talking about impact injuries and pulsing - so it was probably a good thing to do tai chi right before the surgery of my broken hand - nurses were looking for me everywhere in the hospital wanting to prepare me for the surgery according to the procedures and I was happily practicing in the yard (having the hand and forearm secured of course)

Thank you for a fascinating discussion. I'm particularly interested on a personal level, as a 73-year-old male, whether the nei gong, which I do (nearly) every day, maintains bone density, obviating the need to do resistance exercises?

Really enjoyed watching, thankyou to Paul Cavel🙏🙏

Okay this is pretty wild. I started trying to increase my flexibility and mobility about a year ago as it was disappearing fast with age and my activities. In this process, I remember laughing at breathing into different parts of your body as nonsense. Here I am practicing. I do movement practice and am just starting meditation and I feel this would be a good one to start with. My lack of mobility has/had more to do with tension that I carry with me everywhere due to life I guess. I can feel it leaving and parts of me relaxing and moving better. The flow approach and how you move is the opposite of what I've done in the past with physical training with weights etc. Very regimented start/stop movements under load which really just puts you in an inflated state of tension. Just wanted to drop a comment and thank you for posting this content. It is really life altering.

I appreciate the comment on skimming and never going into depth on anything. I tend to do that - always looking for the next thing. Something to work on for me.

Paul Cavel is best mistr

Replying to practicing while in recess or even facilitating and teaching in that state while practicing… it is in the state in presence being in discomfort applying attention in receptivity becoming comfortable in the suffering of discomfort. It is here in the martial healing that qui or the well reveals itself. Like Bruce Lee and every other great contributor to the Tao is trial and that the tonifying nature of suffering will challenge the initiated… Illness, sickness, limitations .injury has yielded the most powerful foundational Tao meant to only be built upon. 1 body time<> weight in wait ~ sensation 2 mind attention < >receptive vs measure (receptivity elicits critical thought intellectual access. Intimating concise communication develops . Opportunity for inclusive dialogue ,deescalation through intimatisation in eliciting pain suffering and ill that the intent of that are we faced is revealed and the well of martial healing qui grows. In measure all perceived and participating are then required in requiem then to be measured against that roll perceived … this is in fact the seton of violence… The ends and means of measure require substantiation. A system must exist as believe to recruit substantiation. It is these systems that imprison the mind and separate thine self and thine from everything that is . Its articulate sycophantic despondency is its weapon. The threat of failure, not belonging , shame, identity, optics, value and pride of that even your closest loved ones if in measure will require… Violence is defined by this simply. Measure. It’s medicine Martial Taoist recruitment The weight of attention rested in the sensation of receptive attention Actioned In language elicited in body rested In sensations attention 3 ego action = voice behavior requiem of requirement receptive vs measure 4 spirit nature connection will karma <> Tao requiem to the initiated . It is here trial developed that heart rested in the soul I body. It is here life will begin and unto thee met . Heart delivers us gratefully . The light of that is the whomb thy flesh does exist is the comfort that even in death fear is placed beside thee into the world thy heart in body rested in thine soul cast. In body fallible and flaud born into this life gifted with life gratefully.,Cast into existence born into indignation subjugation violence evil perversion and trespass .it is from the suffering that this birth into life toneified the heart in soul that rests in this body to develope the healing martial Tao I practice today with great success… 5 creation source qui light imagination Tao of return and renual When the initiated through trial and application bring light tho that once therewasnotand actions it into Tao rooted in martial healing absent of agenda reward or measures do these 5 elements require the martial practice of transduction return and report. 3 martial laws Repetition Contrast Interest Using all 5 elements in application of the mastered using and establishing the rudimentary application of 3 basic channels to that are in body beholden elicited opportunity invitation curiosity a potential and discovery All states of mind in the receptive Performance at the highest legal requires acute health strength resilience courage integrity creativity all complete and recruited not from perfect health. Not from great strength or courage . These are developed from recess pain struggles suffering , it is the inspiration and strength in heart, absent of agenda that weight in attention receptive i sensation begins to yield the tao the heart of thine soul rested in body The nature of creation of the light born into life will thee in honer this gift with the Tao now into light from suffering actioned absent of agenda elicited whole in heart rested ibody thine soul rests …. So in response great performance does not always express in health or begin there . Performance is symbiotic, and comes from a myriad of different things. Mentorship is essential, witness, purpose, service, Commitment, to self, others, venerability

You're extremely good at explaining things clearly Paul, many thanks.

What is the symbol used at the beginnings of the clips? What does it mean?

Thank you

Regular qi gong, By default, seems to me to rely on the same principles as the water method

Makes sense, except where does D & T figure into this?

💐 It's like, Buddha was asked what did he gained from Meditation?” He replied: “Nothing.” “However”, Buddha said, “let me tell you what I lost : Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of Old, Age and Death.”

