Thank you for these responses, I been putting of practising at midnight , but ill give it a shot and see how it goes

What are peoples experiences with practising flying phoenix and tao tan pai at midnight? I have read midnight is when yin energy is strongest and it could be too strong so was just wondering if this was true. Thank you

Thank you for telling me this Sifu, I have tested negative now thankfully. I found that after the first few days of rest due to joint aches as a symptoms, doing Bending the bow and monk holds pearl helped me over come those joint aches quickly. This was because after practising those exercises, most of my joint aches were gone the next day and I could get moving again. Thank you again

Hi Pak_Satrio, Thank you , I will shall keep practising flying phoenix qigong still with COVID. I'm not bed bound since I rarely get sick, just some sharp muscle pains here and there . I shall attempt monk hold pearls and some seated meditations and see if it goes well.

Hi Sifu Terry, Is it okay to practice Flying Phoenix Qigong with COVID19 ?. I tested positive this morning and was wondering if doing FFQ meditations would help recovery. Thank you

Hi Sifu Terry, I have recently found a local Xingyi quan teacher and started learning from him. I just wanted to ask if it is okay to practise TTP31 and Flying phoenix meditates and Xingyi San Ti Shi and standing forms all in the same session. Or is it similar to other Qigong systems where I have a 2 hour gap. My Sifu said it is okay but was unfamiliar with the TTP and flying phoenix systems so I just wanted to double check with you. Thank you

Thank you sifu

Thank you for your response. I actually find the half lotus position more comfortable than the normal cross legged which might seem a bit strange. Ill see how I go tomorrow when I practise and ill keep an eye out for slouching. If the problem still persists and there's no improvement then I shall send a video to Sifu terry as you have suggested and hopefully he can suggest a solution.

Hi all, Just a question, when practising seated meditation from Vol2 , did any of you experience pain or stiffness in the chest, or sensations such that make you feel like your going to Belch ? I been practising it for a bit but the pain or pressure builds us after doing a bit of the seated ones which have hand movements. ( I usually do a few standing mediations and then seated ones, but I have no pain during the standing ones). Is this some thing I should be concerned about (maybe bad posture or alignment) ? Or could it possibly be just that my body isn't used to doing the movements seated ( lack of conditioning) ? Some thing I noticed is that during the mediations I unconsciously start to slouch, I fix when I notice it but could this be the cause ?

Hi everyone, Its my first time here and was wondering if anyone can please teach me how to post questions in an already existing forum? Thank you

Oh I see , Thank you

Hi all , sorry just a question , I know generally in qigong we shouldn’t eat or drink minimum of 30 mins before or after qigong. The dvd say don’t eat before but nothing about after. I was super hungry and ate straight after a qigong session which I normally avoid. Is this harmful for practise or it doesn’t matter ? Thank you

I deleted the question now because the issues is all good now . I was just over thinking it at the time

Oh I see , thank you

Hi all, sorry to bother you guys again but just a question , if I train everyday for about an hour or more , how long is it recommended to practice volume 1 and 2 until I progress to volume 3 ?

Yes this helps a lot , thank you for clarifying

Oh I see, ill try that thank you

Hi all, I am new to this system of qigong ( Still on DVD 1 &2 ). I was just wondering did anyone specifically count or measure using a stop watch to determine how much to exhale for each breathing percentage approximately?. Or is this unnecessary and something I will become more aware of as I practise ? Thank you
