Balancing the Heart: Shuxin PingXue Gong with Sam Masich looks like a conversion from an early 90s video. Lots of excellent info, and it's obvious he put thought into what he'd share so viewers don't get overloaded, but still learn about qi, breathing, acupuncture points and meridians. This is not HD video, but that doesn't matter. The variety of angles make it easy to follow, and he comes in with instructions just when you need them.

Heart for The Holidays
Missed a few days of posting. No worries - this commitment is to Gi Gong practice, not to blogging. Because of a too early start to the day, I didn't get to Daisy Lee's wonderful Qi Gong. And after a busy day in the frazzle of the city, I felt like soothing myself by revisiting a Sam Masich DVD I'd let collect dust for too long.

I did the first few moves ( he suggests learning one move a day for 8 days - maybe it's a Hanukkah Gi Gong? :-) ), plus a few random bits like the ear massage which is fantastic. 20 minutes later my ears are still feeling ALIVE!! It's actually part of this video sample.

My Declaration
My 100 Day Practice road looks like this.
My commitment
I commit to a minimum of 20 minutes a day of Qi Gong: Daisy Lee's Radiant Lotus Qi Gong for Women (a.m.) and that old love of mine, Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming's series (p.m.). Any Qi Gong on top of this = the beautiful surprises encountered on any road trip!

My objectives
- internalize these two forms
- improve my Wuji stance
Treading the precipice?
Sifu warned about overcommitment. Will books tip the balance? I'm thinking no, so I'm also committing to reading The Healing Art of Qi Gong by Master Hong Liu. 306 pages over 100 days? Doable. Taking on Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming's The Root of Chinese Qigong: Secrets for Health, Longevity & Enlightenment? That would be pushing it!
Marking the milestones
I have a theory that having milestones at the 25, 50, and 75 day mark will urge me on to 100. So on these days - i.e. on or about Saturday January 5, Wednesday Jan 30, and Sunday Feb 24 - I plan to celebrate my achievements by getting together with friends and sharing Qi Gong with them.
The arrival
I don't know if monks of old had a party to celebrate meeting their vows :-) Who knows? And this is now. So a Qi Gong and tea party is in the works for on or around Thursday, March 21. I didn't realize til counting out the days that e.t.a. will be the first day of spring. Sweet!
One day down, 99 to go!
Thank you, Sifu, for the inspiration and guidance.
