Mike G. this morning. He approached my while I was practicing on the beach. He's seen me 'out there' for years, doing 'something' perhaps qigong?
Anyway conversation led to an introduction to the practice:
1. Standing Meditation (I Ch'uan) for vertical alignment, relaxation and breathing (the basics).
2. Single leg balancing, recognizing when you are in balance (on either leg), once you have the 'feeling' then try to lift the empty leg without any further movement or leaning when the empty leg is lifted.
NOTES:
*Without correct vertical alignment balancing will require more effort.
*The more precise the alignment is the more relaxed the single leg balancing will be. Period!!
*It takes time, dedication and discipline to acquire proper alignment.
*Alignment must be continuously monitored and adjusted. Especially when moving.
*Alignment is best developed during Standing Post training.
*Developing proper vertical alignment to gravity is an essential first step toward the 'real deal'.
It is essential but it's NOT easy!
