ChiDragon

It seems to me it is a very vague statement regarding to exposing the center line of the body. I can see other parts of the body could be exposed but I cannot make such statement about the center line. The feet are at the lowest position; and the elbows are at the outermost position of the body. Especially, there is one thing is very uncertain which is how can the breathing be observed to make such judgement.

I don't quite understand the question....!!!

There is nothing that need to be clarified. The clear is always transparent. The muddy becomes more muddy when disturbed.

Thanks! It was very impressive but it is still very specious........

Difference between Tai Ji and Chi Kung

When we breathe, we inhale air(氣,chi) into the lung. The oxygen(氧氣) flows in the blood and deliver to the body cells to produce energy(氣,chi). The body energy was generated by the body cells. Hence, the source of energy was breathed from the air into the body. During cell respiration, the oxygen was use to generate the energy for the body to function. The more air/oxygen we breathe the more energy that the body can be generated. People get confused and thought that Chi Kung was breathing energy from the air. Actually, Chi Kung is to learn and practice how to breathe more efficiently to provide more oxygen for the body to generate a maximum amount of body energy as it possibly can.

You should look for something like Tai Ji Chuan or similar like involving breathing and with movements holistically. Another words, all the body parts are moving spontaneously and slowly in synchronize with the breathing.

This video has more movements. Based on observation, it seems to me that some of the movements are some basic physical exercises in junior high school.

Did someone explain about this kind of Qi sensation to you.....??? All Qigong masters should have had aware of that and start with you as a beginner with the preliminarily steps. Can you describe what were the steps that your instructor was given you....???

May we see what you have found on youtube.....???

You welcome! Yes, it's yours truly.

Does anybody ever run out of breath during the practice of "running qigong".....???

In regarding to the "Lazy Taiji", the tradition Taiji classes was taught in the 108 from. Since they were simplified to the shorter forms, people were joking that the shorter forms are the lazy forms of Tai Ji Chuan. Thank you for being interested in the original famous "Jade Lady" form which was known as the "Four Corners". For your interest, here are the two forms of Jade Lady and Cloud Hands. The Four Corners..... The Cloud Hands and Repulsive Monkey......

At least, somebody has been enlightened once in one's lifetime. ....................

It is interesting to see a combination of other forms within the Yang style. I see a little Chen style and a martial arts leg movement in it. The form was done in random sequence; or nowadays, perhaps it is called the simplified form or lazy Taiji. The "Jade Lady" form was originally called the "Four Conner". In the simplified form, it has been reduced to only two corners like just left and right. I am wondering are you interested to see its original form of the Yang style...??? Perhaps the "Cloud Hands" too....!!!

You welcome and likewise........

If one would like to understand the concept of yin-yang, then one should start something fundamental like the Yijing, 易經, the Classic of Changes. It doesn't quite work out learning something from the middle or backwards.

Hint: Please do not try to translate the superficial meanings of these two characters. It should be interpreted by its intended meaning by the author of the TTC.

That's quite a challenge.........

You are the most humble man who is dedicated to Wushu. You have the virtue of martial arts which is the highest quality of a Kung Fu practitioner could ever possess. BTW The attire was only a minor observation. It is immaterial and not worth to mention again.

You welcome...!!! The second character is in Simplified Chinese which most people are not very fond of.
