Ink Sticks.

 

I love grinding ink sticks into ink stones.
It is possible to buy Chinese Ink ready made too.
These are one of the things in our shop which makes people think we are weird.Well I hope they see this and then decide to come in and buy some.
The painting of Chinese style pictures especially with the proper equipment is a very therapeutic thing.People with certain sensors stuck all over them have shown an immediate reduction in hypertension just upon a touch of the paper with their brush already dipped in the ink.
Ink sticks are art works in themselves.
If you do decide to use them,they actually last remarkably well.It takes a long time for them to get shorter, and the art work is often safe for quite some time.
To use them, you need an Ink Stone.
Into the Ink Stone Ink Well, you tip some water.
Dip the Ink stick into the water,dragging some back onto the main surface of the stone.
Grind Ink and Water vigorously and meditatively.
You will be creating some Ink.
How much time you spend grinding determines the darkness of your wet Ink.
Now Get your Chinese Brush, the sheet of paper, the vision of peace, and whatever you want to get out of your mind.

About wahlee

Hello Barry Wah Lee from Auckland,New Zealand.

I am going to get as honed up on as many internal skills as possible,try to be a monkey, and then see what happens if I try to then take it as it comes.

looking within, I find that freedom is when you may see limits.Democracy is not absolute.It depends on so many things.

sometimes I can get incredibly down, but in doing so I sometimes find answers.If good, these answers are what may lift me up for an eternity, and may even let me help others too.Today I had another compliance issue,and although the person seems nice,I doubt the problem will easily go away.

Today I opened a fortune cookie,and it said that the only way to escape a problem is to solve it...

 

I can exhale into the internet and it is relaxing, maybe comforting for others to feel a struck chord.I do not like it if I see a shop assistant of mine do this at my shop or in front of a customer,so should I exhale and feel fresh before going to the internet?But if I do, the refreshed self is not  fake.The cleansed self is totally real  and subconsciously true too. 

compliance

baby boomers booming and acting like scouts for the Nazi SS.That is the current view of the situation.If it feels negative, Michael Hewitt-Gleeson of the Australian School of thinking whom has worked with De-Bono of lateral thinking fame , says that you should move towards many multiples of a better view of the situation.

Ingredients sold.People to be sold to and things to be checked over so that they accord with compliance.

I have to make blessings to those that transgress,blessings are to return to a spiritual realm when you are pushed to the limits by those whom have no idea of controlling as servants or  with no do-no- harm policies.I heard a new Mayor say he will look to do this in his realm.

Blessing those that make a nightmare of sleeping or waking consciousness,not to agree  but  to  show  the universe  your  subconscious vision. Finally tiring of blessing the bad...becoming like a stone actually.
