2012 유럽해동검도세미나 속에서- 자연의 이치(깨달음)

2012년도 유럽 해동검도 세미나 차 프랑스 몽플리에에서 머물면서

이 기간 중에 해동검도 수련과 더불어 강조하였던 부분들을 글로 적어 본다.

여기서도 역시 기운의 흐름을 알아서 깨우쳐야 된다는 것으로써 각 세미나에서 조금씩 다르게 표현만 했을 뿐 기본 내용은 똑 같은 것이다.  무술 수련을 통해서 몸 속 기운의 흐름을 알면서 그 흐름을 통해 우리 주변과 어우러진 전체 기운의 흐름을 잘 쫒아 갈 수가 있다면,  건강하고 즐겁게 잘 살 수 있다는 것을 이야기 하는 것이다.

결국 무술 수련의 맥락도,

결국에 가서는 궁극적으로 우리의 생활을 잘 할 수 있도록 이끌어 준다는 것을 여러가지 예를 들어서 표현방법만 다르게 할 뿐 같은 내용을 강조한 내용이다.

 

장소 : 프랑스 몽플리에

Place : Montpellier in France

기간 : 2012년 5월 3일 부터 12일까지

Date: From 3 to 12 May 2012

=========================================================================================

=========================================================================================

 

2)  깨달음

우리는 무슨 일을 할 때면 자연스럽게 하라고 한다. 모두들 다 잘 안다.

하지만 실제로 자신의 즉각적인 주변상황에 대처되는 내 자신이

그렇게 하지 못했다는 것을 나중에는 확실히 알기도 한다.

아는 것을 실천한다는 것은 참 어렵고도 참으로 쉬운 일일 수도 있다.

 

사람이 병이 낫다.

그 원인은 외부의 물리적 충격을 제외하고 크게 두 가지로 대별될 수 있다.

하나는 자기 마음과 성격에 따른 스트레스, 과도한 일 등에서 오는 것이고,

다른 하나는 무리 몸을 영위하기 위해 섭취되는 음식물에 의한 것이다.

 

아주 건강한 육체의 경우에는 비록 좀 힘든 일을 했다거나,

좀 과중한 스트레스를 받았다하더라도 이내 자기 스스로 회복할 수 있는 시스템이 작동되며,

설사 좀 맞지 않은 음식을 먹었다하더라도 자기 스스로 자동 시스템에 의해 되도록

빨리 정상화 시키도록 되어진다.

 

나이가 들수록 육체 자동 시스템들의 성능이 무력화되어감에 따라 민감해지기도,

둔감해 지기도 하는 여러 과정들을 경험하게 되는데, 어느 순간 감각적으로 알게 되고

표면적으로 나타나는 증상에 의해 판단될 때는 나쁜 정도가

상당히 악화되어 있는 경우를 흔히 보게 된다.

 

현대 의학으로 고칠 수 없는 당뇨병 고혈압 등의 병들은

이미 몸 안팎의 불필요한 행위와 습관, 자연스럽지 못한 생각과 마음 등에서부터

최소한 십 수년 전부터 시작되었다고 볼 수가 있다.

 

자연의 이치를 잘 따라야 함은 인간이 자연 속의 지극히 조그만 하나의

살아 움직이는 생명체로서 마땅히 따를 수 있어야 할 것이다.

그래서 많은 선인들이 그러했고,

많은 종교에서 “서로 사랑해라” 라고 한다.

 

자연의 이치를 따르는 데는 반드시 사랑이 기본이 되고 전제되어야 하기 때문이다.

사랑한다는 말은 상대를 위하고 나를 위하는 것이 되어

자연스럽게 소통이 된다는 말이다.

 

이 사랑의 의미는 남녀 관계의 단순한 사랑으로 그치는 것이 아니라,

이 우주 속에서 무한대로 소통되고 연결되는 의미를 가지며,

살아가고 있는 에너지를 극대로 느끼고 가질 수도 있다는 것을 이야기 하는 것이다.

 

그래서,

사랑을 하고,

최선을 다하고,

베풀어라.

라고 항상 가르침을 받는다.

 

이것이 바로 자연의 이치를 바로 보고

따라갈 수 있는 열쇠일 수도 있다.

자연의 이치는 아주 간단하며, 알기 쉽도록 만들어져 있으며,

많은 사람들이 이미 초등교육에서 다 배웠다고 할 수 있다.

단지 진실된 마음으로 실천의 삶을 다하지 않았을 뿐이다.

그래서 항상 자기 생활 속에서 힘들어 하고,

그래서 몸이 빨리 지치기도 하며,

불편해 하기도 하고,

병이 나기도 하고,

일찍 죽는다.

