 We dedicated the Boot Sequence to all courageous people struggling for a better world, with a special dedication to Julian Assange of Wikileaks, whom, at the time of filming, was in his 2nd year of being physically immobilized inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, a situation effectively equivalent to detention without charges.

 +The I Ching or ancient chinese Book of Changes offers a reflection on good rest (body and mind) through [[http://www2.unipr.it/~deyoung/I_Ching_Wilhelm_Translation.html#52|hexagram 52]], Keeping still, or "The Mountain" (the trigram representing the mountain, which is still, is repeated): "The Book of Changes holds that rest is merely a state of polarity that always posits movement as its complement" and "True quiet means keeping still when the time has come to keep still, and going forward when the time has come to go forward. In this way rest and movement are in agreement with the demands of the time, and thus there is light in life."

 +Here is a generous selection of 19th century to mid 20th Chinese Martial Arts Manuals (notably Taiji Boxing manuals) all translated to english and made available by Paul Brennan on his site. Original chinese scriptures are still in the copy along with vintage photographies and images. Interesting for practice, the manuals are also windows on chinese metaphysics and the fundamentals of Traditional Chinese Medicine (which the “gymnastics” are part of), and on chinese (war) history…

 +
 +In this 30 minutes talk she gave at 30C3, physical therapist Sophie Hiltner explains basic anatomy of the musculo-skeletal systems, the physical structures that hold us together and enable our actions.
 +How is a little anatomy interesting ? Understanding the physiology and mechanics of the bones, muscles and connective tissues, leads to a better understanding of the constraints and stresses our postures exert on these systems everyday all day, and of the negative consequences these postures can have for the general well-being and health. Then with that basic understanding in mind, it because easier to avoid or revert the ill effects of poor posture and/or lack of movement...
