Ça détend bien et ça étire le dos.
À faire tous les matins avant quoi que ce soit d'autre.
Qi ( Tchi) c'est le souffle, l'énergie.
Ces mouvements sont à faire en utilisant la respiration abdominale.
J'ai même tendance à utiliser la respiration complète : abdominale, poitrine, clavicules et épaules.
Excellent aussi avant une scéance de sport. Ou après...ça dépend de la pratique.
There's no such thing as progress in #taichi / #qigong without your mind also getting rewired and transformed, but the mind-body aspects don't cause changes in each other. They just both change and blur together.
My comfort at my new $dayjob keeps growing. I am still preparing for my first project and have some ideas for some coding to help me work out a few ideas before the formal kick off.
I am planning to end my work early to visit my usual weekly haunt, Saints Row Brewing, to see my friends among the staff and regulars.
I think I am hyperphant, as opposes to an aphant, meaning I have an "overactive imagination". I think this has fueled a certain skepticism and hyper-rationality in me as hedges against putting too much credence in experiences that might simply be my overpowered imagination.
Then I learn about popular science that tells me, at least for my meditative practices, that some effects may be more real, like Tai Qi hands, than I previously gave credit. #taichi#qigong#zazen
Been a nothing kinda day, although when I wasn't getting rained on, I did all my #Qigong in the park, stocked up on groceries, so I don't have to go out tomorrow, and finished the day, as per usual, with a very relaxing 20 min meditation session. I had four (or was it five?) nicotine pouches, which wasn't really helpful, and bummed around on the computer for way too long. Shoulda found time for reading, and practicing the piano, but as usual...didn't. Feels too much like work.
I salute you with a closed right fist with thumb tucked and touched by a left palm with four extended fingers together to show self-discipline with humility. The Salute represents five continents and four oceans together in solidarity.
We are one world, one breath at 10 am in every time zone. Please join us for Tai Chi or Qi Gong.
If you suffer respiration issues , and I do, I would recommend this to anyone.
It also cured my recurrent back pain.
I am not one for magic cures but I did some online learning during covid and I find this works. Also it really is a fine example of Ba Duan Jin.