 

단지,

조금 더 알았던 사람이,

조금 더 깨달았다고 하는 사람이,

조금 더 자연에 근접했다고 할 수 있었던 사람이,

인간으로서 표현을 자기의 주관 속에서 그 설명을

좀 더 멋있게 좀 더 인간적인 마음으로

너무 자신의 지적수준에 맞추어 나타내었던 것이

지금에 와서 그 설명과 이치가 참으로 어려운 것 같이 된 경향이 있다.

 

깨달음을 얻으면 그것이 최고인 것으로,

그것이 전부인 것처럼 나타낸 경우가 많이 있다.

여기 제로화의 원리에서도 깨달음을 간단히 설명해 볼 수가 있다.


깨달음이란

“뭔가를 알아차렸다“라는 것으로 표현할 수도 있다.

다시 말해서 몰랐던 것을 어느 순간 또는 많은 자기 생활 속에서 문득 알게 되었다라는 것이다.

우리의 생활 속에서도 무언가를 알게 되었으면 이제 시작인 것이다.

“깨달았다” 라는 말은

“이제 정상이 되었다.”

“이제 주제파악을 조금 했다.” 라는 말이며.

“여태까지 내가 잘난 줄로만 알고, 내 생각이 맞다라고 생각했고,

내 행동이나 생각과 말에 모가 났던

내 자신을 이제서야 보았다”

라는 말로도 표현할 수 있다.

 

아프리카 원시부족이 어느 날 콜라병을 우연히 줍게 되어 신기하고 기이한 물건으로 신성시하여,

매일 절을 하다가 어느 날 이게 콜라병이라는 사실을 깨닫게 되었을 때,

그 사실을 앎으로써 자신의 사고와 행동은 정상화 되어 지는 것이다.

 

다시 말해서 정상화란 제로화 된다는 말이다.

그래서 깨우쳤다라는 말은

아무 것도 깨우친게 없다는 말이 맞는 것이다.

 

본인이 배운 우리 생활 속의 또 다른 표현으로,

깨우쳤다는 말은 주위 상황에 잘 녹아 들어가는 것이며,

주위에 동화되어 내 자신이 없어지는 것이다.

그래서 나도 편하고 행복하게 되고,

남도 행복하게 해 주는 것이

바로 깨닫는 것이며,

 

이것이 제로화의 원리로도 설명되어 질수도 있는 것이다.

 

그래서 가정생활이나 사회생활 속에

남에 대한 예의나 배려 없이 내 생각만 주장한다면

이는 나의 못난 사고방식이며,

 

내 주관에만 맞추어 상대를 꼬집고 헐뜯는다면,

이는 나의 못나고, 모난 행동일 수 있어,

 

언젠가는 후회와 원망이 따르기가 쉽고,

결국에는  몸과 마음이 불편해지고 아프게 되며,

자연의 조화 속의 순조로움과 순탄함에서 벗어나고,

제로화의 원리에 맞추어 지지않아 일이 깨어지기 쉽고,

어렵게 되기 십상이 되어버린다.

 

여기서 중요하게 짚고 넘어가야 할

또 다른 중요한 것이 “자기 사랑”이라는 것인데,

다음에 다시 이야기 해 보기로 한다.

 3) 결언 (Conclusion)

=========================================================================================

=========================================================================================

 

1) 제로화의 원리

 

“제로화의 원리” 라는 말은

모든 상황을 지극히 자연스러운 환경으로 돌려 놓게 되면,

우선 육체적으로 마음이 편안해지고 병의 원인이 없어지게 되며,

치료를 가능하게도 하며, 자기 주변의 일들이 불편함이 적게 되어,

일을 효율적으로도 할 수 있는 여건이 형성 될 수도 있으며,

자기와 자기 주변과의 소통이 원할해 짐으로써,

건강하고 즐겁게 모든 일들을 재미있게 할 수도 있게 되어,

결국에는 우리 생활 속에서 행복이 만들어 지게 되는 것이다.

이게  제로화의 원리이며, 자연의 이치이기도 하다.

 

우리 몸을 고치도록 자연에서 받은 소중한 선물 중에 침과 뜸을 들 수가 있는데,

이의 치료원리가 몸의 상태를 자연과의 소통 속에서 제로화 시키는 것이 전제로 되어 있다.

신체 각 부분 부분의 불편한 부분을 기운의 가감( +, – => 0 )로 막힘이 없이

기운을 흐르게 해야 하는데, 이를 제로화 시켜 정상화 되도록 한다는 이치이다.

이는 수돗물을 공급하는데 각 지역에서의 압이 똑같이 제로로서 일정치 않으면

물이 흘러가질 않는데서 나온 말로서 상수도의 원리와  같은 맥락이라고 배웠다.

 

몸이 불편하거나 환자의 경우, 몸의 각 부위의 압이 다르며, 막힌 곳에 따라,

기운의 흐름의 정체에 따라 각 부위의 압이 다르게 나타난다.

