Purpose:
To learn the best exercises to develop internal force that you can use to improve your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual activities. Success on this course will improve your work, play, sports, relationships, sex, mental clarity and spiritual cultivation. In short it will make you better at whatever you do. Quite a claim, but generations of Zhan Zhuang practitioners have proven it
Expected Results:
In the previous 2 levels we have focused on improving the flow of energy through the energy channels within your body. Now we focus on building the flow of energy. This increased energy flow is what we call internal force. Traditionally internal force was cultivated by martial artists to develop incredible striking force and mental clarity under combat conditions.
Fortunately times have changed! The beauty of internal force is its versatility. In short this increased flow of energy can be used to make you better at everything you do. More importantly this extra store of energy means that your internal organs will last longer resulting in less illness, giving you more vitality and increasing your longevity.
Zhan Zhuang is a generic term referring to a category of chi kung exercises where a practitioner remains stationary in one chosen poise for a length of time. Paradoxically, because it looks simple -- and is simple -- it is easy to make mistakes when one trains without proper supervision. Because there is only one form, if you make just one mistake, you are 100% out. Making mistakes in powerful chi kung training can lead to serious side-effects.
Each week, I will check your form and make subtle corrections. Having this kind of weekly correction is an important part of learning this type of chi kung safely.
A typical class will include the following:
- Attain a Chi Kung state of mind
- Dynamic Patterns from the 18 Lohan Hands
- Internal Force Postures
- Flowing Breeze Swaying Willows
- Gentle Flexibility Exercises
- Standing meditation
The course will be taught in an 8-week cycle.
