S4 E3 - Discipline vs Obsession
Episode 3
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
Discipline vs. Obsession: Finding True Balance in the Internal ArtsIn this episode, we explore the delicate balance between dedication and obsession in the practice of Tai Chi, Qigong, and meditation. Starting from the relationship between body and spirituality in Eastern disciplines, the discussion examines how intensive training can shift from being a tool for growth into a mental prison. Through personal examples and observations of masters and practitioners, a key message emerges: true spiritual practice is not measured by the number of hours spent training, but by the ability to integrate discipline with rest, authentic relationships, and lived experience. It is an invitation to let go of the paranoia of “never being enough” and to rediscover that being a practitioner matters more than how much one practices.Topics covered: intensity vs. balance; the danger of the paranoid personality; the importance of emptiness and rest; martial practice vs. spiritual growth; finding one’s own personal path.