이는 기운이 한쪽으로 치우쳤거나, 어느 부위가 지극히 약해 져있거나,

강하게 되어 있을 때 나타나는 현상인데, 이를 잘 간파하여 각 부위의 조화를 맞추어

그 정도에 따른 강함과 약함을 동등하게 만들어 줄 수 있을 때,

다시 말해서  제로화 시킬 수 있을 때, 신체의 흐름이 정상적으로 움직이게 된다.

 

결국에는 본인의 의지와 노력의 지속적인 행위가(마음 씀씀이와 음식물섭취 등)

자기 스스로 몸의 자동작동에 의해 정상적으로 움직이게 되는데

더욱 도움을 주게 될 것이다.

 

이것이 자연 속의 조화를 전제로 하는 제로화의 원리이며,

우리 몸의 육체적인 것 뿐만 아니라,  우리가 살기 위해 행하고 있는 모든 것들에

이롭게 되도록 바탕이 되어 있는 이치 중의 하나를 인간적인 마음으로 표현한 것이

“제로화의 원리”이라고 감히 사용해 본다.

Haedong Kumdo Black Belt Test 해동검도 울산지부 입승단심사 2011.10.8

-. Subject  : Black Belt Test for junior
-. Date      :  October 10 , 2011  Sat. 10:00 am
-. Place    :  Haedong Kumdo Woolsan eunyangbonkwan
Organized by Woolsan city Haedong Kumdo Association.

사)세계해동검도연합회 울산지부에서
2011년 10월 입승단 심사를 아래와 같이 실시하였다.
– 아             래 –
1. 제목  : 해동검도 울산 지부 입승단 심사
2. 일시  : 2011년 10월 8일 토요일 오전 10시
3. 장소  : 해동검도 울산 언양본관
생각보다 많은 학부모님들도 참석하였고, 심사자들도 아주 진지하고 다소 긴장된 분위기로 진행되었다.
많은 관장 사범님들의 솔선수범 덕택에 좀 이른 시간에 마칠 수 있었으며, 이번 심사대회에서는
울산옥현도장 안병욱관장님의 심사평 이 후,  해동검도 수련생들을 위한 잠깐동안 격려의 말이 있었는데,
해동검도를 통해 몸과 마음을 튼튼히 하고, 자신들의 사고방식을 바꾸고, 창의력을 개발하고,
인간의 무한한 잠재력을 키워, 비록 지병으로 인해 단명은 했지만 스티브 잡스와 같은 사람들이
우리 대한민국에서도 많이 나와야 한다는 아래의 내용이었슴.
http://cafe.daum.net/uwhkf/DvEa/519 – 행사 사진 및 설명 참조
– 아       래 –

내용의 주제는 “의식을 바꾸라”는 것이었다.
영어권 나라에서 보편적으로 사용하는 말로는  “Think out of Box”가 있는데, 이것과
우리 민중 속에 심어놓은 옛 선조들의 지혜를 엿볼수 있는
“심뽀를 고쳐라”는 말을 인용 비교하면서 시작하였다.

식을 바꾸라는 말은
생각을 바꾸라, 고정관념을 버려라, 혹은
의식적,무의식속의 습관화된 생활과 사고방식 모든 부분에서 바꾸라는 말이며,
마음을 비워라, 마음을 내려놓아라, 마음을 버려라, 등등의 말들과 일맥상통한 부분들이 있는 것이다.

하나같이 말로 하기는 너무 쉬운 것들이고 누구라도 다아는 이야기들이다.
하지만 실제 부딪쳐보면 쉬운 것은 하나도 없다.
내 스스로는 한평생 노력은 한다하더라도 참으로 만만치않은 것들이다.
그러기에 한평생 수도를 해도 바라는 바 얻지 못하는 많은 사람들이 있는 것이다.

서양에서는 박스라는 형상화된 물건을 통해 생각을 바꾸라, 고정관념을 바꾸라고 비유를 해서 가르치고 있지만
우리는 심뽀(심포경) 라는 눈에 보이지 않은 몸의 기능을 조정관장하는 부분을 가지고 옛 선조들이
우리들 마음 속에 깊이  심어준, 반드시 되새겨 들어야만 하는 글귀이기도 하다.

“심뽀를 고쳐라”에서
심뽀(심포경- 심장을 싸고 몸의 기능 관장)을 편안하게 하면
이의 기능이 원할하게 될 것이고, 심신이 건강해 지고,
더 나아가서는 자신의 창의력과 잠재력도 키울수 있을 것이고,

내 생각을 바꾸고, 내 마음을 바꾸면서 상대를 배려하게도 되니
자연적으로 상대가 편안함을 느끼고,나에 대한 믿음과 신뢰를 가지게 된다.
상대가 나를 보면 편안해 하고 즐거워하니
나도 편안해지고 즐겁게 된다.

