01. Extreme Emptiness
02. Pushing the Mountain
03. Wild Goose Flying
04. Diagonal Flying
05. Palms Supporting Heaven
06. Yin and Yang Both Appear
07. Turning Palm
08. Ward Off, Pull Down
09. Hands Strum the Lute

Thank you for watching.

Wudang Qigong – Sets 1, 2, and 3

Philosophy – I talked more about the idea of leaving what we don’t want and focusing on what we do want. That not becoming mired in what we don’t want, sets us free to do what we want. It’s not easy to break away. But to become who we want to be, it’s necessary.

This morning we paid attention to the idea of building strength, of developing the sense of placement that combined with the movement generates strength.

Each time as the body rises, paying attention to sinking and rooting. Each time as we push, paying attention to the idea that we are pushing a mountain and it will take great strength to do it.
