thank you all

I have learned a lot from this thread

another thing, bamboo leaf (and I mean this with the utmost respect) is I would be very interested to read about yourself, if you have a myspace or something similar, or let me know what school you come from etc.. as you seem very knowlegable and seem to have always been in the right place in terms ...

bamboo leaf: thankyou for your responses. I have read a few threads now where you have made a contributtion, and although I sometimes find them quite confusing - whether it is down to my admitted inexperience, or just because I was never any good at cryptic crosswords! - they always seem to say what...

hi all, thought i'd post this link, dont know if any of you have seen it before. I keep reading how appreciated it is when these links pop up, so I thought i'd contribute. Still relatively new to tai shi, so i am interested in any commentary keep up the good threads! http://video.google.com/videopla...

Many thanks to all of you for your reples. I have put a lot of thought into everything you all have said, but I think the most helpful thing came from chris: 'The kind of exercise you describe is more practically useful for the listener than for the pusher.' This now makes a lot of sense to me. As a...

Another good analogy I just though of:

Chi is a bit like wind, you can't see it until it hits something!

Hi all! I told you I would keep you all updated on my progress, so here I am. I have recently gone 'back to the drawing board' and have made a discovery - perhaps minor, but none the less very significant to me! - about chi sensetivity. During meditation, I have started to try and actually NOT think...

Hello, can I first say how much I am enjoying posting my questions here. I feel very confident of all advice that I recieve. My new query is this: I was recently at my class (I have only been going for a few weeks). when we started doing chi exercises. However, I was completely confused with one of ...

thanks audi, thats great advice. and kalamondin, dont be hurting yourself on my account!

Thank you kalamondin, may I ask how long you have been practicing tai chi for? do you practice the condensing breathing now? what does it feel like? did you find once you had learned to relax, that the book was helpful in it's instruction. Ha ha, I know, I'm just a bit of an eager-beaver!! I will pr...

thanks to both of you for your advice. anderzander, i will do as you say, and just concentrate on what I am being taught, instead of trying to get ahead of myself instead of being an expert overnight. I can see that this makes sense now shugdenla, thanks for you comment, i have moved from my old sty...

Thank you very much for that. One basic question, When practicing the yang form, or any other form for that matter, should every in breath be a 'condnensing breath' in order to realease the jing at the out breath. I'll probably be answering my own question be saying that I understand that there is a...
