Openness

Generally when we do Qi Gong in the morning the last exercise we do is the word for the day. We then do a free form movement tracing the word in the air. Yesterday I was thinking of learning as I was heading off to the the Alexander Technique/Body Mapping workshop with Bill Conable. I knew the first session was going have several AT Teachers in attendance and participants who had been together on the previous days. Suddenly I found myself intimidated. That was when the word openness arrived. I have to be open to truly learn anything.

Within the first hour of the morning session Bill used the word "openness" or "being open" three times. I smiled.
