I din’t think of it when I started to follow your articles. I searched a little bit of Qigong in Youtube with others teachers, but what you say make sense to me (as in yoga, I had 7 or 8 teachers, everyone had his technique).
I really need a change and the only one who can give me that is myself, maybe my first aim is Willpower. Looking for the next 101 course.

Would wanting to achieve the highest level I possibly can (for martial arts and spiritual cultivation) and to become a better person with the potential of helping others/teaching if I achieve a high enough level be good goals or is it not specific enough?

All of your articles are clear, educational, and a joy to read. Being a prolific reader, I hope to read all of your articles some day. Keep writing them and I will keep reading them!

Unbeknowest to me, I achieved my goal of learning 5 Animals Play Qigong before I knew it. I had taken your Zen Flowing Online Seminar back in March and I had been practicing the 5 Phase Routine religiously since. It was not a problem making it a habit since I’ve been exercising for at least 30 minutes a day just before running off to work for more than a year now. But to make a long story short, I thought at first that I perhaps I was actually moving myself and my body not actually moving me. Then on April 19, my body began to flow more. Not only were my legs moving but my arms started moving too! Not only that, my movement became more and more vigorous–extremely so! This was not at all exhausting but pleasing. That is to say that my body could go all out effortlessly–perhaps that’s why martial artists of the past could fight for hours on end without getting tired as your ex-teacher indicated in one of his books. Anyway, since that time, my body has set me to dancing, shaking, and having extremely hot hands to my discovery upon washing my face in the closing sequence of the 5 Phase Routine. Didn’t mean to be long, but I thought that I should share my experience with community. The Flowing Zen 101 Seminar is worth its weight in gold!

Hi Bernhard. Yes, I think that counts! Greetings from Florida!

Does learning for the FCE (First Certificate in English) belong to the Mind Training category? Or shall I name a new one? Because of its none chi kung character.

By the way thanks for sharing your knowledge this article helped me a lot so far.

With shaolin greetings from Austria
Bernhard

Great job, Jeff! Personally, I think that quality trumps quantity. You can work up to a 10 minute horse stance, but after that, I would keep it at 10 minutes and instead try to increase the quality. So you stay at 10 minutes, but you try to go deeper, relax more, clear the mind more, etc. In a few months, you’ll feel that 10 minutes in the horse stance is a completely different experience than it was before.

I just wanted to let you know that I reached my goal of five minutes! Thanks for this article as it kept me on track for obtaining a five minute horse stance. I was just curious to hear what you recommend for length in horse stance? I remember my old tai chi chuan instructor recommended 30 min for postures!
