Sample two movements - "Wave Hands Like Clouds" and "Parting the Wild Horse's Mane." Make Tai Chi your own. Play low and slow for your legs and core. At a quicker tempo for an aerobic workout. With weights for great arms and shoulders. Or play gently as moving meditation.

Best practiced with a staff that is a little longer than your outstretched arms. (Not hiking poles.) Movements are relaxed and smooth. Eventually! Personal instruction would be ideal, as there are details and helpful hints to share. More than those which are included in this brief sample.

มุมมอง 2449 หลายเดือนก่อน
Recorded live via Zoom, this "Bird Wings" Qigong awakens and activates the Three Treasures - Earth Qi, Heaven Qi and Human Qi - and the Central Meridian, the energy channel that integrates our three primary energy centers and connects us to Earth Qi below and Heaven Qi above. Earth Qi is grounding, motherly and productive energy. (I mistakenly said it is associated with purpose.) Heaven Qi is e...

On my winter sabbatical at my friend's house on Lake Huron. Playing outside is one of my favorite ways to take a break from computer work! (Watch it fast-forward... way cooler!)

This is a simplified version of the first half of the form, played without bringing the foot in for a closed Cat Stance and without lifting the leg where we typically would. Enjoy! Note: Keep your fingers closer together than mine are. Not tight. I'd been playing a lot of "Bird Wings Three Treasures" where my fingers are like birds' feathers!

A first for me! It's a new hot spot in Tawas City. Kathleen showed me how it's done. We had great fun. Laughed a lot too! Some of my Tai Chi students think we need to add this to our weapons offerings. Hmmmmm...

Doing what you love! All that matters. Nice flow. Good qi.
Bigger blocks. Be careful of that center piece if someone slips. Real good stuff!
Thank you Nancy for a lovely World Tai Chi and Qigong Day. Such wonderful energy shared by this group. Thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of your Tai Chi Sword Form. Your gentile yet strong energy flow was apparent. So happy to have you as my current teacher.

Smile!

I don't play by the rules.
Rules? I like to think "guidelines." Especially with my Tai Chi. I like to make that my own! Just saw this... sorry I didn't reply sooner.
I'm just joking. That's because I have Silat and Escrima origins. I love Taiji. Do you practice double sword?
@@mikeneidlinger8857 I was kidding too. Although I do play my Taiji at different tempos. Yes, I do practice double sword. Love it!
You have to train for combat all the time.
Thank you, Nancy for these!
Thank you for your feedback on the brain exercises. I'm glad you've enjoyed this series. If you'll email me or send me your email address, I'll send you my "Breathing the Elements" audio meditation. My best to you!
I started doing this after my sister’s stroke paralyzed her right side and she had to learn how to use her left side. Try it in the bathroom - that’s really hard!
It gets better and better how relaxing. So important to take time and enjoy nature. Thanks Nancy and students
Thank you Nancy so relaxing I have never exercised my eyes. It's wonderful doing these exercises with you. Thanks again.
I’ve heard the first movement is good also for relieving inflammation in the body. Thanks for your videos!
That's great... thanks! Glad you're enjoying these!
Hi Nancy! My name is Courtney. I used to practice Taichi with you years ago and stopped only because I moved to Pittsburgh where I still reside. I've always enjoyed your email newsletters and am now excited to learn about your TH-cam channel. I love learning the simple yet effective exercises. They are awesome! Thanks for doing this. And, would love to see you on Instagram making reels. I think people would love you over there! 😊
Thank you Nancy always sharing your gift many Blessings to you always. You help to keep us healthy a better quality of life I love it and can feel the difference when I practice with you on these videos.
Thanks, Courtney! A few people have suggested I start using Instagram. It's on my list! In the meantime, do explore my TH-cam channel. Playlists can direct you to what you're interested in at the time. Appreciate you writing!
@@eddiegilmore9293 Thanks for writing, Eddie. Glad you're doing the practices and benefitting from them!!
Thank you Nancy! Just what I need
Yea!! Thanks for writing!
Thank you for choosing me like this because there is your channel in the videos listed on my TH-cam. In difficult times like these days, your channel is steadily growing, so that your dreams come true and share the joy. Work even harder and be strong. Fighting! A TH-camr will always have to work hard to be loved by his subscribers. I think in my own way that each and every work in the channel that I do in my life on TH-cam is to be loved a little more by the subscribers who support me. I am so happy that you enjoyed it. Oh, I really like it.
Hi! I'm not good at checking for messages on my TH-cam channel. What a pleasure meeting you. I really enjoyed the gentle guitar/harmonica music on your TH-cam channel. I can definitely play my Tai Chi form to it. I'm glad our paths have crossed.
Thank you Nancy for sharing your talents ,knowledge. you are so gifted
You're welcome, Eddie. I'm glad we have reconnected!!
Absolutely beautiful and serene...you truly captured its essence
Great job Nancy, lovely video. I will try to remember to de these eventually. Missing you. But I am happy where I am right now. Have not gone out unless to a doctor.
Good to hear from you as always. Stay safe and keep moving!
Thank you Nancy. Did it the exercises and enjoyed every minute.
Thanks for writing. Glad this has been good for you. Sorry it took me awhile to reply. All this technology is hard on my brain!
How did you do this video Nancy?
I have a tripod that I set up for recording with my cell phone camera. I was blessed to be the only one there for that entire time. Glad you're getting benefit from it.
Thank you so much Nancy, this is a great video. Missing you.
Thank you for the video. Look forward to more.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Thanks for posting, Nancy! It seems like such an odd exercise until you actually give it a try, then you're hooked! Stay well!
Yes!!
Thanks Nancy for coming today and for this video which I will save for further use. God bless you and all you do for us and the rest of the world!
You are so welcome. Thanks for all the good work you do as well!
Always figure eights '-)
Loving your idea of kitchen exercises - hope you will show us some more to do !!