결국
자신의 기운이 다르게 변화되고 발전되어
남과의  교류가 자연적으로 소통되어져
몸과 마음이 조화를 이루어,

나도 좋고 남도 좋아지게 되어
우리 인생의 궁극적 목표이자 목적인
행복으로 이르게 된다는 말이다.

어려운 시기 일수록 자주 자신을 되돌아 보는 시간을 가지고
앞으로 자신들의 내일을 위해
열심히 최선을 다하길 바라며,
하고자하는 일들이 잘 되길 빌어 봅니다. -이하생략-

The Second Seminar in Greece for Spiritual Growth through Haedong Kumdo Training
Place : Athens in Greece
Date  : 29th April 2011
At the 1 EU Haedong Kumdo Championship
Organized by Christoforos Christodoulou, Rep of Greek Haedong Kumdo Association
English translation assisted by Paul Henson , Rep of Norweign HK Association

Contents

-. Introduction      -. Main Parts            1) Health             2) Happiness             3) Pleasure     -. Practice
Spiritual Experience : Feel the Nature
===========================================================
-. Introduction
Through continuously practicing Haedong Kumdo, one may feel the flow of the energy.
By making it stronger through the training, it increases ones power in the art and also promotes health, thus enhancing the quality of life.
Through practicing martial arts, one accumulates love from physical and mental health, recognising the order of nature, and then attaining a level of enlightenment, which is humanity, thereby enhancing one’s own quality of living, eventually reaching the ultimate truth, leading to a happiness, consideration for others and enjoyment one’s own life.

Therefore, it’s essential to enforce the basics of the practice, which builds physical and mental growth.
This can also be said :
The purpose of training or of human life, is to attain happiness based on infinite love through passion, earnestness and purity in one’s daily life.
One may get physical and mental trainings at a martial arts center, religious temples, meditation centers, etc.
To get the practical effects from meditation, the basic things like what to eat, what we think, what we do for good health should be considered first.
Once recognised this makes the meditation more effective.
Meditation is form of prayer, a way of approach to the true Nature.
Meditation without the recognition mentioned earlier just seems to give one temporary relief, but it never goes beyond this, however devoted the practice. One should be careful not to deviate toward the wrong direction.
On seeking spiritual growth through the mental and physical training, one cannot always recognise and choose which one would be good for one’s own body even when selecting the best daily food , however if one pours one’s heart and soul into spiritual growth and the mental and physical training, one can begin to understand the correct way to maintain health by eating the correct foods.
These days many religious leaders in churches, convents or temples are often reported to die of serious diseases.
It proves how hard to keeping one’s own health can be even to those who rank high in religious societies.
Thus it is the task for all of us to seek the personal solution.
-. Main Parts
1) Health
Self-management and time allotment for healthy living is needed.
The first thing is to avoid sickness.
It can be said that improper food and bad or weak character are the causes of all the illnesses.
Food is said to be medicine :
Correct food choice and good excretion function guarantee good health at all times.
The human body is just like an automobile which requires lubricating oil for smooth and continued running.
It can be acquired through learning and practice.
One’s character may be the secret of one’s own health.
When one get angry, thereby creating poisonous thoughts, it is only logical and true that this bad energy will damage our minds and bodies.
Greed hinders the activation of the intestines internally, blocking the ability to build relationships with others.
In the same way, all negative thought patterns will only serve to create social barriers thereby causing all manner of problems and difficulties in our daily lives.
The principles sound easy, but it’s not easy to recognise the basics and the right process, that’s why most people try to continue practicing for the entire period of one’s life.
When the basics have been recognised, such as ceasing silly complaining about trivial problems and learning go to quiet places like the mountains and such like for meditation practice, we can achieve the ultimate goal of contentment and quality of life.
2) Happiness
To feel happy, put your body and mind at ease, and then make your family members and acquaintances around you feel comfortable.
A healthy and peaceful life with yourself and your loved ones, lies in sound thinking, words, and actions.
After maintaining one’s own health, one then may afford to consider others or do others favors.
When one practices toward the right direction, then everyone around the one also feels at ease.
So with sound thinking, one can keep good health and make everyone happy.
Keeping good health is the most basic and emphatic point in all the bibles and religious books and human rights groups.
3) Pleasure
We often say “Try to enjoy doing something.” When you enjoy doing something, then it is also beneficial, for example , enjoying yourself when traveling.
Enjoyment with others is much more important.
With all the intestines in our bodies well-balanced, health is guaranteed.
Likewise, peace and happiness derive from peace and harmony with one another.
Without finding harmony in nature, there will be no sense of peace and also dis-ease.
With the proper conditions, one may really enjoy and achieve enjoyment with others.
This fits into the order of the Nature.
Acting right by the order of the Nature then results in balance and peace.
After one enjoys oneself, one needs to achieve the ability to enjoy with others.
This ability derives mainly from tolerance.
Therefore, all the things that I do directly return to me, so in a way they are just for myself.
In the East many refer to this ’cause and effect’ as Karma.
-. Pracice
Feeling the Energy of the Nature
Lots of body movements are applied in Yoga, Mental Training Camps or similar activities.
Only if you know the correct principle and a flow of energy in ones motion may you be able to apply it
and therefore make the various movements creative and enjoyable.
———————————————————————————–
Making an experience with just one movement of Haedong Ki Kong
————————————————————————————
Fill the body with the energy first.
Try different techniques for those who don’t feel it well.
Some feel it, but some may not.
After persistence and correct training finally nearly all will feel something.
The light is there for all of us from the very beginning, but most cannot see it.
Each one of us can feel and experience depending on their levels of mind and life.

