Qigong and T'ai Chi on the beach this morning.


The first principle that I recite (out loud) while I start my Qigong Beach Walk:

1. Loose, supple and relaxed:

    Let the arms swing freely as if they are two strands of pearls

    Feel the torso stretch in opposite directions as the hands and feet alternate forward and backward, feel the Two Pillars phasing from stretch to release. (Two Pillars: A line from midway between the shoulder and the neck, through the nipple, the hip, knee, ankle, foot and then further into the ground) 

    Feel the spine gently rotating with the momentum developed by moving forward. 

    Coordinate the relaxed movement from head to toe and then with the breathing. 

    Goal is to breath in and out through the nose, breathing out longer than you breath in. Relaxed breathing without any straining.
