the Kung Fu Living program, you will progress from a relatively simple, though no less effective, Chi Kung Brocade (called Brocade because traditional Chinese Brocade has 8 threads and the Chi Kung sets that you will learn all have 8 movements) through the Intermediate and somewhat more challenging brocade to 5 different sets that you will learn in Advanced, each associated with a different element.