With different minds and levels, different feelings will be recognised.
Relax, Feel the Energy
Relax and try to feel the flow of the energy is the first step.
Next step is to focus and see it with closing their eyes.
They are asked about what they have felt or experienced.
Some only feel it, but are not able to see it.
Some glimpse it; see the colors, but may recoil back from the power of the unseen energy.
Some see things like apples and tomatoes etc. when closing their eyes.
Through experiences like that, now practice has just begun.
Those experiences are in fact good, but aren’t considered to be special.

 

Some glimpse silhouettes,
Some glimpse the color of lights
Some glimpse moving things
But these phenomena rarely help enhance one’s capability, so don’t waste time by being indulgent with self-complacency.
Just leave them.
These may be temporary happenings in one’s own precious memory.
The key is self-enlightenment of how to build love for the better life through practicing Haedong Kumdo as a trainee of HK.
“Love” is the subject to be discussed in the next seminar.

PART-3 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE

2011년 프랑스 해동검도 세미나 후기

Feedback of French Haedong Kumdo Seminar in 2011 in Paris, Lyon, Montpelliar, Axi,

by French Haedong Kumdo Association from 25th March to 5th April 2011.

PART-3 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE

By practicing Haedong Kumdo in the Martial Arts, we may perceive the flow of the energy of the Universe and thereby try to seek and see it with one’s genuine belief.
By being aware of the basic principle of the body, practicing it, recognizing one’s true self, and expressing oneself with constant mind, it can be a very creation towards an unlimited ability.
This is the reason why I could devised Haedong Ssangkum Ryu (Double sword system)
into the Haedong Kumdo through the principle as mentioned above. By making use of it, it can be taught with ease through coming to understand and recognize the flow of energy well.
Even it can be cured as well as the energy which can be created and brought forth the infinite into the infinitesimal, myself in the universe is put in motion.
The skill from two swords system, I created for promoting their sword abilities and also for their enjoyment of training, I give it for the promotion in HK skills to be taught well and be learned with ease and fun.
When you think and act with shallow and calculated mind, or with unfounded knowledge imitating others, then it only leads you into a dead end street, or even more complicated situations and thus ends in vain. Hopefully if you are aware of a vicious circle in life like this ; it’s the simple principle of the Nature.
When we can create and bring out in public a certain best one with great maginations and passions of human being through all one’s life, it could be a very special one in life.
But If we could come to understand and recognize the truth which it was not the first time as well as if we could come to realize that, in some moment, it could not be a best one for their life and those are not one’s only achievements, but also worthless in the end.
It sounds pitiful but we feel rather relieved, because it may awake people from the deep ignorance in this present life. .

PART-2 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE

Feedback of French Haedong Kumdo Seminar in 2011 in  Paris, Lyon, Montpelliar, Axi, France by French Haedong Kumdo Association from 25th March to 5th April 2011.
PART-2 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE
Training in the Martial Arts emphasises a sound mind, sound thinking, and sound behavior.
It is said that just keeping this simple principle is enough, because by following these few rules we can achieve the realisation of the true meaning of life or personal enlightenment.
Just by practicing what is right at every moment, the degree of Naekong (Inner Power) accumulates with each passing day, and may be seen by amount of Unconditional Love one is able to demonstrate, despite the hardships that we all have to face in life.
So when we just try to feel the flow of energy, try to know, see and keep & follow it, then the power of Nature affects to the present state of things by many kinds of figures around us as it changes and does over and over continuously, sometimes strongly or weakly, sometimes much or a little, long or short and so on according to the degree of Inner Power and the amount of Love as well.
What we perceive with continuously different objects , sometimes according to the individuals’ accumulated practice or love for Nature.
For instance, acupuncture has no fixed or cure-all points. It’s because acupuncture helps to circulate the energy of Nature ( Ki/Chi ) in a given moment with different ways.
Only human beings with sound mind and those who practice (serve or sacrifice) with sincerity for others, can heal others’ diseases.
By trying to see the flow of energy and recognise it, and finally come to know ourself, we can know others as well.
As we come to feel and see, recognising every phenomena around us, we can reach a level from which we can not only heal our own injuries but also those of others.
In martial arts practice, with self-recognition or realization of the principle of basic movement, others can be taught with an earnest and unselfish mind,
thus then they may also have some healing power and the ability of perceiving thers’ pains through having a constant and stable mind.
I am sure that it’s the same with martial art, that every action can be ultimately eval!uated by the amount of love, that is demonstated by the practitioners behaviour in daily life.
Unconditonal Love is easy to say, but in the modern world it takes great effort and self disipline in order to maintain this state of awareness in everyday life.
For this, we need long-time enduring practice with personal disipline for our whole lifetime.
We should recognize the truth as quickly as possible in our lives so that we can realise that we exist to learn about love and then practice it for a better life with happiness, and thereby increase the overall level of love on this ground, the so-called “an Earth”, which is actually a minute particle in the universe.

