What answer ? Was the original question expanded? - (where did the benefits of qigong go) - (find/get to a stage where one doesnt need to make any effort to practice): you want to know if resumed effort activates old benefits? - IF (microscopic orbit online = suspend or abandon qigong practice) then: A. online/offline B. practice evanesces revelation re QG benefits C. FriendLee redefined craving (craving = cause MCO to come online?) What answer ? Thanks (I tend twd obtuse, apologies)

while trying to shut down 'I need to "win" ', (cross-eyed/upside down): ...cow's (animal?) head (right upper third of frame), looking at camera, emerged ...looked away from pic 'til "that's it!" emerged... before: various, people scattered throughout, generally in profile or 3/4 view first reaction: fairgrounds at a circus/county fair (!!!??!)

Transition: A fever dream wafts a fantasy of incorporating these loosening movements I see in these musicians' neck, shoulders, and spine into practice : full and relaxed at same time*?... bums, get ready to roll: https://youtu.be/HHN9UO8A0oQ?t=5 (*Our qigong teacher's teacher (Feng top student) guided him to "bring your other interests into your practice": tango! ...in the last third of class we follow his tango cat- and cross-steps and suddenly even more mysterious and coiling upper body shapes; silly grins bloom throughout the corps, an infectious light boosts energy and each student's eyes travel thru the forest of smiles, we move together and tai chi becomes unity and individually differentiated pleasure). Moving the above perspective to breath: immaculate control of physical body motion (theremin) sculpts vocal-like expression/breath; (hands hear the note in the mind and arrive "before" the note moves air ?): Breathing from the bottom: an unwavering, steady unhurried ensemble wave's majestic advance maintains soft tension; Steve Slagle's woodwind breath weaves different shapes (based on a simple six note pattern (ba-da-dat... baa-daa-daa-a-a-a...)) dodging the expected, unhurried, always in the time, still sticking the landing: exercise for me: improvising different shapes to get to the resolutions in a structure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m03B5NNade4 two mighty fat girls (be sassy and creative over a steady pulse; (...requires true talent)): https://youtu.be/VS49B6RzVeY?t=1499 if you're still here: ...I try to very slowly move and flirt with the broad, wide, rough and lazy march tempo in this circus music: (excerpt from Hal Wilner's Amarcord with Carla Bley's ensemble) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJXz7CQ3xVk coda: teacher's tango added humor to my tai chi practice

I'm not sure how current the page is, FWIW, CTMAA lists the SFQG8 form on its site here: http://ctmaa.com/content/Qigong-Qi-Gong-Chi-Kung-Chicago/index.html At CTMAA, regular weekly classes and summer workshops on the following qigong methods will be given: Sword-Finger Qigong in Eight Forms Zhineng Qigong Five-Dragon School Inner Alchemy Qigong They will be described in more detail in the following sections. 1. Sword-Finger Qigong in Eight Forms This qigong method, passed down by Master Wang Xiang-Dang, is one of the most complete qigong methods transmitted in secrecy from master to disciple through many generations. In the past, the method could only be taught to disciples of the Tao and was otherwise reserved to royalty for their use in the preservation of health. Qigong Master Wang Xiang Dang The Sword-Finger Qigong incorporates the essence of mystical union of the individual with heaven and earth. It teaches the ways of gathering the energies of heaven and earth to circulate them in the human body as the means of maintaining good health and developing potential special abilities. In centuries past, there was no single complete set of deep-penetrating sword-finger exercises for internal organs; only single sword-finger and double sword-finger exercises. This Sword-Finger Qigong in Eight Forms is probably the first complete set of deep-penetrating qigong for training the qi which has been made available to the general public. Although the method consists of very simple movements and is very easy to learn, it is very effective in healing or recovering from fatigue. In average, it takes about three to four sessions (or hours) to learn this method. In other words, after attending the Wednesday's class three to four times, you should be able to practice it by yourself at any time. The total time to practice the whole eight sections in this method is about half hour. Sword Finger Qigong workshop at CTMAA

Hello, I am slowly trying out the Flying Phoenix DVD series, and have been reading the DB Flying Phoenix threads for context and feedback, and have registered to continue accessing these posts.