🙏

Listen to your body, it has its own wisdom. A different scenario- "A go-slow is a protest by workers in which they deliberately work slowly in order to cause problems for their employers."

Unless it's taken as a hypothesis to experiment on its just another Theory. ❤

Please, what is the difference between TTCS qigong membership and qigong part 1, about neigong water method course. Do both have the same content? If I register with "qigong part1", maybe there are other parts that will follow, right?

Fantastic video. Thank you! I’m sorry I just now found it. Quick question: where does Tiger and Dragon Qigong fit in? Can it be practiced parallel to say energy gates or gods?

Tellement bien expliqué. Je suis d accord de par mon expérience.

So beautiful to know Paul. I had never even thought about this connection . . . Each time I practice your words will resonate inside of me. Thank you deeply, and much Tai Chi health.

I love how tight a space this form can be practiced in. Appreciate the demonstration!

He moves with fluidity

Very important explanation, thank you!

Thank you Paul

Thank you for this video. I am looking for a way to release buildup tension, energy from my system- body-mind traumas. Thank you for presenting this method😊 I hope one day I will find something for myself.. Already a water-way of thinking and approaching life would be a great change . Kindest regards to everyone❤

Baguazhang was invented by Dong Haichuan in the 18th century. He learned Taoist circle walking and combined them with martial arts he already knew. To say Lao Tzu knew Bagua is ridiculous. There was no Lao Tzu. He was an invention of different authors.

this is so important for everyone- not just those practising internal arts. Thank you for sharing:)

What level of commitment is necessary on a daily basis in terms of practice time? (min & max)

Only just noticed these clips in the miasma of online stuff. As always: rich content, pitched just right - insightful, informative, interesting, incisive and inspirational! Thanks for all you do.

What is “ water method “ ?

Yes- I concur with this in my own internal arts journey since the 80s. It's true that you can develope a younger body. At 57 I'm in better shape and far better health than I was as a teen and 20s. I heal like a young person. Becoming more asociated with the energy aspects of self. Sung- release cannot be forced but there are skilful methods to enhance the opening and releasing process. It's a continuous and fascinating journey. Great to hear these affirming anecdotes. Thank you.

France?

I loved these minutes of minute contemplation of the psoas, the sensing of the alignment. Most grateful. Belén from Caracas, Venezuela.

Patience and trust are key here. I am 71 and have been studying this work for a few years. Once I made this a daily practice however then the changes have been significant. Arthritis in the hands and an old back injury have albeit disappeared and I now can continue to coach football with less recovery time needed. Trust and relax into this method and let this art of the ancients work it’s magic in its own time.

Thank you, Mir and Paul. The perspective you offer here has been very helpful to deepening my understanding of these practices. Paul, you are so eloquent in presenting this material.

i love these these little vignettes. thanks so much for doing them. they are enlightening.

I really like the analogies, on the benefits of daily practice.

I need explanation to understand what I do and relaxe/let go. Here,I m happy to finding those explanations. Really interesting.Thanks for shedding light on the different levels of back hooking. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤ I can really relate to what is addressed in this video. My Qigong journey began in 2011 - with a lot of issues and everyday challenges my body provided 😅. My start into practice was really challenging and I was lucky to have a colleague, later good friend and now partner at my side, who supported and taught me all the time! He suggested starting and we help each other out with correcting our forms regularly. When I first started training with Paul in 2012 I also asked him about my issues and what to do about them. And in everything I learned, he told me to "soften and do less!". Until one point, when I thought I couldn't do less... but then I did and my body responded quite differently. Suddenly I felt, this is heading into the right direction! That's 10 years ago now. And I can safely say, I have a younger body, than many other people my age (38) and a younger body than I had 10 and even 15 years ago! Training Qigong, Neigong and Tai Chi has changed my health, mental state and life to the better 😊. Thank you Paul for your support over the past 12 years of my journey 🙏 😊.

Great conversation, very helpful. Thank you!

Really enjoyed this 3-parter. Thanks guys :)

Yes! on the individuation.

Great first day!

Very nice and clear historical explanation of the knowledge you are sharing. Thanks to you and the all line.

I remember learning this with you years ago. I can't remember the context - were we learning 2-part stepping? I thought we were but you mention at one point in this video that "in a sense" it's like 3 part stepping. I like your comment below about how at faster speeds the front foot pulls the body forwards.

Wonderful and inspiring explanation of the history and methods of the Water Method. Many thanks to Paul, Bruce and Master Liu

Considering the depth of Daoist knowledge and their understanding of the human internal system they probably weren't just some random hunters and gatherers dwelling in caves. As in the case of the most ancient pyramids and pre-dynastic stone vessels with their high-technology tool marks the Daoist material is another solid indicator of a previous advanced civilisation before the last ice age.

Nicely articulated, thanks.
