"..in the pursuit of knowledge every day something is added. Less and less do you need to force things, until finally you arrive at non-action...""
Wu Wei
Wu Wei is the study of The Dao or the Supreme Unseen yet Felt Force that controls and regulates the whole Universe. Generally it involves the understanding of the Universal Force that surrounds us and learning how to attract it to generate the energy within our being. This force is referred to as the Chi force by the Chinese sages. The scientific view is that this force is actually the centrifugal and centripetal forces of the Universe that governs all the planets.
As force is an unseen energy, the aspirant must develop their sense of feelings in order to position themselves in the correct and precise posture that allows the forces to travel throughout their being. All the above practise must occur without performing any voluntary actions as the Dao will generate movements necessary in order to do anything that needs doing. The only action one is allowed to do is to breathe deeply without any stress.
The Master does nothing yet leaves nothing undone. The main secret in doing nothing is
that the aspirant must practise the art of floating and hanging from the heavens whilst standing
in the correct posture and deep breathing gently with a focused mind. Although this is an easy task
most aspirants find it daunting as shallow breathing and bad postural stances are the norm for the
general proportion of the world. This problem can be corrected quite simply by the daily practise
of the right way to acquiring a healthy mind and body. Once the aspirant experiences the feeling
of weightlessness and relaxation of the body they will also discover that all their movements are
involuntary and with daily practise a sensation of the separation of the physical and spiritual self
will occur.
