Haha,

Not yet!

For those translating, can you do what you are translating?
Just wondering.

Three rings of qi that surround the hips, waist and shoulders. Their use in the exercises are effective and in addition allow more fluid accurate movements. · Form a bell. Imagine the body as a bell, divided into 5 points: 1. The hoop that maintains the bell. Which corresponds to the neck. Is movabl...

(What is your attention on in pushing hands? ) not on myself not on the other, I try to make myself as empty as possible. In this way before the other can use their jin or li I can hear / sense their intent and lead this before their jin/li reaches me. From your other post: Wei Shuren (I said, so I ...

I really hope I do not come across that way, I try and offer some sharing based on my own experiences and listen or read others, nothing more.

My answer was in response to Yuri’s question. (So, what is the mechanism?) I view it more of a process where by one fist understands what is meant by qi, yi and shen and then operates off of that understanding, refining it as one develops and is exposed to others of higher level.) this was in respon...

I found your question really quite hard to answer, so much depends on ones own level and contact with others of higher levels working on the same ideas.... For me I think the most important point is to understand that the mind touches something first followed by the qi and finely by the body. The bo...

Haha, your right there probably there feeling good about life. (So, what is the mechanism?) I view it more of a process where by one fist understands what is meant by qi, yi and shen and then operates off of that understanding, refining it as one develops and is exposed to others of higher level. I ...

(The only question, imo, is "why" does it happen or what makes it happen? This eternal debate has always been about the causes, not the effects.) the explanations have been provided in accordance with the masters who can do this theories, based on an understanding and the reality of their ...

(Some people want to believe so badly that they will make it happen. They'd rather act like it is happening than have to admit that it isn't. The students of people who claim they can do these things often do get thrown around, because they want to be. That way their Masters skill is proven and they...

(So I am in full agreement with the cooperative aspect because it is a good show.)

if taiji is never against another what would not be cooperative? How could it be uncooperative or resisting. The dynamic of taiji is that it needs another to react with, something to join with.

Its good to have skepticism, but also to remain open. I think anyone of you could do some of what is shown and more depending on experience and training level. Sometimes its hard to see how or why something is happening if one only focuses on the what is happening. look again at some of what is happ...

My only point is that unless one wrote from experience how would one address it. to say that either the people are faking, induced or what ever, how does one make such statements with out the experience. Not just here but on many boards it’s the same. I never really understand this. I write from exp...

(But, as DP suggested, it is "possible" that some of the demonstrations that we've seen have been faked. Or, are you saying that that would not be possible?) I don’t know what the point of faking some thing would be, all demos are kind of set up to demo a certain point or idea. What I aske...

So what is not possible?

Do some reading on wave interactions and wave dynamics, this should provide a sense of what must happen for this to be possible.
