Wow that was way more interesting than expected. I spent so long focusing on mental and spiritual well-being that I feel like I skipped the physical part for too long. The last couple of years have been spent focusing more on that and more recently balancing it all. Now I totally have to go look into Tai Chi. The purpose resonates as I've never fancied myself a violent person and I don't like the idea of doing harm, but there's still that "take no shit" aspect of myself I'm very aware of. I suppose one of the lessons the Tao Te Ching has yet to really instill in me is the idea of never carrying a weapon because we don't really need one when walking the path. Perhaps the path is saying "don't live in violent places where you may need them." Time will tell as it always does. Thanks for sharing!

Damn yes, physical is just as important as spiritual :) totally recommend Tai Chi, best way to both exercise and meditate, and totally fits non violent people like us! but it's cool that this specific martial art allows you also to "take no shit" but in that very smart way, that of "responding to hard with soft", right? :D Perfect fit! Also, I'm starting to get interested in Kung Fu as well, for the self-defense aspect, I'm not violent but I'd like to be able to defense myself if needed of course, I think we should be prepared for whatever just in case, especially in these times :)
Thanks to you for stopping by! I'm glad you liked the post :D
Hugs!
