Hey , welcome to lesson 21,
Our penultimate lesson together!
Originally this course was designed to last 6 months but after careful consideration I decided 5 was better. And as a result it means that this week only we’re going to be looking at, learning and practicing 2 patterns.
Pattern 16 is called Big Windmill Hand, a nice easy pattern deserving a 3 on the TOM scale. But don’t let it’s simplicity put you off, this pattern brings some heavyweight benefits. Pattern 17 is called Lift Heels Bend Knees, which is a brilliant explanation of what’s involved with this pattern. It gets a 7 on the TOM scale as it involves performing full squats on your tip toes!
It’s been a while since I practiced this pattern and, as you’ll see in the video, I’d forgotten just how lovely it is. It gives a great Qi flow when practiced as Qigong and has many worthwhile benefits.
No theory this week…
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 21!
Step 3:
→ Decide which of this weeks 2 patterns you prefer and practice it. Feel free to practice both, but only practice 1 pattern per Qigong session.
Step 4
→ Complete the progress tracker for week 20
Until next week enjoy your practice.
