I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING 5 MINUTE ZHAN ZHUANG FOR 3 YEARS, THOUGH NOW DAILY I PRACTICE 5 MINUTES AND YOURS DAILY FOR THE ENTIRE MEDITATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TEACHING ME.
What a wonderful guide! I have no words to express how I am satisfied. What You are doing is great contribution for the world and You don't even need to know it.
In the book "The Way of Energy" emphasises warm up exercises first. It has helped me very much after nearly a year as well as a 2 minute plank. The book is by Master Lam Kam Chuen.
Agreed, the body should always be warmed up prior to integrating posture, breath work ,and mental intention. Good advice for everyone is to start at the top of the body and just work yourself down. IE: head, neck, shoulders, spine, waist, hips, knees, ankles. Good work everyone, let’s keep it up!
I started doing Zhan Zhuang 3 weeks ago. Sometimes I do it in the morning or in the afternoon. About a week ago, when doing positions 4 and 5, I felt so relaxed, I did not feel any tension of my muscle in my arms and whole body and my hands moved by itself in accordance with my breathing.. Especially in position 5, I feel that I did not feel holding a ball, but I felt my whole body was within a big ball, and so relaxed. I didn't know how to express my feelings, just follow the flow. Just sharing my experience here, hoping that there is an explanation to what has happened to me while doing Zhan Zhuang. Thank you for your video. It does very helpful.
Try your practice at the same time every day. This will increase progress. This means to follow your biorhythms, not to practice at five A.M. every morning, but to train shortly after getting out of bed every day. Let it be an anchor around which your life draws strength from and revolves. All the best to you. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association
The Guardian Chi guides all of us who seek out stillness. My advice to you is the same to all my students. Watch the breath. Watch the incoming and outgoing breath. Allow all your thinking to quiet down revealing "witness consciouness" to shine forth without effort. Get rooted, get centered, be aware of hui yin and bai hui, and watch baby breathing. When you are successful peng jin will arise. Everything else arises from peng jin. Until then just trust the guardian chi. All the best. Laoshr #60 CYKFA
Thanks so much for this video, very good practice to follow…I feel more relaxed and centered when I finish..doing this firm takes self-discipline,but it’s worth the efforta Chinese saying: “A door pivot will never be worn-eaten, and flowing water never becomes putrid.”
Very, very nice. This is deeply appreciated! We give thanks to your teacher, and the RUclips Gods. That was an easy sub. Your efforts here will bare fruit. After becoming more familiar with these postures I will share them with my own students. Thank you so much. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association
Thank you very much for your channel 🙏🏻 just one question regarding standing meditation. If one has high blood pressure which posture, from the five, should be avoided?
When doing the Wuji stance do you hold your arms slightly from the body with slight bend in the elbow, as if there a couple of eggs in your armpits, or are they completely relaxed, like a couple of noddles?
The others, who talk about this tree standing (posture 2.) why dont they also mention pos 1 and pos 3-4-5? I have checked out a couple of tree standing explanations and they dont mention. This is the first where you have more things to do than pos2.
@@QigongYogaShamanism Hi. Other 'teachers or trainers' only mentions the 2nd position out of the 5. This video shows 4 extras. As I can see you show the entire exercise. Why others dont? I mean... why this exercise of 5 poses deteriorated only to 1? Am I clearer now?
It is not there fault- their teachers either didn’t know or were driven by capitalism- always holding out so they can replenish their rice bowl- be patient with them, we are all on our path
Hello and congratulations on your nice video since there are not too many out there that can guide you as a beginner! So is the row important that can influence negatively the body if done in another sequence? How important is warming up before? Is this Lam Kam Chuen style?
I have always suggested to my students that energy belongs to no one group, it is of the Wuji, and an expression of the Dao. No more secrets, just hard work!
Popularized in the early 1900s by master Wang , these aren’t external structural methods but internal methods. Teaching it by creating the external structure is close to meaningless. Feeling- shape- phenomenon is the true nature of life. Feeling creates the structure not structure creates the result. If you really are interested in these methods you need a teacher. The purpose has nothing to do with power or strength. It’s a nourishment of the body by the body. There is no breath control as that is the opposite of natural. Master Wang made these popular in China and now it is popular in all these various other schools. But if you want to know it’s true method you need teacher. Teaching is transmitted through touching of hands to convey the feeling state.
Andrew Black: This is true that Master Wang popularized Zhan Zhuang, but it doesn't mean it was not before Him. The second point I want to say is this: Where did you see structure and feeling separated? If we are talking about energy feelings, the physical sensations, emotions, and mental states are experienced without resistance. This is the harmonization of body, breathing, and mind. The three adjustments are harmonized in order for the effect to happen. The teacher may be necessary for Zhan Zhuang adjustment, but it is the journey of the practitioner who matters. You are exaggerating too much.
It's a meditation, isn't it? Never knew these could or should be patented. At some point, someone has discovered these things before there was a master. Learning from a master definitely makes things a lot easier. But from there to conclude that no learning, teaching or progress can happen without a master is quite a big mouthful. I learned some of these forms from a master, and can tell you that "creating the external structure" as you call it, is everything else but meaningless. It is one of many possible approaches. Breaking through the limitations of the body, as terefe calls it, which will happen if one trains hard and diligently, is a deeply spiritual process, triggered solely by the external structure. Same goes for the effects of this breaking through. Just saying...
Andrew, relax man. The dogma is just stagnating peoples Qi. We should go offline with this discussion. Let people find their way, not your way or my way, their way.

The Bao is not correct at all. The posture shown will create tension in the shoulder. And who gave you the ball image? It was Wang telling others what it felt like. You can’t create the shape and get the feeling, it will not work that way.

@genevieveloveday2016 back in the day, Lam Lam Chuen was very dedicated, good on him!
Super intro to zhan zhuang. I started daily practice 4 years ago. If you are curious but have not tried it, try it and see if you like it.
Robert, glad it gives you strength, keep it up!
I have very much enjoyed watching you meditate today.
Joy in good

Great. Very calming. Body & mind.
Glad to hear.
Nice video
need more experiences to follow
Try to just breathe and visualize the movements and the mental intention behind them.
Excellent instruction.👍
Gratitude!

Great videos, thank you.
Is it ok to do eight section brocade after these series of exercises? Or would that be to much?
This is good for starters

This shouldn't be free on RUclips but thank you. If I use this in my classes I will give you credit
And why not, if I may ask?
@@romedbucher2854 it's very valuable. Watch Adam Chan about post training and Yi Chuan
@@houseofkungfu2543 Still don't understand why it should not be free. What has valuable to do with something being available for free or not?

I have always suggested to my students that energy belongs to no one group, it is of the Wuji, and an expression of the Dao. No more secrets, just hard work!
Do I still need to read the book after this?
Just do it, that's the work. Feel into it.
Nice
Thanks
Not now
If not now, when?
@@QigongYogaShamanism yes, i do it now.
Keep up the good work, this is your practice!
