E 9- Shower in the Golden Elixir QiGong (how to)

Shower in the Golden Elixir Qigong is a powerful qigong, that cleanses, relaxes and energizes.

This is a qigong I have not taught many people but I think it's potential value to you is enough that I want to share it with you all. Further lessons on this qigong are available at the www.theinternalconnection.com

This episode takes us into how to do this qigong with focus on learning how to do itcorrectly and well especially with body mechanics of the qigong and why they are important. You will be able to see the importance of body mechanics in this and any other moving qigong.



*look for a guided qigong practice featuring this and other qigongs we have done including tree qigong in the near future



please send any questions to me at michael@theinternalconnection.com

Taste of Class: Applications from the park

Taste of class are clips of lessons, some application oriented some fun, some insightful wisdom.


This "first taste of class" is about some fun from the end of a lesson, dealing with choke hold from behind internally and with out resistance. Student Rick was holding on quite hard but not a full blown attempt at choking, though he was holding hard enough to cut off blood and air. He did not hold on with all his might because he would have been hurt.

The more the choker holds, the more intent to do harm he/she has the more energy they put forth, that energy is returned to them and can hurt them very badly.



Please do not try this on your own without training.

This is not a demonstration of the potential power involved only a fun bit from a lesson (if fully done it is scary)

We have done many different versions of choke holds and locks, this is one we got on video.

Episode 7: Internal Martial Arts part 1

Internal martial arts are born from the same principles and movements as QiGong. These movements however have an expression of internal power which follows intention into martial expression. An Internal Martial art is a practice in which each and every movement and piece of a movement has that power readily being expressed.

Today we get into part 1 of internal martial arts.

Part 2 of the Internal Martial arts introduction will focus on the ancient and beautiful internal martial art of HeYiTongBei.

Feel free to ask questions and look for more internal martial arts content in upcoming podcasts,including demonstrations of the practice and application of the internal martial arts as well as movements you can learn to practice and do, right at home!

Update

Hey everyone,

The next podcast will be out very soon and with it a new podcast logo. The new logo is actually connected to the relaunch of a new improved website.

The website www.internalconnection.com has a new look and feel.

So be ready for the new site and next podcast this week!

little updates

The next podcast will be up soon, a bit of an intro into internal martial arts and HeYiTongBei in particular. This lesson is about 30 min long, there is some good info in it and near the end we get into learning the basic tongbei punch, though if you watch the whole podcast you will see it is anything but basic.

If you like what you see and want to learn more about the punch and other movements go on over to www.theinternalconnection.com where you will find step by step lessons in how to do what is in the podcast and more.

Also a bit of an update to the website... it is a bit more streamlined now, still some more to do... and it is now easier than ever to sign up to a guest or student account. No interviews required and a simple sign up process.


If you have any suggestions or questions for podcast subjects let me know I am looking forward to answering your questions and covering topics of interest!