PART-1 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE

02/02/2012 By admin Leave a Comment

PART-1 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE

Feedback of French Haedong Kumdo Seminar in 2011 in Paris,Lyon,Montpelliar,Axi, France by French Haedong Kumdo Association from 25th March to 5th April 2011.
PART-1 The fundmental essence of Haedong kumdo and the principle of the Nature – LOVE
The fundmental essence of Haedong Kumdo is not just about a martial art, but also that of our lives, and more of the Universe.
It gives us the wisdom to do what we are doing in our daily lives more earnestly.
The main purpose of this article is to emphasize what we should learn and gain from Haedong kumdo, based on my own experience of training and healing cases: this view is quite different from that of traditional Haedong Kumdo
The healing process can be summarized as follows :
-. The adjustment of unbalanced body posture The unbalance of body from unhealthy habits in daily life, often cause several symptoms like chronic pains in back, shoulder or neck.
These postural imbalances are known to have a close relationship with internal and/or mental diseases.
Practicing Haedong Martial Arts can be said to have heal ing effect in recovering postural imbalance, and thus help patients who have suffered from those chronic diseases, to alleviate their pains.
-. therapy to relax fascia
Bones are generally said to take a role in keeping body posture, but fascia, or connective tissues including muscles, take a more important role.
When part of the fascia is transformed or deviates abnormally, the muscles around it get stiff and also the bones become stressed in an attempt to compensate for this.
When these abnormalities continue, they may cause several internal diseases (like asthma, diabetes, cancer, etc) and even mental diseases.
The basic principle of bioscience in this case is such: firstly, induce the movements in blood vessels by soft stimulus against the fascia.
And then restore once unbalanced parts.
-. Help to activate each organ by penetrating clogged blood vessel with one’s own energy.
-. Acupunctures will help each organ recover normal functions and balance
with the energy of Nature.
-. Moxibustion will remove bad energy and help revive the function of each organ
by circulating the energy of the Universe into the body.
-. A Natural Powder for cleaning organs in our body and
for making our body activate and energize.
-. God’s light, energy wavelength, love, energy, and power are called differently, but all have the same origins.
Consequently,
outer balance with the readjustment of the body posture and fascia is a relaxing therapy promoting communication with the energy of Nature and thus recovering the body from the internal imbalance of energy.
At this point holistic self healing becomes possible.
Finally, What I am trying to explain in the above regarding healing, is that wherever I go in the world, my own personal efforts are merely a conduit for the Universal life force or God energy.
I can say like this for sure, because the energy of the Nature(LOVE) will take care and manage, the overall effectiveness of the treatments and teachings, will vary according to the degree of the person’s cultivation & discipline etc.
Even though the stages to heal human pains can be inferred, modern medical science isn’t enough to explain how far the Nature works or affects in and out of our body.

‘Is all this really related to Haedong Kumdo?’

02/02/2012 By admin Leave a Comment

While searching the internet, I was really surprised to see just how many websites

there are relating to mental and spiritual training within the Martial Arts.

I have also had people who have read our website asking the question

– ‘is all this really related to Haedong Kumdo?’

 

In an effort to help clarify the situation, and to help everyone to understand,

I am going to try to explain things from my perspective.

If you still have questions, please, just ask.

 

As you already know, back in 2007 I introduced the subject of

Relax, And Feel The Energy, at the 2007 seminar held in Helsinki, Finland.

This concept, we used throughout our physical training in Haedong Kumdo,

and it marks the first stage in our progress.

 

At the first Spiritual Growth seminar, organised at the time of

the 2010 Scandinavian Haedong Kumdo Championships,

I introduced the second stage, Focus, And See It.  The third stage,

I intend to introduce at the 2011 European Haedong Kumdo

Championships in Greece, Realise, And Do It.

