I feel so rushed during the day ...today I thought MUST be able to take at least 6 minutes. Thank you so much for posting this. I realize 6 minutes isn't enough but it's a start...again :)
You're welcome Trish 🙏 the modern life seems always in a rush, I'm so glad you found 6 minutes to step out. As you say, this short time is not enough, but it has sparked that reminder to do it again 😊 Wishing you health and happiness, Lily
Thank you Anmol 😊 thank you for lovely comment on the Eight Brocade practice. It's a wonderful meditative practice we do most mornings. I'm so glad you enjoyed it too. Wishing you health and happiness, Lily ☯
It's an enduring practice, we never tire of Eight Brocades, it gets in to all the right places ☯ Thank you for practicing with us Jan 😊 I'm always amazed toy get up so early to join us online on Saturdays. David
Hi Mary, thank you for the lovely feedback. Rather unhelpfully the music is called 'The competition music of Health Qigong' it was commissioned for the International Health Qigong Federation, for the Health Qigong Games demonstrations by participants. It is a lovely piece of music 😊 Lily
@@marypereira6398 - Your'e welcome Mary. Were you able to download the MP3 file? I'm not really supposed to share the link so will need to remove the link in a day or two 🙏 Lily
I actually love the fact that there are no instructions or explanations… we can learn by following the movement and feeling the body 🙏🏻🪷 information can be looked up later.. thank you for beautiful experience 🙏🏻🪷🩷
Thank you Meya, I try to offer the practices in different formats for people that learn or practice in other ways - be that Visual or Spoken - thank you for taking time to practice with me 🙏 Lily
Thank you for the great question D Rod - This grip places the tip of the thumb at the root of the ring finger (3rd finger) - This hand form is called "Grip" or "holding solid", and is commonly used in Taoist health practice. In both Taoism and TCM the root of the ring finger is the "portal" or Meridian to the liver, where the soul is believed to be hidden (in TCM the hand form is called "Liver Grip"). The taoist masters observed that a baby that is full of natural health and vitality, will clench its fists in this manner and is full of courage. In Qigong we are encouraged to return to Original (our natural born state), so we will clench our fist tightly and naturally in the Grip to bring ourselves back to original state, like children to remove nervousness, to not be scared and be brave like a child - The liver is linked to our bravery/courage, if the liver becomes out of balance it can make a person quick to be Angered or Frightened. This can be a little esoteric, but it digs down deep in to Taoist/TCM thinking and philosophy. I hope this makes some sense 😊 Lily
Hi Bill, Thank you for the great question - As you 'draw' the bow open it is Inhale - and as you 'release' the arrow/bow to cross the wrists it is exhale. I hope that is helpful. Thank you so much for practicing with me 😊 Lily
Hi Frank, thank you for the feedback - the names of the movements are listed on my full length Eight Brocades practice here: ruclips.net/video/BQ42w9NZHfA/видео.html I will try to add chapters on this practice as soon as I can. 🙏 Lily

Thank you for posting ma'am 🙏🏽. A question: Why tuck the thumb into the fist?
Thank you for the great question D Rod - This grip places the tip of the thumb at the root of the ring finger (3rd finger) - This hand form is called "Grip" or "holding solid", and is commonly used in Taoist health practice. In both Taoism and TCM the root of the ring finger is the "portal" or Meridian to the liver, where the soul is believed to be hidden (in TCM the hand form is called "Liver Grip").

Very nice. I have a question. On the second part (Draw the bow, shoot the arrow), what is the breath pattern? Breath out or in during the extension?
Hi Bill, Thank you for the great question - As you 'draw' the bow open it is Inhale - and as you 'release' the arrow/bow to cross the wrists it is exhale. I hope that is helpful. Thank you so much for practicing with me 😊 Lily
Don't these 8 pieces have names? It would be nice to know what we're looking at.
