learn qi gong

I learned Dragon Pearl today. Yesterday I found a lovely quiet spot right on the lake and did some modified yoga and the one qigong move I know – Wuji Swimming Dragon. I like Dragon Pearl. Gets my heart going.

today I learned wuji swimming dragon. Hard to do the deep breaths with the movement, and even with the slowest movements, doing the movement only a couple of times, I found myself tired and out of breath. I had to spend time adjusting the simplest standing position, as my hip hurts so badly. I know even slow movements are challenging, but I’ve got to do this to recondition myself from being so immobile since May.

taking a class RIGHT NOW. It is invigorating like nothing else, but the malaise that follows (from sifted shoved off stagnant chi) is quite a hangover.

there is a centre downtown that offers free qi gong classes once a week, and honestly i have no excuse to not attend. i am interested in so many aspects of spirituality, and practice meditation and yoga as is, so i would love to experience qi gong and see if i can fit it into my spiritual practice. i would like to attend at least one class in the coming month.

Qigong is simply put, the manipulation of Qi, pronouced Chi, anyone can do it, all you need to do is focus on your energy flowing through meridians to chakras which are the points where you want it to go, then release, use it to strengthen yourself, or even in my goal, punch people without making contact.The Discipline I am working on it called the Sunlight Hands.

I’m going to wait until I get the opportunity to do this

That is postponing study with a master of this art. I will still pursue my own thing.

Better harmony, strength, health, peace, power, patience, and perseverance for starters. :-)

Interesting, not what I expected. Now to the other goals “finish what I start” ... need to practice!!! I think it would take 2-3 months minimum of Qi Gong to actually get a feel for it (and whether there’s anything really there)
