Bedroom too small? Is there room for a yoga mat? That’s all we need.

Hi Sifu,
When it comes to practice, I have an added problem –

Bedroom too small, Outdoors too cold, kitchen/living room not appropriate! Too many interuptions! So, I am back to the bedroom once again! Better than nothing, I suppose!
I find it hard to concentrate on my chosen exercises when members are moving on with new material.

Can you advise on the best and quickest way to catch up or maybe choose the best exercises for me at this time – where I want to feel & direct chi plus eventually manifest a way forward to combat fatigue and achieve the experience of the power of living in the *NOW.

Can you help with a slightly personalised program for me. I am desparate now🥱🙄😤🥱
I just don’t know what exercises to choose now! My head is in overload!

Interesting thread, thank you for this. It suddenly occurred to me that I would happily spend more than 15 minutes on Facebook and sometimes *couldn’t* seem to find 15 minutes to practice!! Hmmmm, priorities. 😊

In reply to Bill Grocott. I'm glad it was helpful! You're not alone in your struggles. Wait until you see the new qigong course I'm working on. Hint: it's on this subject!

I know this is an older post but……….Well this just showed up on my Facebook page at just the right time. Just lately I have been having a little trouble keeping my practice as regular as it should be. Seems there is always something else that needs done or someplace I need to be and I tell myself I will practice later, but some days that later practice time never comes and the next thing I know it’s bed time. I need to take this advice to heart and get back on track.

Thank you Sifu.

This is excellent advice. And I couldn’t agree more with #4. Mapquest tells me I am currently 1031 miles away from Flowing Zen studio. I look at the weekly schedule and think how wonderful it must be to have access to Sifu Anthony’s teaching and those classes on a regular basis. It is costly and time-consuming (but absolutely worth it) to travel to workshops in Florida. But I also think that in order to study and practice qigong and tai chi at a distance one must develop a certain resolve and discipline that is beneficial. One must also be creative in making use of available resources, e.g. Grandmaster Wong’s books, Sifu Anthony’s articles and videos, and the like. I look forward to my next live and in person workshop and hope my fellow students in or near Gainesville appreciate and take full advantage of their opportunities!

Thanks for making this practice easy and so enjoyable! The review section is really useful. 3 weeks ago I had a lot going on and started to let my daily practice slip. I’m back on the horse now and appreciate your support, which encourages me with a light hand without guilt – no pressure. I love coming to the studio – lucky me! with love and thanks..

Dear Sifu Anthony,

I save all of your emails and I am happy that I saved this one in January, 2012. My practice has been like one who is learning to drive a “stick shift” car. You give it the gas and let out the clutch. If you do it too fast or too slow, the engine dies, and you start over. In some cases, frustration takes over and one decides it’s easier not to learn to drive a stick shift.
I have also felt as if I have let you down when actually, I’ve let myself down! The problem has been back pain increasing rather than decreasing. I know you have said to work through it, but like the stick shift driver, the pain overwhelms the desire to continue.
I appreciate your idea to do the 2-minute drill every day. I can do that! I will do that! Thank you so very much.
Frank
