Zen Echoes

Interviews from Shi Heng Yi

From start of channel to 2025-03-15

you have a mind and a body, but how can I show you my mind?

the body represents the form,

the mind represents the formless

breath exercises as a bridge of body and mind

using the body to strengthen the mind

when standing still for too long, the mind gives up before the body fails

every successful person has a list failures that lead to their success

fear restricts the mind from growing

facing pain is a part of studying martial arts

when your body is healthy you have thousands of problems.

when you are sick you have only one problem.

hearing people laugh at you or seeing a smile but it does not feel real

heart and mind do not feel the sameon something = universe does not know what to do

awareness of the body and its signals

sending a clear intent to a goal, and testing how the body and heart respond to the idea

"its not enough" the feeling of fullness from buying goods, but the purchase is only fulfilling for the one day.

Society promoting the eternal desire for more of everything

people focussed on success, but nature is about a balance, and constant exchange of two states.

if every day is the same then you are not acting toward your purpose

inner child - bringing the joy and lightness

why is it necessary to bring the lightness back? because life is too heavy

life becomes heavy with posession, stress, lack of purpose, etc

when asking what you would do in the world, what is the world missing? that is your next purpose

the mind manifests and the body implements

external things do not leave you feeling full in the long term

happiness from circumstances and activity are a dependence because they are not always available

you cannot base your life on circumstances which you have no influence

What reason do you have to not like your life? what would change if you had what you wanted?

you are always in the present but the realization is missing

it is better to have than to need

breath work, difference of spacing

and time in breaths

the abundance is around you and outside;

this form of abundance doesnt make you full

you are probably the projection of ideas others have put in to you

waking up and being in peace, with any feelings of happiness being extras

Most fears are about the loss of something

the resistance against growing

the universe being complex means more can happen than can be imagined in a human mind

laziness can be seen as a habit that is not useful

identifying which habits are serving you and which have to be replaced

in the evening, be grateful for the day

TODO maybe load in to freeplane and reorgaize these in to headings
