Oneness Practice: Stand-Still and Three-Fists

In my 1st book, I mentioned Three-Fists, which we introduced to the public three years ago (instead of among disciples only) when we saw the growing mental struggles, combining stand-still and three-fists, which works very well, especially for those students who with severe mental struggles, sustain negative moods, and super low energy.

Today, I'll share more details, so you can understand how Oneness helps everyone in this noisy world.

Oneness Practice: Stand-Still and Three-Fists

“It’s one thing, just different doors.”

One Essence: Awareness

At the heart of all true practice is one thing —awareness, the original clarity of life itself.

In thestand-still formof Oneness Practice, you enter that clarity through stillness and letting go.
It is like muddy water settling until its transparency returns.

In theThree-Fists form, you enter through motion.
By expressing feeling and releasing power without force, you allow the clear water to flow — its purity unchanged.

Whether still or moving, both arise from and return to the same source: the living awareness that neither increases nor decreases.

Awareness in Oneness

In ordinary meditation, awareness is often centered in the mind — observing, noticing, labeling.
InOneness Practice, the same awareness begins to include the whole body.

As the body relaxes and thevital energy of lifebegins to move naturally, awareness also becomes gentler and more alive.
There is no effort to reach anywhere — the energy flows, the awareness opens, and the two begin to meet.
When they meet, something simple yet profound appears: a quiet clarity, a living stillness that needs no name.

Some may call it awakening, but in truth, it is simplylife returning to itself.

Two Doors, One Practice

Each form serves a different condition and stage of cultivation.

The Stand-Still Form — Entering through Stillness

You begin by stopping outer motion, turning inward to meet the silent witness within.
This is foundation work — building root and clarity, charging and calibrating the system.
Like adjusting a lamp to shine steady and bright, stillness stabilizes awareness so it can illuminate everything.

The Three-Fists Form — Entering through Motion

Here you verify stillness inside movement.
Each strike or release tests whether the mind scatters, the body tenses, or awareness remains in command.
The practice breaks stagnation, transforms static awareness into vitality, and channels emotion into flow.
For modern people burdened with tension or repression, it offers direct catharsis:move and remain aware.
Think of it as discharging and verifying — using movement to confirm presence.

The Challenge of the Three-Fists Form

Unlike conventional martial training that builds muscle, speed, or explosive strength, theThree-Fists formpoints the opposite way.
It is a practice ofnon-doing in motion.
You don’t throw the fists with force; youallow the whole-body waveto release itself.
Without prior stand-still practice, habit will recruit the shoulders and arms — pushing instead of releasing — so we never begin with Three-Fists.

Yet as mental and emotional struggles have surged in recent years, we began introducing the Three-Fists formthree years agoas a companion to standing instead of among disciples only.
Our observations show that the combinationquickly builds courage and joy, especially for those withvery low energy, severe emotional pressure, or long-term negative mood.

Because of its challenge and subtlety, theThree-Fists form is offered only through in-person training.
Precise guidance ensures you do it correctly — so what moves is not your muscle, but yourvital energy of lifeitself.

Choosing Your Door

When Stand-Still Alone Is Enough

Some practitioners thrive on stillness.
Their bodies are open, minds calm, and energy smooth.
For them, standing itself is profound nourishment.
It strengthens concentration (ding) and collects scattered intention.
They are “insight-type” learners — able to feel and understand subtle internal shifts.
For them, thestand-still form alone is an endless treasure.

When You Need Both

Others begin with low energy or heavy stagnation — like a river choked with silt.
If they stay still, the mud merely settles; flow never returns.
The Three-Fists form provides the needed surge, shaking loose deep tension and awakening inner yang.
It prevents “dead stillness” — dullness or oppression — and offers an immediate sense of openness and vitality.
Thatinstant positive feedbackrestores faith and courage, which in turn fuels deeper standing.

What “Low Energy” Really Means

When we say most modern people live in a low-energy state, it can be misunderstood in the West.
In everyday English, “low energy” usually means tiredness, fatigue, or lack of motivation — something to fix with coffee, sleep, or exercise.
But inOneness, energy means something deeper.
It is thevital energy of lifethat connects body, mind, and awareness.

When this energy weakens or becomes blocked, the body feels heavy, the mind becomes clouded, and emotions easily turn negative.
That’s why so many people today live with chronic tension, anxiety, and depression — not only because of stress or hormones, but because their inner energy is no longer flowing naturally.

Modern science sees mood problems as psychological or chemical; Oneness sees them as a loss of connection between body and mind.
By restoring that connection through thestand-still form of Oneness Practice, the energy begins to move again.
As the body refines, the mind naturally brightens, andnatural joyre-emerges without effort.

Shared Destination: Awareness · Joy · Awakening

Both forms lead to the same hall.
Awareness begins with sensing breath or energy, expands into every action, and matures into continuous presence.

Joy arises not from stimulation but from harmony — body and mind unified, energy clear, ego light.
Whether the calm delight after standing or the bold exhilaration after movement, both are expressions of the same essence.

Awakening is realizing that awareness itself is your true nature — then living from it effortlessly.
The stand-still form embodies awakening in stillness; the Three-Fists form expresses it in motion.
Motion is stillness. Stillness is motion.
When practice ripens, there is no longer “two trainings,” onlyone awakened life.

Summary

Oneness Practice — through its two complementary forms,stand-stillandThree-Fists— unites stillness and motion, storing and releasing, nurturing and applying.
They are thetwo wings of a birdor thetwo wheels of a cart, carrying the practitioner toward freedom of body and mind.
Different entrances, one inner garden.
And in that garden, you finally realize:
Your awareness and natural joy never left.
