"At the higher stages of energy continuation, one will find his movements are now being governed by the movement of his internal energy. This is the Qi of energy, not breath, to which I refer. There are essentially three basic ingredients for higher accomplishment: 1. Mental tranquility and physical relaxation. 2. Application of the integrated supple strength of the whole body. 3. Continuity of the internal energy without interruption from movement to movement and moment to moment throughout the entire form." [ Wu, Ta-yeh, 1989]

Embrace the Tree or Holding the PostDavid found this chart and was kind enough to send it along. It is recommended by teachers to stay with a form for at least 100 days. A consistent practice is the most important asset you can develop. This chart lets you keep track of your progress. Thanks David.

I understand and acknowledge that Qigong is for general health and fitness only. I understand it is not physical therapy and does not replace and should not be substituted for prescribed physical therapy or other medical treatment. I will consult with, or have consulted with my doctor or other medical professional before I undertake the practice of Qigong.
