The 6th Harmony is: Combine Movement (Action) and Emptiness (Void)
dong he yu kong 动合于空
The final harmony in Liu He Ba Fa. Also the most abstract and esoteric. Now that your shen reaches every fiber and hair of your body, expand beyond it. Work to feel your surroundings, to become aware on a different level. You will look as calm, poised, you will radiate energy but every movement you make, feeling you have, will be subconsciously occurring based on the environment around you. You will not have to think it, you will just do. The expansion you experience will be great, possibly even frightening. You will be like a baby again, in a whole new world of details and feelings but once you learn to control it, you can become part of a greater whole.
This harmony starts when a person grows around them as they do the form. The energy radiates around the person and expands their movements into the surrounding environment. They may be small in stature but they exponentially grow as they conduct the form. A person watching them will “feel” them in a way they cannot explain and wonder how the person got so “big.”
You must remember this form is a means to the end. Once you have reached this level in the form it must be spread and developed in all facets of life. There are also levels within levels of this harmony; expansion, consistency, then concealment — i.e. you must contain everything yet appear empty working towards a true wuji state.
Few ever reach this level. You must find the right instructor to lead you through the harmonies ontop of the daily dedication and resolve. It becomes a way of life as all facets drive towards this goal: sleep, nutrition, activity, recovery…everything. The form was the beginning– the gateway drug to a greater path. You will find peace, harmony, health, and happiness that spreads to everything but allowing that to happen is up to you and your mindset. The form will give you health and strength but the harmonies will give you true fulfillment and happiness in life, a goal worthy of chasing.
