Finally I visited my university @oxford_uni 😁Long-distance learning has its perks but walking these streets, learning about the long history and the magnificent architecture was an unforgettable experience🎓°Fun fact 1: The University of Oxford has been active since 1096. It's the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's second oldest running university 🤯°Fun fact 2: The Divinity School behind me was used as a classroom, examination room and at some point was even the king's residence which made Oxford the capital. Also, they shot some scenes for the Harry Potter movies inside it (2nd photo). To this day, is the oldest building still being used for various purposes 🧙‍♂️#universityofoxford#OxfordLifelongLearning°°#oxford #divinityschool #college #university #SocialSciences #anthropology #humanism #humanities #philosophy #psychology #sociology #history #politics #architecture #literature #spirituality #religion #culture #society #knowledge #bookworm ...

Human nature can be examined through philosophical, psychological, sociological, political, biological, historical and spiritual lenses 👓

If you really want to understand human beings you need to accept and synchronise the ideas from all these fields because humans are complex species 🧠#OxfordLifelongLearning

Chinese cosmology, thinking, medicine and martial

Chinese cosmology, thinking, medicine and martial arts are always related to Wǔxíng (5 phases/elements) of energy and how it changes. During a Chinese tea ceremony they harmonise perfectly because each element it's a representation within the ceremony🍵 Watch the whole video to understand ⛓💧🌳🔥⛰️ #wuxing

Gunshu is definitely my favourite weapon to experiment with. There are so many possibilities of movement, it's fluid and works the whole body in each movement. Under my Shifu (@shiatsu.medicalmassage)'s guidance I understand more about spirals in each Taiji lesson🌀 #staff #FridayFlow

The Literary Theory course opened our eyes to literary theories such as Russian Formalism, New Criticism, Reader-response, Structuralism and Post-structuralism. In addition, we learned about movements such as Psychoanalysis, Feminism, Marxism and Post-coloniasm 📚 #OxfordLifelongLearning

Zhàn zhuāng (standing meditation) is the fundame

Zhàn zhuāng (standing meditation) is the fundamental pose of Taiji and other internal martial arts. It helps the practitioner adjust his/her body alignments which promote relaxation in the muscles while expanding the joints. Thus, the body sinks due to gravity and the spine elongates, opening up. As a result, the body stays healthy without pains, as well, the mind connects with the body and breath. The ultimate stillness exercise☯️
