Dancing with the Tao: A Thought from the Wind

Dancing with the Tao: A Thought from the Wind
by Andrew Z. Soler

The other day, I scribbled something. It wasn’t planned, it just… happened. A few lines about Wu Wei, bamboo in the wind, the Tao, and the idea that maybe—just maybe—I’m someone else’s imagination.

It got me thinking. Maybe that’s how all truth arrives: not through force, but like wind brushing through leaves. That’s Wu Wei—not doing nothing, but doing nothing unnatural. Letting life move through you, like music through a flute.

Some will say this is laziness. But to me, it's alert stillness. It’s choosing not to swim against the river, but to trust its current, knowing it’s all part of something deeper. I don’t always understand it. Sometimes I feel like a ghost in someone else’s dream. Or a projection of a thought the universe had once, and then let go.

But in that space of not-knowing, there’s peace. A quiet truth that doesn’t need to be proven or posted. It just is. Like the Tao.

So I write. Not to explain—but to let the words rise, like mist over water. Maybe you’ll read this and recognize a feeling you haven’t named yet. If so, we’ve already met—somewhere between illusion and manifestation.

The Tao ( original Poem) 30.04.2025 (Ireland) - Andrew Z Soler

Wu Wei — like bamboo swaying in the wind,
non-action mistaken for laziness,
despite the ebb and flow of nature’s breath.
Perhaps the Tao is the creator—
but how should I know?
Maybe I’m someone’s imagination,
an illusion... or a manifestation.

Fun Things to Do with Hypnosis

Fun Things to Do with Hypnosis If you’re looking for fun hypnosis ideas, here’s a list of cool, entertaining, and mind-bending things you can try with friends, family, or even yourself! These range from simple suggestibility tests to full-on hypnotic experiences. 🔹 For Beginners (Easy & Fun) Magnetic Fingers – Watch their fingers "magically" come together.

"Qigong Meets Hypnosis—And My Brain Has Never Felt Better!"

Tapping Into the Mind: My Path to Calm (and a Bit of Muscle Too) If you told me years ago that I'd be geeking out over the power of the mind, practicing self-hypnosis, and doing slow-motion martial arts in my living room, I probably would’ve laughed and carried on lifting weights. But here we are. My journey toward calm, happiness, and just feeling more me started with a deep curiosity about how the mind works. That curiosity led me into Eastern philosophy, then psychology, and eventually to some fascinating practices like guided imagery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and hypnotherapy. Basically, I’ve become a bit of a personal development sponge. One of the things I’ve stuck with the longest—over 12 years now—is Hypnosis & Qigong. Think of it as graceful movements, kind of like Tai Chi's cool cousin, paired with mindful breathing. I've learned the basics through classes, YouTube dives, and plenty of self-study. What keeps me coming back is how much be...