 

Through my own personal experience in Haedong Kumdo,

I have gained a greater awareness of many different things,

some related to training, some related to life itself.

It is because of this greater awareness that I approach Haedong Kumdo training,

and teaching with great pride and confidence.

My gains have been so great that I wish to share these experiences

with my students, so that they too can experience them.

 

As I travel around the world, people are always asking me,

‘what is the most important thing to practice?’, ‘what do we have to do?’,

‘how do we do it?’ etc.  I always try to answer these kinds of questions

according to the individual’s level of experience.

Now, I am developing documents such as this one and publishing them

on our website, to assist all of my students in their own growth and development.

 

Relax, And Feel The Energy,

as I said above is the first step.

This helps us to perform well in Haedong Kumdo training.

 

Everyone understands that we need to make our body stable and

strong so that we can use the sword well, and even become a good teacher.

Through this strength and stability,

we can become aware of the energy moving through our body.

This in turn helps us to develop our skills with the sword.

 

Even when we have achieved a high level of physical ability,

what is next for us?  What more can we learn, or realise

through continuous cutting practice?

 

To answer these questions, we need to examine ourselves, honestly

and make a deep study of these questions.

We can achieve so much, become so effective and

efficient in our movements if we can really try to understand

how to Feel The Energy flowing through ourselves.

 

The Second Stage of our progress, Focus, And See It.

Focusing on something is easy, but seeing what is hidden from our view

requires learning from a great teacher.  Sometimes, some people

can have fleeting moments of clarity, but equally so, for others,

they never get to achieve, even these fleeting moments

before they pass away.  This can be explained

because different people have different original energy.

 

For Example – Everyone, is familiar with the Meridians of the human body.

We all know that Ki Energy flows through these Meridians.

However, what we do not know is exactly how it flows.

If we knew this, by modern science we could cure

so many different ‘incurable’ illnesses, and strengthen our internal organs.

It is the lack of understanding Ki Energy Flow

that causes us to be unable to cure such diseases as Diabetes,

Hypertension, High Lipids (High Cholesterol), etc.

 

My personal opinion however is that the flow of Ki Energy cannot be

identified through modern science, at least at the moment.

That’s why it still has been doing research.

 

The current Meridian Theory is not correct in every case.

The energy on Meridian lines split frequently, and

so it is always disseminated throughout the body.

Therefore a fixed position for the needles is impossible,

these positions are changing all the time.

Treatment, using the general positioning of Hyeol (vital points)

can sometimes cure illness or make the patient feel more comfortable,

but not every time.  Just as the mind of the individual changes,

so too does the flow of Ki Energy.

Some people have asked me, ‘why do you carry the needles,

and why do you work on people who do not teach or

train in Haedong Kumdo?’

I don’t actually do acupuncture, like most people do.

 

As I continue to train in Haedong Kumdo, I have come to an understanding

of the flow of energy, through the teachings of Mother Nature.

This knowledge has come to me through the energy of Mother Nature,

and because of this I have come to an understanding of

how to harmonise the organs such as the stomach, liver, intestine, lung, heart, etc.

I know it will be harmonised between these organs through the energy of The Nature,

and the needles merely act as a conduit for this energy.

This is what takes away the pain and discomfort.

I could just as easily do this though laying on of my hands

or just simply with my mind.  You can come to a better understanding

of this by reading the work of a particular UK Gentleman

on a particular Haedong Kumdo website( http://cafe.daum.net/uwhkf/JvX3/1).

 

Haedong Kumdo these days is going beyond even what I had imagined,

especially in the EU Countries such as Finland and Sweden, Ireland and France, etc.

I am enjoying my training as it makes me feel good,

and keeps me fit and healthy, therefore, I want to share this with my students.

 

As with strengthen our mind and body through Haedong Kumdo,

we can all come to understand the essence of the flow of Energy

in The Nature, and all at once, we can see the truth of the Nature.

 

What are human beings, who are not even the size of dust

in the vastness of the cosmos?  What is mediation and what is praying?

What is so good, and equally, what is so bad about these kinds of things?

 

Only self study can reveal the answers to these questions,

and we can begin to see the truth from the falsehood, the real, and the empty,

just as it is said in several scriptures.

From this self study we can reveal endless wisdom.

However, we must conform to the law of The Nature.

We need to serve others, and act correctly in our lives.

We should not harm others and we should behave in a proper manner.

 

If we do not, I believe that any abilities gained

from the Nature will disappear immediately.

It will be taken just a quickly as it is given by the Nature.

 

Haedong!!

Brief Valuable comments for Spiritual Growth

Brief Valuable comments for Spiritual Growth in Korean

http://cafe.daum.net/uwhkf/JvX3/7 with some photos

좋은 이야기 (2010년 10월 10일, 금곡실내체육관 해동검도 심사 후)|

매 입승단 심사 시 마다 심사평을 통해 지관장님 사범님 각 수련생들에게

무언가를 전달하려고 합니다.

