TYME posture series 6/6

 Returning to Wuji: Sealing the Practice

Continuing the Tree Yoga & Meditation posture series…

We end where we began — in Wuji, the posture of quiet emptiness.
Here, the energy you cultivated settles deep into your body.

🔹 Benefits:
✅   Integrates calmness and stability
✅   Grounds you after the flow of postures
✅   Teaches the power of being over doing

Why I love it: Returning to Wuji reminds me that stillness isn’t a pause – it’s where the real growth happens.

👉 Micro-practice: After any task or workout, take one minute in Wuji. Let your body and mind absorb the stillness.

This completes the core TYME posture series.
Try practicing these six positions as a short daily ritual - 10 minutes can shift your entire day.

Post 3 – Holding the Sky: Connecting Earth and Heaven

Smile - It sweeps your stress miles away!

 Smile – it sweeps your stress miles away! 😊

Whether it’s a 3-minute slot or a 3-hour session, my goal remains the same:
To help people drop into Stillness… and rediscover their Smile.

Here I am at the Senior Citizens Forum, Vidyaranyapura, Bangalore, doing my best in the 5 minutes allocated to me!

We didn’t just talk, we practiced!
Within that brief window, we explored ‘Mandahasana’ (the smiling posture) and even managed to squeeze in a fun group activity.

It’s amazing how a small window of intention can open up space for peace, presence, and play.

👉 How often do you pause to smile?

TYME Posture Series 1/6

 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐨… 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥?

Most people think energy comes from movement, sweat, and effort.

But in 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐠𝐚 & 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (TYME), derived from Zhan Zhuang, we begin differently.

We stand. We breathe. We become still like a tree.

This isn’t about stretching or complex poses.

It’s about discovering a quiet power inside you - one breath, one posture at a time.

Over the next few posts, I will share the core positions of TYME, starting with the very first: 𝐖𝐮𝐣𝐢 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

In TYME, every session begins in Wuji - with your feet grounded, knees bent slightly, and arms relaxed at your sides.

It’s the posture of emptiness, where your body resets and your energy quietly gathers.

🔹 Benefits:

✅   Calms your nervous system in seconds

✅   Aligns posture for effortless breathing

✅   Creates the foundation for energy flow

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭: Wuji reminds me that power often begins in stillness, not movement.

👉 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨-𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞: Stand in Wuji for 2 minutes during a work break. Just breathe and notice your body settling.

Next in this series: I will share how to awaken this quiet energy with the second posture: 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐧.
