thank you for the awesome detailed reply! it makes me happy to read of all the people having wonderful experiences with FPCK, I will definitely pass this along to my girlfriend. hopefully we will have a new practitioner soon happy FP, -Jorge

Thanks for your response Tlb, I will definitely encourage her to try it and if you don't mind, could you tell us a little about your experience with FP? (the particular effects you have received from it, your mindset, etc) I would really appreciate it! thanks again, Jorge

Thank you for the clarification I believe I will begin to work on it after all 3 MSW on DVD 2 have gotten settled in. and I have one other question, I would like to get my girlfriend to start doing FP with me, but would like to know if there are any changes to the postures and meditations for female practitioners. a lot of (what you would call generic) chi kung will say something like men put this hand over this one women put the other. sorry if this has been asked before, I am slowly working my way through the thread! thanks again, Jorge

thanks for the advice! I am working my way slowly through the thread, there's a lot of interesting stories

Hello sifu Terry and fellow FP practitioners, I have been practicing FP for a few months now following the schedule recommended with the dvds (roughly) and am about to begin my second Monk serves wine. I would like to clear up a confusion I have about when to begin practicing the form on volume four. should I wait until I have practiced all the meditations, should I have started already, or should I wait until after I have spent 6 + months on a couple of exercises? thanks in advance for the clarification! also thank you Terry for sharing such a wonderful system with the world!

welcome I believe once you post here you can post everywhere else! so you should try again

thanks for putting this up! sometimes when things start to go differently or I stop achieving the same effects from meditative practices I feel like I should just go back to an "average" person lifestyle... it would sure make so many things easier... but sticking to it is the key! Ill remember this a week from now when I'm feeling awesome again and I'll be glad I didn't just "take a break" for a while

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing that, I had not seen him before. He is very fast, although those falls he is taking seem unhealthy to me... I have always been taught to dissipate the impact with a roll or my hands, but he is taking some serious falls and squatting! besides that, I look forward to meeting otis!

Thanks I have been working on keeping my body as relaxed as possible, not fighting myself to do things, just letting them happen. I've also been doing some rock climbing in the same mindset as the taichi form, and my muscles (or chi?) are much stronger this way and I am much less tired afterwards. and lastly I've been just trying to stay in a very meditative state when I go train, not letting my mind wonder or think too much, just be focused and move my body freely.

I am relatively new to daoist practice and energy cultivation, so I decided to join this forum to see what I can learn! I am currently learning about and practicing some chi gong, some taichi, and some circulations/meditations. Any advice or helpful comments would be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to being a part of this community! and if you were wondering about my user name, a traceur is a practitioner of parkour, which I have been doing for a long time, and recently I have been trying to apply all my daoist knowledge to it!