시간을 할애하면서 잘 경청한 것만도,

그냥 이해만 한 것도 다 감사할 따름이겠지만,

본인을 통해 수련을 하고 많은 경험을 하면서 세월은 자꾸 가고 있는데,

지금 현재까지  진정으로 무엇을 알고 있으며,

무엇을 어떻게 해야 앞으로 더 나은 환경을 만들어 잘 살 수 있을지,

답을 하루라도 빨리 찾는 사람이 임자입니다.

이번 심사에서 찍은 몇 장의 사진을  한번 자세히 보세요.

방울 방울 찍여진 크고 작은 동그라미 모습들을 보세요.

혹시 이쁘게 보이지 않나요.

 

어디를 가던 좋은 사람을 만나면

우선 기분이 좋아지고,

 

더 좋은 사람을 만날 수 있다면

피곤한 부분들이 회복됨을 느끼고,

 

더욱 더 좋은 사람이 만나지게 되면,

나는 더욱 홀가분하고 기운이 차려집니다.

 

한없이 좋은 사람을 만날 수 있다면,

당신의 불편하던 부분도

어느 순간 사라질 수도 있습니다.

 

지극히 평범한 자연의 원칙을 이야기 하고자 합니다.

이번 행사 후 몇몇 사람에게는 이야기 하였습니다.

 

항상 바른 생활을  왜 해야 되며.

현재의 나는 과거의 내 행적이 그렇게 만들었으며.

지금 현재나타나는 나의 모든 상태는

 

현재까지 내자신이 만들어 온  성적표라는 것을..

 

내가 지금 아프지 않다면

착실히 행동을 잘 했기에 그럴 것이고,

 

내가 지금 돈이 없다면

그 때 그렇게 했기에 그렇다는 사실,

 

내가 지금 잘 못살고 있다고 본다면

과거에 그렇게 만들어 왔기에….

 

자연은 용서가 없으며,

예외도 없고,

아주 냉엄합니다.

 

반면에

무한한 사랑과

무궁무진한 에너지가 있습니다.

 

2009세계대회 개회사에서 본인이 강조 했듯이

지구촌을 돌면서 만나는 사람들에게

자기의식을 깨우쳐 잘 살수 있도록

열심히 노력하겠다고 했습니다.

 

부디 염두에 두시고

잘 살 수 있는 긍정적인 생각을

항상 가지고,

자기 의식을 언제나  깨우치도록 노력하고,

자기우물에서 나올 수 있도록

노력 하실 수 있길

기원합니다.

 

수고하셔요

For Realization Through Haedong Kumdo Training

02/02/2012 By admin Leave a Comment

With absolute True, and Pure Love

▶  First Step : Relax, And Feel The Energy

▶ Second Step : Focus, And See It

▶ Third Step : Realize, And Do

 

At the first Haedong Kumdo Seminar in Finland, back in 2007, I told the participants there to ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’.

Some time later at the first Scandinavian Championships and Spiritual Growth Seminar in Helsinki,

I expanded on this and spoke on the subject of ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’, supplemented by ‘Focus, And See It’.

Now as the next Spiritual Growth Seminar in Greece is getting closer, I am preparing to expand the lectures yet again, from ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’, and ‘Focus, And See It’, to ‘Realise, And Do It’.

When we train in Haedong Kumdo, Relaxation is the key to success.

We must at all times remain flexible in our body and in our sword work so that we can create the angle, and appropriate power as necessitated by the situation at hand.

As we continue to train in this way, day by day, we begin to realised, over time, the benefits for our life which we receive through Haedong Kumdo training.

This is simply because the principles of Haedong Kumdo are in line with the principles of The Nature.

As an example, I sometimes need to remind trainees to Relax. Without Relaxation, they cannot hope to ‘Feel The Energy’.

Whatever we do, whether in the Dojang, at School or at Work, if we can relax in ourselves, and with ourselves, we can cleanse our body and our mind. In this cleansed state, we can broaden our view of the world and allow creativity to flow in our lives.

If we train in Haedong Kumdo over a long period of time and if we can remember to ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’, we can build the energy within our own bodies, and everything will become easier for us.

As I have already said, in Greece, in May 2011 I am going to emphasise the need to ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’. I truly hope that many people can come and join in at this event and that we can have a good time together, creating happy memories of training under the joint subjects of ‘Relax, And Feel The Energy’, ‘Focus, And See It’, and ‘Realise, And Do It’.

Take pride in your Haedong Kumdo practice as it is delivered to each of you with absolute True, and Pure Love, with the wish of great Happiness, and Enjoyment for you all in your lives.
