Movements can be easily noticed if you have some basic understanding about Qigong. May I say it all similar in many Qigong systems. May I have some questions for you: We are all newbie, aren't we? That is why we need to keep our beginner mind, try to discorver new things. As soon as the words "expert", "guru", "master" come to our mind we kind of lose our abilities to learn. If leaning from DVD and books are not good enough why do you think people are still writing books, making DVDs? How to you think our great Western teachers learnt from Chinese, Indian masters when they dont speak the same language? I think the problem is that we dont practising our common sense enough.

Thank you for sharing this. From this, I understand more about the standing meditation. May I ou ask you to kindly elaborate some of the point. 1. In the first sentence you use "sung". What is sung? 2. Can you explain abit more about "then stand until body is thought, then stand until thought is body"? 3. What does it mean by "your 3 inches above ground" and "your 3 inches under it" Kindest regards, Your Tao Buddy.

Hello Magitek, I would like to share some of my limited understanding: Spring Forest Gong has 7 active exercises which can be used to open the Microcosmic Orbit Michael Winn has another set of 7 exercises to open Chi flow in the Microcosmic Orbit I would also like to suggest to learn this from our friend Dao Zhen: Thank you again Jesse. Beautifully done! Your Tao Buddy.

Stigweard: Who is sponsoring the course?

Thank you for your post. At this time with my current body state, I too believe that ZZ is the best way to build up Qi. Thanks to all who post/write/discuss/analyze about ZZ. Why do you separate ZZ from Qigong?

Spectrum: I read some of your discussions about ZZ. I would like to ask about the degree of knee bend. Do you think deeper knee bend is better for Qi development (assuming the same mind focus)?

Marblehead, Thank you for staying here greeting every new member.

Hi, thank you for your input. What if one innately possesses more Yi than others?

Thank you Dao Zhen. I am too glad that you are back. Happy holidays!

Thank you and happy holidays.

Thank you for the sharing. Most of us invert the cause and the effect i.e., taking cause as effect and taking effect as cause. We ourselves need to travel the road of cultivation. That is why Lao tzu said: I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and in thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world. Still, can you share your thoughts since you originally wrote it?

Santi, could you please kindly elaborate more on this?

Greetings Tao folks, I've been following the forum for a while and decided to join. Very interesting forum! I guess that I need start from here. Cheers, Reader
