There are internal and external energies.  Cultivating both is probably

the best.

Holding stances for a long period of time is another form of training

for the body.  That's not the case with inland fishing, though. ;-)

Cardiovascular and muscular training benefits also from internal energy

training.  The problem with the philosophy of 'doing something' is that

any internal energy training can be considering as doing nothing.  Then

there's no balance between internal and external.  It's all go-go-go on

the outside.

Robert Fripp, for one, did experiments with effects of sound on people.

Some frequencies will trigger body and mind responses.  At a certain

level, yes, the music that is listened-to can have an influence on the

person and then it matters.  At the taste level it's something else, but

at the physical level it can vry well be that certain frequencies and

certain rythms actually have an effect.

Yes, same with music.  I still do not know how to qualify this.  I all

kinds of music as long as there's *something* in it.  I think that

something has to do with the creative spirit.  Or something.  I find

some music boring and other music not boring.
Some people also go by the masses.  If it's popular, then it's good.

Some people will not listen to music that is unknown, or too foreign.

In these cases, the mind, the psychology, plays a role in 'appreciation'

of music.  Although when the role is so heavy, I'm not sure if

'appreciation' is the right word at all ;-)  'Furniture' could be more

suitable.  Some people have music as a furniture in their life ;-)
