What does ‚spirit‘ mean? You can also ask: What does ‚heart‘ mean? Because our spirit is in our heart. What our spirit is, is also connected to the heart. All changes begin there. 

The Qi of Lì Qiū helps us to feel what heaven reveals to us as information of the invisible level. We can work with it. First of all there is information, then at some point there is change (for example on a physical level).

Heaven shows us something like an example. Of course we can learn from this example to live a good life. Heaven shows us now: Autumn is already here. But nothing is happening outwardly yet. Autumn means that summer is actually over. When autumn comes, we can feel and think about how to adapt our lives. This corresponds to an inner preparation. It has to do with the feeling for what is to come.

This can be something different for every person and every culture. The weather, for example, has to do with everyone individually. One can cope well with the summer, but not so well with the winter. We all have different preconditions to which we can react accordingly.

All changes happen originally through the mind. Actually it always goes from the invisible to the visible. Many things happen in the invisible. When we practice, we become aware of it. We can then use the information of heaven. 

So it is for example with this autumn. If we simply „close our eyes“, then we are unconscious. Consciousness in this context means that we notice something that heaven tells us and prepare ourselves accordingly.
