Working with Donna is a great idea. Hopefully I stop by Mr D's class again soon... I love seeing more people showing up there!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435911314664052046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837528477962488372.post-16176762312696958742010-02-09T12:40:33.153-05:002010-02-09T12:40:33.153-05:00Gratzi Rick.

Now I am focusing on inviting the energy to continue up past the heart chakra and up to higher levels for some healing in my laying down stance practice. I am grateful for the practice and hope to see you again at Dan's class.Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837528477962488372.post-36591565311970812072010-02-05T08:17:27.829-05:002010-02-05T08:17:27.829-05:00Hello Amy,

I does take a while to understand the feeling. You can also kind think how the laying down "stance" is done, inhale floating up... Exhale lightly pushing... Hope this helps! Nice to see you here reading the Wujifaliangong Blogspot. I will look forward to reading more of you comments here too.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435911314664052046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837528477962488372.post-51927859339116315282010-02-05T05:48:41.500-05:002010-02-05T05:48:41.500-05:00Rick,

The suggestion was to slightly lower my hands and then slightly retract them as if dipping in quicksand for a couple of repitions and then stop. Was in exhale in the dipping and inhale in the pulling up or the opposite?<br /><br />Thanks.Amyhttp://www.bemellc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837528477962488372.post-6189010418959888042010-01-31T07:35:36.808-05:002010-01-31T07:35:36.808-05:00Hey Rick,

I go back and read old ones, and I even frequently search through your other sites for relevant postings.<br /><br />Keep these posts coming, and the vids, and any audio you might wish to post. I can't get enough!<br /><br />JPJ.

How does the turtle get ...Interesting post Rick...<br /><br />How does the turtle get down from the post? In practice like zhan zhuang of course consistent practice on one's own is needed, and yet proper guidance is also necessary.<br /><br />Is "rigid" and "non-living" equivalent to "lacking connection", or can this be further expanded to lacking overall awareness?<br /><br />How can we differentiate between rigid and non-rigid? For example, in stance one's arm might feel dull or stagnant (or is this incorrect positioning to begin with?)...<br /><br />As I continue practicing stance/zhan zhuang, things have been coming more "alive" for me, sensations here and there, but in particular, the burn in my legs...<br /><br />Just a few random thoughts from one such "turtle"...ahohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10805164787123006530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837528477962488372.post-57814367629425702072010-01-28T09:03:25.144-05:002010-01-28T09:03:25.144-05:00Very Nice Twenty,

When you talk about the natural connection showing up this is a wonderful place to notice showing up. Imagine now bring those connections to other practices... Nice right!<br /><br />The aspect I enjoy about Zhan Zhuang is how it keeps showing us more and more depth... If I could say "It's even more than that" and at the same time very simple and direct.. Alive!<br /><br />Hope this is helpful...

Nice post.
I notice while doing my Zan...Hi Rick, <br /><br />Nice post.<br /><br />I notice while doing my Zan Zhuang training, that my mind sets the intentions.<br /><br />There is an intention to stand in a specific position.<br /><br />There is an intention to stand with a few very specific alignments in mind.<br /><br />There is an intention to notice - follow the waves. I notice a somatic wave and a respiratory wave. The first is based in the spine, the second in the breath.<br /><br />Actually, they "intertwine", like two lovers.<br /><br />So it's hardly "a post", and more of "a copulation".<br /><br />Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Your friend, and junior Wuji Fa brother,<br /><br />Mr Twenty TwentyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976249584798575306noreply@blogger.com
