More details will follow in January with some Palm Changing shows…but briefly consider this…

It’s best, I think, if the palms do not contain just one feeling. Fire, for example can blast but one would not enjoy sitting by a blast furnace. So let’s give the palms a range of options…not just martial, but a spectrum.

I have a question for you. Do each of the respective 8 Mother Palms’ properties (such as Fire “clings”, Water is “abysmal”, Mist/Cloud is “joyous”) also inherently describe their martial energies, and if so, what are they?

Based on my experience, I would guess that Sky lifts, Earth squashes, Fire blasts, Thunder smashes high, Water crushes low, Wind pierces, Cloud drills, and Mountain cuts.

This is just a guess, however…

Peace.

Yeah…I like when imagination supports experience rather than filtering or twisting it.

I’d love to write on animals, but it will require more tangible experiences. The wilderness area east of me may provide that.

It’ll be a while before the 64 Changes are published and complete here. In addition, when I dig into real connections to animals, expect some shifts away from magic creatures like unicorns, toward real animals, like elk.

Imagine an elk horn weapons form…

My favorite thing is that this stuff is absolutely devastating in martial application while still diving so deeply into so many areas of yourself and those things around you.

Connect with animals and understand them better. Hey Steven – any plans to write on that?

Love digging into the palms!
