Mindfulness of the Body and Standing Meditation (45 minutes)
This is a more concise explanation of the rationale and practice of internal Chinese martial arts practice of zhan zhuang, also known as standing meditation. This video removes the introductory explanation and immediately begins the body scanning meditation - it is recommended that after watching the extended video, this video be used for a period to train the body scan.
After the explanation of the basic body scan for standing meditation is explained, an explanation of a basic neigong practice is given which guides the practitioner towards development of the 6 harmonies. The neigong can be practice as either Li Tailiang's Lifting/Pressing exercise or Chen Zhaosen's Opening/Closing Exercise.

Using xinyi piquan and zuanquan for the Aunkai agete movement
Переглядів 3732 роки тому
The Aunkai folks have been trying to bring out different ways to power an arm lifting movement that they refer to as "agete". They have explicitly been trying to discuss generating the movement without using back/yang power. I thought I would contribute a video where I show 3 different ways to power the movement, based loosely on Dai Xinyi's 2 more basic elements: piquan and zuanquan. Note that...
