Hi Sifu,

thanks for a good video. Just discovered qigong and really like it. My master is as old as you are, at least I assume 🙂 He teaches very slowly each excercise but when he practices it is really dynamic and it looks perfect. You can see how he feels and control every movement.
Once we spoke about qi and other stuff and he told me that practicing qigong helped him to not only feel qi but see it, moreover help cultivate in other people and heal. It also opened his third eye.
Is this really possible?

Thanks
johny

Me again. I feel like I can sense my qi a little better now and I can feel those laogongs from time to time. Trying to visualize my qi actually got in the way a bit of sensing it. My question, which is pertinent to this video, is that as a qigong newbie I am a little intimidated by how many exercises there are. If I just do internal qigong based on clearing out energy blockages and getting a better flow of qi through the meridians and elsewhere is that likely to work out well? How much do I need the exercises? If I should also do exercises do I need to do many of them in your opinion as a master of qigong? Thank you again for these blog posts by the way!

In reply to Sifu Anthony Korahais. More like an 1 hour average and on a really good day- 3 hours. There are rest days though when I have to study but use the mentality. I guess I did not do 10,000 hours? Sure felt like it.

In reply to Sifu Anthony Korahais. Hello Sifu. I meant that I have not really mastered myself(especially the sexual energy thing). I think I am past 10,000 hours there are highs and lows in the practice. I am physically healthy but not psychologically yet per say. But picked some interesting tidpoints from 3 to 4 different masters from qigong to Kun Tao. Still refining I will let you know when I am at the highest point spiritually.

In reply to Antonio Restivo. Hi Antonio. You seem pretty sure of yourself despite the fact that you've only been practicing for 5 years. Let me know how your perspective changes once you reach 10,000 hours of practice.

No one is a master until they master their sexual energy! But in the mean time you can do some good stuff. Practicing qigong since 2014.

Dear Sifu, Namaste!
Can I differ on ‘Qigong is just an art’? I agree with demystifying things and putting those up simply and objectively.
I don’t see creativity in Qigong in terms of producing something tangible. Yes, when I leave all forms I have learned aside and I move as my body may want to by letting the mind take over, I find interesting movements manifesting itself on its own. But, like any art form, I am not creating anything tangible. The same movements seldom appear again, they’re always new.
Qigong and Tai Chi are not just art, not to me. They are most definitely an art and beyond it too, depends on the individual how to take it. I am just so eager that you mentioned this, your words are important because you have manifolds more experience than I have.
I might be wrong, but art to me is always something external coming to me or something in me going out to the world.
Qigong and Tai Chi is something starts within me and remains moving inside me for myself so privately that it is not even possible to share it with anyone.

I love and respect all Tai Chi and Qigong masters.

I happen to be bed-ridden, and am very productive within my apparently limited circumstances, doing a great deal of art and songwriting, even now working upon my 507th song, which is about the spacial exploration within the country of India, I adore your “walk and talk” discussions, and derive so much knowledge from your discourse. I do regularly, several times each day—Fireworks, and also Lift the Sky. I follow health methods of Deep Breathing, and usually feel much stronger and more relaxed after my Qigong exercise. I want to thank you, Master Anthony, for the time and intelligence you share with others! Gratefully, Helene Layton,songwriter
