Most recently, I purchased a Wudang Tai Chi 28 Shi DVD by Zhang Xue Chao (wudangdao.com) to learn. I have most recently been practicing qigong and meditation.

PrimaMateria Posted May 1, 2013 What qigong do you practice? Hi OldGreen, I noticed your photo of the Parthanon, and I wondered if you went to Athens in 2002? Regarding your question, I practice a couple of qigong exercises to help create jing. These exercises stimulate the lower back and lower abdomen. One is called "Bear Walking" I learned from Yan Gaofei in Hollywood, FL, several years ago. The other is a part of Wudang Shen Quan Qigong set that I learned from Chris Turner in Northern CA also several years ago. After the building jing exercises, I practice Kong Jing I learned from Guo Bingsen. I subsequently found the same Kong Jing videos as part of the Chinese National Chi Kung Institute Tien Tao Chi Kung Correspondence Program (which is excellent). See http://www.scribd.com/doc/127330598/The-Complete-Qi-Gong-Course-Tien-Tao-Chi-Gung on the internet. I also add some other qigong exercises I learned from time to time.

RiverSnake Posted May 2, 2013 Hi OldGreen, Do you have any recommendations regarding the qigong(s) to practice? Also, how does one get permission to join your cultivation group? All the best, PM If you have a qigong method that respnates with you and you get results from it then i say do that one . I also gave a list of the ones I was most familiar with here: http://thetaobums.com/topic/27757-what-is-the-best-qigong-lineage-to-start-out-with/ I am not sure what you mean by Cultivation Group?
