Flying Phoenix Chi Kung

Hope your right, wish i had stuck with that tai chi class i went to years ago.... was thinking of doing squats, but maybe your right and its tension or something.

Weird but i did DVD 3, so wide stance like bending the bows, and no shaking...although it felt like i almost would, when i did bending the bows earlier the shaking started before i did the breathing so i don't know guess my body needed to loosen up?

it comes and goes.  no biggie.  no rhyme or reason or pattern that i have seen.

people on this thread in general have noted the overall arc is that over time this decreases and goes away.

 

in my experience bending the bows generates the "strongest" flow.  To the point where i have had to limit how often i do it, and for how long, and during what part of the day.  It at times has felt like "too much" for me (not from the shaking, just from the "power" that bending the bows generates internally) so i just scaled it back and that has worked.  It is still my favorite part of Flying Phoenix Qi Gong

I'm new to this system, but so far I have found bending the bows to be epic, my favourite on volume 1. It is helping to realign my body quickly,  and I feel like I am in a new, more fluid state. I feel like I move as liquid after doing it, and my steps are lighter, like I feel I am almost floating when I cool down and walk afterwards.  I can't wait to see what the system holds after several months of practice.

Bending the Bows is the most intense practice of the system I reckon, just keep doing it and it will go away eventually.

EDIT: NVM found the answer to my question.

Only question I cannot find is: I know there is a 3 hour rule between FPCK and any other spiritual system.

What about lifting/going to the gym? I know immediately after doing FPCK, Terry suggests light activities like walking/cleaning.

After finishing FPCK,  after 90m passed can I go hit the gym without causing any conflict with the QI generates from the practice?

My normal morning routine is gym at 9:00AM

Right now I wake up about 6:30, and start FPCK around 6:50 and usually done by 7:20(still my first week so not trying to go crazy).

So if my session is over at 7:20 can I still hit the gym at 9am or do I have to wait till a minimum till 10:20?
