In this Podcast of Tibetan Kung Fu: Cut Thru the Chaos | TKF 009
Getting through the Fog of Chaos in 4 steps is a Podcast that resonated with me as a Maritime Meditation long ago.
In this narrative, I walk you through the facts and skills of how SeaMen navigated the sea’s before 1100 AD. The magnet compass was created in 206 BC, but not implemented into sea navigation until 1107 AD.
There are 4 steps that I share with you:
- How to Recognize your situation
- How to collect yourself
- Orientate yourself even though you can’t see through your senses and experience
- Choose a new direction
KungFu was trained upon ship decks, particularly in Southern China.
With visibility less than 100 yards, knowing how to survive when you were lost at sea wasn’t just theory.
You will learn which questions to ask immediately and others to avoid asking until later. Also I will share with you what real illusions that you must be aware of when you get lost in a fog at sea.
For my students, I take you through the Maritime Meditation, which is about a half hour to walk you through step by step, liven your senses and teaches you how to Captain your own ship.
I would like to hear from you, Send me an email or post. If you use the lesson to change your situation, let me know about it. Sharing helps others as well. I really appreciate you sharing your review on iTunes or Stitcher.

Second."
Thank You,
Sifu TW Smith
