Our true home is in the present moment. To live in the present moment is a miracle. The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green Earth in the present moment…It is not a matter of faith; it is matter of practice. —Thich Nhat Hanh
Embracing each moment with an “Ah HAH!” is one of my favorite taiji/qigong practices. In fact, (to quote my own book) “when there is so much going on that you feel like you don’t know which end is up, or there is so much “brain mutter” in your mind, you forget even to breathe, you’re not operating at your full capacity… When you are truly present, embracing this moment, you can stay calm and centered, relaxed and energized, regardless of what is happening around and within you.”
When you embrace this way of being, I think it becomes undeniable that “linear time” is actually an illusion. I’m not talking about an abstract philosophical construct here. In fact, I’m sure you’ve experienced it yourself.
Philosopher, dancer, performing artist, and internationally acclaimed taijiquan master, Chungliang Al Huang’s practice of “Ah Hah” radiates in a way that is positively contagious.
