Episode 3- Crossing the Threshold with Awareness and Intention

So far we have worked with Breath and Structure. Then in the second episode we combined Breath and Structure creating a synergy. This synergy is the basis for internal practice but it is not itself an internal practice. To get into internal practices such as QiGong, TongBei also called HeYiTongBei or TuiShou also called push hands we must cross a threshold.

We cross this threshold by adding two important elements to the synergy we have already worked on. These elements are Awareness and Intention.

In this podcast we add these elements and cross the threshold into internal practice.

*video note - during the course of filming the video the sun crept into the shot, covering my face and shirt with some strong white light. In the spirit of these internal practices and for continuity in this video I kept filming. I hope you don't find the light distracting and I hope you can also take this as an example of being able to deal with things that can pop up during your own practice, sun, rain, people talking etc.
