Hey guys, The following is a link to a web article on a simple YSB qi gong\ dao yin set.at the bottom of the page there is a link to developing blood, tendon and muscle stregth. Unfortunately there are no pics or video. If anyone is interested I can work on video to go with the text. Andrew nugent-head was kind enough to walk through them with me. www.bagua-zhang.info/simple-qigong-meditations |

Thanks for the link.
Dr. Xie had taught us this Five movement Daoyin in the high mountains of Colorado. People were already getting altitude sickness but he wanted to help them and prevent more cases by having us do these every morning. #3 was a bit different then what's written down. And there's a lot more about the sensations but still a good reference. The practice is a good one to do if you're not feeling up to doing martial stuff.
And great for getting the tangible feeling of qi in your hands within 1 to 3 days of practice.
Sak, a quick video of them would be helpful.
***
HJB's version of the 8 daoyin for restoring energy when practicing shocking strikes is what I would like to see again. I didn't take notes at the time because I figured it was the same one that Dr. Xie videotaped. It's almost totally different though as it's specifically for yourself not for learning how to be better at tuina and treating patients.
Anyone?

Unfortunately, I do dot not know the form for shocking recovery. I hope someone else can contribute!
I have had far more in depth TraiNing in dao yin for acupuncture, massage and self care.
I am incredibly excited to share what knowledge I do have in YSB Daoyin as I have had great instruction and have spent a good amount of time practicing the Daoyin side of things.
I do feel as though the dao yin exercises opens the door to "listening" to our opponents qi when hands meet. I do not have a lot of experience with this as I do not get to train 1 on 1 very often. But I think once developed, it is a very subtle yet important aspect of our art.
Generally the Qi exercise takes 10- 15 minutes and it's a great meditative way to begin the day and get some tangible qi flowing.
I'll try to get the practices up ASAP so everyone can get to play around with another side of this deep and amazing art that we practice.
The blood development forms will best coincide with martial training and I think the Beijing crew can help clarify some points if I May falter.
An afterthought is that as long as you keep to general form with standing exercises, you will cultivate and strengthen your practice as a whole. I understand the hesitation about learning these exercises through video and text, but fortunately the bulk of us here have a strong foundation in the basics of YSB and we understand that if it does not feel right we are probably doing it incorectly and if it feels wrong we should check our posture.
I will try to give the best instruction possible for those interested and luckily we have an open forum to keep us all in check.
Thanks for your interest!
