Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi Set 2

This 18 form set is more physically demanding than Shibashi set 1 and therefore can be used to raise ones energetic levels. This set is also based on many of the Yang style Tai Chi forms and thus fits in extremely well with the overall theme of our teachings.

1    Regulating the qi
2    Leading qi along microcosmic orbit
3    Wind that blows the willows
4    Searching for the needle at the bottom of the sea
5    Fisherman casts the net
6    Immortal points the way
7    Mischievous boy kicks with leg
8    Holy crane worships the moon
9    Yellow dragon pushes out with claws
10    Pulling the bow to shoot the eagle
11    Dragons emerge from the sea
12    Crossing the wild blue ocean
13    Lion playing with ball
14    Embracing the moon at the dan tian
15    Phoenix spreads its wings
16    Punch tiger in the ears
17    Bringing the qi to the dan tian
18    Collecting the qi

Quote of the Week

"Second is mindfulness of feelings, it is at this stage that we work with the chi or fine material energy. The chi is most easily perceived through feelings and this path of practice helps one to bypass the common pitfall of relying on imagination and visualization of the internal energy as this can quickly become a fabricated fantasy rather than a direct knowing of reality in the present."
