Hey , welcome to lesson 17!
This weeks pattern: Lohan Draws Sabre is a wonderful pattern. Warranting an 6 of the TOM scale. Not so much because it is technically difficult, but because it might take you a while to be able to clasp your hands together comfortably behind your back. You’ll see what I mean shortly.
It is brilliant for aching shoulders releasing tension and energetically opening the meridians in that area. It also stimulates all of the 8 Secondary or Wondrous meridians promoting harmonious energy flow and as a result can improve longevity.
Theory wise I’ll share 6 qualities you want to be looking for in your Qigong teacher (see the bonus document below this weeks written material). As it is my great hope that this home study course will have inspired you to decide to learn this incredible art directly from a suitably qualified instructor. As I’ve been saying all along, what you can learn directly from a good Qigong teacher is not comparable to what you can learn from a course like this. It’s like comparing a diamond with a beautiful piece of glass.
In order to complete this weeks lesson, just follow these 4 steps:
Step 1:
→ Watch the Videos
Step 2:
→ Download and read the written material for week 17 and remember to download and read the Qualities of a Great Qigong Instructor document as well.
Step 3:
→ Practice Lohan Draws Sabre – form only until you are so confident you know what you are doing, you can do it easily with your eyes closed. Only then practice it with the breathing. Remember the two golden words – relaxed and gentle.
Step 4
→ Complete the progress tracker for week 16.
Until next week enjoy your practice.
