Eastern Philosophy and Strip Clubs
I recently spoke at length to a serious devotee of Eastern Philosophies and practices. He informed me — in a most gentle and friendly manner — that I was “out of balance,” i.e., that too much of my energy was concentrated in my head area. I was overloaded with the “air element,” as most of my professional life involves thinking, speaking, writing, and analyzing. Head stuff, you know.
He suggested that I become more gounded (literally) by walking barefoot in grass and spending time at the beach, where I would be exposed to earth and water. The fire element seemed fairly in check, according to him, and manifests in my insatiable desire for hot food and hot women — which, as we know, can be one in the same.
Now, the beach does have a magical and therapeutc effect on me. I have commented that I can feel my stress melt away as I play in the surf. And, rivers are appealing as hell.
None of this is earth-shattering information: blue water and rivers relax people. Well, unless you’re afraid of water and hate sand.
The concept, though, of channeling energy throughout the body for balance makes sense. The notion that we may be too intellectually focused sounds reasonable as well.
So try to maintain a balance of the physical and the mental. Go to the beach. Walk barefoot in the park.
For a quick — but expensive — re-channeling of energy, strip clubs work well too. An enthusiastic lap dance (or three) by a toned, friendly, attractive, articulate woman can definitely rearrange your energy particles in a most timely fashion. You’d be amazed how quickly your mental energy starts moving south.
