Hey, that is it! Great. I have copied it and printed it out and it now sits inside my personal Ancestor’s Box. Thanks

I like the first line “This I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream”.

OPPORTUNITY

by: Edward Rowland Sill (1841-1887)

THIS I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream:–
There spread a cloud of dust along a plain;
And underneath the cloud, or in it, raged
A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords
Shocked upon swords and shields. A prince’s banner
Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes.
A craven hung along the battle’s edge,
And thought, “Had I a sword of keener steel–
That blue blade that the king’s son bears, — but this
Blunt thing–!” he snapped and flung it from his hand,
And lowering crept away and left the field.
Then came the king’s son, wounded, sore bestead,
And weaponless, and saw the broken sword,
Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand,
And ran and snatched it, and with battle shout
Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down,
And saved a great cause that heroic day.

Early in my professional career I was trained to use imaging, deep relaxation and hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. Later when I started my training in Jiulong I was amazed to encounter the sophisticated methods of relaxation and imaging that the Li Family had been employing for years to enhance health and martial prowess. It is a system that may be rooted in the past but it is supported by modern neuroscience.

Thank you for the very interesting article on the link between our thoughts and our bodies’ reaction. at the bottom of the article it says: ‘excepted from Qi-Gong the Li Family Methods By: Dr J.P Painter’ – is htis a new book coming out? if so i am very interested in purchasing it – as your nine dragon books are the best books i have ever read on internal concepts and practical applications in over 25 years of interest in such matters. thank you ..Mike

[...] at the Jiulong Journal have steered clear of it so far, other than Dr. Orchard’s article on Qigong. Since we engage in the use of the mind to power the skills inherent in Nine Dragon Bagua and we [...]
