very relaxing
That tough .
I felt its more differ cult to relax the dominant hand…
That is normal, it will take some time to get it down. Just be patient. 🙂
Hi Y’all, relax , loose & whipping motion feels good. Thanks.
That is awesome to hear brother!
A few years ago at the Kung fu championships in Orlando, I came across a Chinese vendor promoting “Ping Shuai Gong”
This exercise is similar to this technique. It swings both arms at the same time. On the 5th repetition you bend your knees and raise back up which effortlessly swings the arms back up for the next swings. I have been doing this daily for 2 years. IMO, I feel this the simplest and best exercise to teach relaxation whole moving. You should check it out. Just Google ping Shuai gong intro. I have guided audio that is fantastic. It definitely enhances Kung fun practice.
That’s awesome brother! Yes we’ve seen this move you are speaking of before. It’s the same move just with some slight variations. Just like in Tai Chi or Wing Chun, depending on the style of each or the lineage rather, there will be differences of movement. Sifu Phu has added the Ngo Dac Na principles in to our Qigong and all of our styles to create efficiency in movement.
If you do our version properly you won’t need to bend your knees to get your arms to swing effortlessly. I like to tell those I teach to think of swing arms like you are a kid skipping or playing on the playground, you swing you arms without a care in the world and the movement is effortless and the flow of energy propels your arms to swing forward and backward just like a happy child.
It definitely is relaxing and there is no strain. If you are feeling unrelaxed and straining to do this move, it is because you are not keeping your 3 P.R.O.O.F. (The Point Rules On One’s Focus) in mind as the energy goes from the shoulder to the elbow to the wrist. The wrist does the driving/steering.
Thanks for sharing and I hope the above helps you! Blessings!
Thank you Sije Jamie. Your comment about swinging your arms like a kid at play, really took the thinking (and stinking) out of this exercise. It was really easy to make it a feeling.
You are welcome brother! When I came to that realization it made it soooo easy. Glad my epiphany could help you. 🙂
Feeling is so intense; at times it gets even hard to get the arm up and it gets tingly all over the palms in the end – thank u so much!
I agree Qigong can be very intense feeling..
It’s these little hints that make such a big difference in feeling. Well tought! Thanks! Even if relaxing sometimes sounds easier than it is.
Love it! Glad you are enjoying the lessons 🙂
Great lesson. Loving the QiGong so far. Today I started with Circle the ball and then did the 1st form of TaiChi and I really felt the energy flowing through my hands. That was amazing! Thanks Y’all!
Glad you are enjoying the lessons
