Bit of a breakthrough day for me, with regards to the qigong and its relation to the Tai Chi. Three terms of reference for the Qigong:
1. It really has to work as qigong; I have to get the feedback that indicates that the internals are responding.
2. It has to stand independent of other qigongs, joint-loosening etc. It should not require additional imports as prep.
3. It has to relate directly to the Tai Chi form.
Based on this, I'm definitely on-track. At the moment I have a sequence of 15 movements / exercises, 2 of which are repeated. All are from the Tai Chi form. I'm already at the stage of refining transitions between sides, etc. The fundamental components are all in place.
Had a good session at Calvin today, and tested the material on Beth Weisberg, Peter Reist and his lady, Megan. As Sam Masich once said to me, "At a particular point, one really needs students to experiment on!" Yeah!
