How I see the Ming’s Mirror
By Pu Xueping, Suzhou, July 9, 2017
I have been yearning to taking the “Authentic Series” courses offered by Amy Choi and have missed twice regrettably. On June 20, 2017, I could attend the course eventually. In fact, I was attracted by the word “sexuality” of the “Authentic Female”.
All the students in class are women, giving me a unique and wonderful feeling. I could see and understand more “clearly” the “Ming’s Mirror Method” as conducted by Amy, the faciltator, during this five-day course.
At the end of the course, I told Amy that in all the cases, which involve the others and myself, what benefits me is the outcome of this learning. In fact, what is more important for me is that I have learnt about “bravery” – which I think is a critical element of the course. I could see the balances performed by Amy – her openness, her moving with the flow, every movement, and every expression. If she were not so “clear and transparent”, I think she could not express in such as way. One session is about women’s wrapped feet. One of Amy’s foot went into spasm when she was using the “Ming’s Mirror”. Without “bravery”, I personally feel that one could not act like a mirror totally. It is because a mirror bears no existence of goodness, badness, beauty and ugliness. A mirror only reflects completely and authentically. Therefore, I think that the essential element for a person who does “Ming’s Mirror” is bravery.
My second feeling about “Ming’s Mirror” is great love and inaction. This feeling is evolved from a balance involving a woman who once had an abortion. Amy, as she was acting as the clear mirror, wished to secure her mother’s love as her child. However, her mother stationed at the place and gave no response. Some women in the class were very anxious. After the balanced was ended, at the time for sharing, someone said, “I couldn’t wait any more and really wanted to push the mother to the child.”
Amy then said that she believes the universe is filled with great love. She has no wish nor intends to carry out any level of pushing. My understanding is that everything happens in accordance with its own balancing system. If the external force drive the person to complete the so-called “goodness”, such as hugging and the connection with love, at that time, it may look more comfortable and it meets everyone’s expectations. However, in the long run, when there is no external force, the parties are likely to resume to the original state when the external force was revoked. Therefore, I feel that to act like mirror, a person needs to trust that the universe is filled with great love. A person needs to set aside subjective opinion, let go of the so-called good or bad judgment, and acts under the philosophy of inaction. If a facilitator drives the balance based on subjective opinion, it would be a difficult job for her in the long term. The outcome falls onto the person may not be the original expectation, and the person being balanced is not given the opportunity to act according to his or her own decision.
My third feeling evoked from “Ming’s Mirror Method” is that the sensory development of the facilitator has to be wonderful. This time Amy Choi surprised me. When she was performing “Ming’s Mirror Method”, her response to corporal odor, or even the odor from organ, was amazing. I was amazed and I knew that my sensing ability of smell has a lot of room for improvement.
My last feeling of “Ming’s Mirror” was: art and fun. In a balance, Amy Choi spoke in monologue manner like a poet. Her speech was filled with philosophical tone. When pacing around, it was very artistic, sensational or emotional. In other balance, she depicted the story of the person and it was like a drama. She interpreted the story by herself. Her expressions and actions were full of tensions and the person involved wept under the resonance. I personally consider that this does not mean that Amy possesses the performance talent. It is the “emptiness” created under the context of “bravery”. At one time, when Amy used the Ming’s Mirror in the session, she would hold a piece of yellow flipchart paper and made many postures. While Amy was playing with the paper, the person being balance was being hit by the midst of her own boredom.
Five days have passed. I could see myself through Ming’s Mirror Method. Through the story of others, I could see myself. Through the Ming’s Mirror Method repeatedly performed by Amy, I noticed that I have possessed the qualities that a balance facilitator should have. These include bravery, great love, inaction, art, and fun.
If you have a clear mirror in your heart, then every thing and every person would be reflected in you. If I have a clear mirror in my mind, then every thing and every person could be reflected by me.
Finally, I want to say that the greatest gain and insight acquired from this five-day “Authentic Female” course is: a woman of authenticity is most sexy!
