#xingyiquan — Public Fediverse posts

It’s weird that I wasn’t able to get any sleep last night. I did my evening #XingyiQigong exercises, and I was already so wiped out yesterday

But #TuNaSiBa this morning was REALLY intense—like, #Qi throbbing explosively out of my fingertips and toes intense; such an odd sensation, not anywhere near as painful as the very first time I opened my Láogōng and Yǒngquán cavities (centres of palms and soles), though still a sensation I would describe as pain

#Qigong #XingYiQuan

I’ve done all four breathing forms of #TuNaSiBa #Qigong but only once each, while following along with the videos accompanying Song, Zhi-Yong’s #XingYiQuan books.

But doing them just once feels like I haven’t done them at all. So, even though I’m completely emotionally exhausted today, I’m going to work through them another three or four times.

I really took my time with #TuNaSiBa #Qigong and #SanTiShi this morning, a full two hours: 90 minutes for the four breathing forms, and half an hour for #ZhanZhuang

Yesterday, I didn’t have the emotional energy to repeat all four breathing forms a second time, so I did still meditation in the afternoon (in three half-hour sessions as I was trying to build up to four breathing forms), and then the #XingyiQigong exercises in my evening session

That seems to be a good balance, maintaining three sessions a day but a wider spread of Qìgōng practices; so I plan to follow the same schedule today—save for the fact that I’ll commit to still meditation in one solid 90-minute block

All four #TuNaSiBa (吐纳四把) #Qigong forms plus left and right #SanTiShi successfully paced instinctively to 90 minutes total this morning

My Xīn (心) is really invested in Master Li’s methods

#Qigong #ZhanZhuang and #XingYiQuan went exceptionally well this morning. Yikes—they went so well I didn’t even realize it was already 11 AM

#Qigong still felt weird tonight. The deep-muscle #Qi flow continues, but my root, core, and power still feel off when totally relaxed.

So I’ve been taking it easy on my #XingYiQuan training, focusing only on #ZhanZhuang so I don’t hurt myself.
