-===== What =====+//In your position, I’d take a deep book, a backpack of food and a tent and go walking for three months along the.au or .nz coast. You need to recalibrate your emotions through recalibrating your body. Emotions are body states. The mind can not be strong without strength in its relation to the body. ‘Whatever’ is then quickly answered; wake with the sun, take the next step, eat the next bite and behold people and chairs become a delight. It’s hard for you to see this now, since future visions are colored with present emotional responses. But these emotional responses are just another part of your flesh, built from the integration of your neurons and body. It’s material, stuff, like muscle, constructed from last weeks potatoes and environmental stimulus. You can strengthen your will through overcoming physical hardship//

-It is designed to wake up, warm up, unlock, strectch, strengthen, and so is recommended in the morning, before physical activity (including long hours of computer work), or as an interlude, to restore some flow in the body after prolonged stillness. The movements are soft, so they should be suited for most, and they will be efficient with regular practise, however light they seem. Note that there can still be contra-indications or precautions to observe if you are ill or injured (in that case, please be extra careful and/or seek medical advice).+It is designed to wake up, warm up, unlock, stretch, strengthen, and so is recommended in the morning, before physical activity (including long hours of computer work), or as an interlude, to restore some flow in the body after prolonged stillness.

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

-==== Rest according to the I Ching ==== 
  
-{{:i_ching_52_ken.jpg?nolink&100|}} 
  
-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."+
