A number of folks have started this idea: On Feb. 28th don’t buy anything from a big corporation–most of them are supporting governmental policies that are horrendous. Avoid buying from places like McDonalds, Walmart, and Amazon that have removed DEI references from their materials. If you must buy take out food, do so from a LOCALLY owned place. If lots of us take this action it will still only make a small dent, but a small dent is better than no dent at all and more actions like this may follow. Yes, you can call me a liberal and a leftist; I don’t mind. What I mind is that the billionaires who own most of the big corporations in this country are backing governmental actions that are destroying democracy. OK–I’ve had my rant.
From a tai chi perspective, sometimes it’s good to employ fa jing–the exploding release of your energy. This happens during martial applications of tai chi, but can also be used in our normal practice when we feel that urge to send our energy outward. After the energy is released, the slower, quieter tai chi moves can resume.
