Infinitely Curious: Embracing the Wu | 23 June 2024, 11:00

Starting to tap into your center and connecting with the universe around you does something very important. It asks you to be still. Still is something that we seemingly never are. Between scrolling through Instagram, hanging out with friends/family, running our business, and perhaps cooking three meals a day, we are hardly ever still. But it is in these moments of quiet and introspection that we start to really connect with what we want and get clear on how to get there. Stillness is one way of awakening our existence, help us feel present in the moment and most importantly stay in touch with the Wu.In Chinese the wu means something intangible, the so called effortless action and those for example who play music or practice Thai chi and chi kung they practice to embrace it to make it tangible. Wu is the sky, the surroundings, the earth, the chill we get on our backs from the air that breathes onto our necks or the music we hear or that stillness we conquer. It’s that nothingness, that emptiness around us which is far from empty or nothing. Once we have a good grasp of what and where the Wu is, we become extremely powerful and capable of living without stress and harmony with ourselves and our surroundings.

Tune in this Sunday 23 June 2024 at 11:00 am (Athens time) to Infinitely Curious, the English-language radio show of Voice of Greece with Katerina Batzaki, and listen to how that nothingness and emptiness of the Wu is the core of our existence. Hear Tekson Teo, long-time practitioner of Wu Wei and author of books such as Wu Wei Come Alive, unraveling the mystique behind why embracing the power of not doing or actionless action can lead to profound transformations in our life. Find out from Professor of St. Andrews in Scotland Karin Fierke how she explores the parallels between quantum physics and ancient Asian philosophical traditions and how mind, action and strategy in Buddhism, Daoism, and Hinduism are related to quantum impermanence, complementarity, and entanglement.
