It is taking me a while to get through these.

 

Very appreciative.

Thanks for sharing these. Video number 9 (lesser MCO) provides a very good description of an  experience that  arose unexpectedly some time ago in my shadow yoga practice and now generally shows up whenever I sit still with my back straight.   While there are a number of  things in common between what is presented in these videos and what is in my yoga practice, the MCO is not a specific quality sought in yoga as far as I am aware. I’ll have to ponder this a bit to understand what it’s message for me is.

 It’s  a hatha yoga style.  There is a book on it called Shadow Yoga Chaya Yoga by Shandor Remete and a documentary movie called Agniyogana.

MCO - 3 Video - Anchoring the breath

Would this be advisable to do before learning Tai Chi or doing any Qigong?

Just got reply. Posting it here in case it helps someone else.

"Anchoring the breath can help with Taiji though it’s not necessary and the DT in Taiji doesn’t fill in that manner, no"

He has a separate video on YouTube that teaches just anchoring the breath (not linking it to the MCO) - I think that’s more appropriate for most people than the MCO version (mainly because he anchors to the Dantien in the standalone version, whereas in the MCO one he anchors lower down - which is unhelpful as a standalone exercise).

I would guess these are the ones....
