We have discussed some aspects of this Yoga on our Youtube.

After a lifetime dedicated to spiritual practice, I’ve come to a profound realization: this body is an ancient vessel of wisdom. Before it returns to the earth, I want to share a secret with you, one that can transform your entire practice, whether it’s yoga, qigong, or meditation.

Look around you. The internet is full of teachers and videos showing perfect poses and precise movements. We are taught to copy, to imitate, and to follow external examples. But in ancient times, the masters had no one to copy. They had to turn inward. They had to tap into their own source to discover the movements, mudras, and chants that became the foundation of these profound practices.

My deepest invitation to you is this: don’t just do yoga; let yoga happen.

From Outside In to Inside Out

When you copy movements from an external source, you are practicing from the outside in. You are an observer, a student, and a follower. This has its place, but it is not the ultimate path. The true wisdom of yoga, qigong, and all spiritual movement lies in the source, and that source is within you.

The shift is simple but radical: instead of doing the movement, let the movement do you. Instead of forcing your body into a pose, listen to your body and let it express its own wisdom.

Think of it this way: are you shaking, or are you being shaken? The difference is everything. When you are shaken, your body moves from an innate, primordial intelligence. It’s not a performance but a release. This is the yoga of spontaneous movement.

The Wisdom of Your Own Body

Your body possesses its own innate healing system. This is seen in the most fundamental movements of life itself—the flexion and extension of limbs, the subtle rhythms of breath, and the natural, involuntary actions of the nervous system. These are what scientists sometimes refer to as extrapyramidal movements, but in this context, we can see them as the language of your inner being.

This approach connects directly to the principles found in practices like Butoh, the Japanese dance form known as “the dance of darkness.” Butoh dancers don’t perform a choreographed dance; they express the raw, spontaneous, and subconscious movements of the body. They let the body’s natural wisdom lead, allowing profound emotions and truths to surface.

By cultivating this inner listening, you are not inventing a new practice; you are simply rediscovering the one that has always been within you. You are following your body’s natural intelligence and its urge to move, heal, and find its own unique path toward balance and wholeness. The goal is to listen to the whispers of your body and let its ancient wisdom unfold. By studying the positions and gestures of the Gods and Demons in Tibetan Thanka’s you can start grasping how to flow into these movements!
