Also I am hoping that one day you can make it out to the East Coast for a workshop one day- TAC in NYC maybe?

Thanks Paul. I first did Heaven and Earth at World Tai Chi Day in Connecticut. It is a great set. The orbits are still very subtle for me, it's not easy for me to feel a lot of that flow. I think it's still fairly new and I haven't really focused on it, it should become clearer as I work on it.

Yin and Yang are embedded into each other ad infinitum. So there will never be a paradox, but only a (sometimes quite complex) transformation between them. My understanding is that Yin and Yang are not falling or rising anywhere, they are just activated where/when they already are.

Paul thank you. You are a incredible teacher!

Yang energy is transmuted back to yin in heaven! This correlates with the empty space of consciousness (heaven/ground of Being) as the space where all that is manifest returns to its true nature! Now I see why meditation teachers often equate stillness with awakening! At our core we are the "space" within which yin and yang dance. Thanks Paul

great explanation

Another inspiring video, thanks for sharing such pearls of ancient knowledge and wisdom.

Why wear sunglasses in nature?

Thank you, Paul. Beautiful video

Thank you for again another inspiring, informational video <3

Thanks Paul, I learnt this with the amazing Brain Cooper back in the 1990's and still practice it, but this was like a free refresher course! Very humbled by your generous sharing of this core technique, I'm truly grateful.

"Wow, this neigong practice is absolutely mind-blowing! My jaw is on the floor while my heart is soaring with pure joy. Incredible!"

Thank you Master Cavel this was really a great vid! Yes very tricky finding good information about bagua. I have learned one form from a master of hun gar who knew one but seeking to learn a second. I'd like one that emphasises / develops fajin if you are able to direct to me to any good resources @PaulCavel

The first level is very advanced.

You know your field is radiating powerfully when the birds decide to line up in your video shot

I've been working on this for months. It's a really helpful movement. Interestingly, it is basically the attack position on a motocross bike. The technique is very similar and the initiation from hips and pushing back. I haven't been focusing on that though just relaxing into the position. It did uncover a lot of mobility issues in my body in hips and ankles. In the past, I would have started focusing on this and really trying to stretch them and force the movement. Injured ankle recently so that was an issue with this exercise but kept at just coaxing my frame along and relaxing. Only going just a little past my range. Anyhow, now I can hold my feet with fairly good form and not a lot of strain. It's just a different mentality than what I have done in the past in the gym. I like to think of it as relaxing into the position instead of it being an exercise so to speak. Really enjoying the channel and content. I'm going to keep at it until it is second nature. It has really improved my balance too.

❤❤❤

Beautiful

Is everything purely goal oriented for acheiving somthing with taoist practices? I noticed you listing all the various things you can "make better". Is this more or less the goal? I'm not too familier, as I follow Buddhist practices. More towards non-dual practice. Does taoism teach non-dual practice? Thanks!

I found this a wonderfully clear explanation. It's so good to hear how far this history goes back. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

thank you so much Paul. Is there a way to lower the music volume though?

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)
