Written by Lak Loi, Founder of Martial Mind Power
Bruce Lee spoke about…
‘The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness;
Only when there is stillness in movement does the universal rhythm manifest.’
Guru Nanak an enlightened-being and known as the founder of Sikhism, taught the secrets to becoming still through a model he called ‘Jap’ (an ancient word written in Gurmukhi).
Jap is the process of recitation to achieve remembrance through:
- Loud physical body audible speech,
- Silent mental body thoughts and emotions, and
- Causal body resonance and dance.
This process could be compared to swimming and diving:
Thinking, as we know it, is like swimming on the surface of a lake.
But meditating with the aim of connecting to deeper levels of the being through repeated and continuous focus on a sacred sound, our breath, resonance or dance, and focussed visualisation, is like diving down into the cool and dark depth and requires ideally suspension or complete dis-identification from usual mental activity and a surrender to the cosmos.
Hazrat Inayat Khan, The Mysticism of Sound and Music stated…
“The word reaches as far as where is comes from.
What is received through the ears goes deeper into the soul than
what is received through any other way.”
Manifest your universal rhythm through discovering stillness in the…
- Movement of vibration of air (i.e. sound),
- Movement of the mind (i.e. thoughts, emotions and visualisation), or the
- Movement of the body (i.e. resonance, dance, and martial motion).
Enjoy discovering your inner depths, Lak
