Thank you for your comment. Very nice to meet you. 🙏 Based on our experience, I would say there are many different sets of exercises, variations and styles of Qigong which are called - 'Hui Chun Qigong'. We should look at Taoist Qigong as a very large tree - there are many different branches - but one common root. Different Teachers and different Lineages often practice different versions or styles of the movements. As far as I know, there is no formal standard of Hui Chun Qigong Practice. By my learning, generally the various styles are split into two groups - Huashan Mountain Style which is said to be the origin of the practice and later the Wudang Mountain branch. It is taught that Hui Chun Qigong spread to Wudang from Huashan through the practice of Cloud Wandering by the Huashan Taoists. Our Hui Chun Qigong Practice comes from the Lineage of Master Xu Shaoyuan. Master Xu was a Senior Quan Zhen - Dragon Gate Taoist who grew up and was trained in Pre-Communist China on Wudang Mountain by his father - who was a Senior Taoist Priest. During the Cultural Revolution Master Xu’s father sent him to the QingCheng Mountains in Western China to reside in deep seclusion under apprenticeship with an Accomplished Taoist Inner Alchemy Master - further deepening Master Xu’s Taoist learning. Our Hui Chun Qigong Practice is a wonderful legacy of Taoist Longevity Qigong from the tradition as passed down to us from Master Xu. While Master Xu was a highly accomplished Taoist - he taught very few students and was not well known in the public. ☯

@ImmortalArtsAcademy lovely to meet you as well. I really love your practice, and I can see a lot truth in your great practice. I am very glad that you took the time to explain the lineage and history of the Hui Chun Qi Gong practice. Interesting it is for me, as I have also trained through the Xuan Wu Pai and ZhuangSen (Quantsen) lineage as well at Hua Shan and Wudang Shan. I thank you for all and for your intersteing beautiful practice that you do and share . Xie xie..

🙏 Very welcome my brother. May your practice bring wonderful benefits. ☯

Look forward to seeing you online and practicing together... ☯

Thank you... ✨🙏✨

Thank you.... 🙏

@ralfstofer8609 - Thank you very much. Yes - we plan to build more here on our KZbin channel in the future. Yes - Reversed Breathing has three different stages and applications of use in general - Reversed Breathing is very misunderstood in how to perform properly often. I can only say I was very lucky to have had Talented and Accomplished Teachers who shared much with me - I feel I am only a very small expression of the Greatness that my Teachers embodied. Happy to connect here.... 🙏

@ralfstofer8609 - I would say it is relative and changes the longer one practices - fundamental movement drills such as the 'Four Powers' - rise / drill / overturn / fall - need to be trained in combination with a program of 'Standing Meditation' - the Standing Meditation will cause changes to the physical structure and the soft tissues in the body - which will allow for a different unified connection within the pathways of force that travel from the legs, into the waist, and express through the arms -- my advise is to not overcomplicate the practice and to invest in repetition - the change and development is a compounding process that takes place over time. We plan to offer an intensive online training course this year in 'Hsing Yi Neigong' - it will be a very deep and complete offering.... be on the look out....☯

@@ImmortalArtsAcademy Thank you very much!!!

You are welcome. Thank you for following our teachings... 🙏

Yes - many ancient cultures have wonderful examples of natural wisdom, especially the Ancient Greek Culture - the special contribution of the Taoist Culture in Ancient China is their research that led to understand the method and process of developing Qi - Life Force Energy internally - this was called the 'Inner Elixir - the science of Developing the Inner Elixir and gaining Harmony with Nature is perhaps the greatest contribution for the World from Taoist Culture...

Thank you so much. Welcome to our channel.

Thank you. Yes - this follows the principle of Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing practice. We hope you may enjoy...

Thank you for your question. It is not easy to try and learn from a video. Best is to learn in person or in a real time lesson. My advise is to take one practice you like and feel attracted to from our KZbin videos - and perform that sequence daily for a minimum of 100 days or longer - do the same practice everyday.... This repetition of a single practice sequence is the first steps to understanding your body and the process of developing Internal Strength.... There are many details on breath training and use of the mind that can only be taught in person - so when learning from a video, realise there can be some limitations in learning and development..... Wish you all the very best in your practice....

Thank you for your question. The first stage of development is Transformation of the Physical body - this is important to understand and focus on in the beginning. Practicing with the monthly or yearly cycles must be applied and introduced by the Teacher with the correct timing based on observing the students growth and inner development. One of the first and simple applications around time can be to practice during one or all of the 'Four Periods of Observation' during the day. These Four Periods are - 5:00am - 7:00am // 11:00am - 13:00pm // 17:00pm - 19:00pm // 23:00pm - 1:00am --- this is a first step in Inner Alchemy Practice to begin to attune and harmonise with the change of Yin and Yang in the day - and begin the Cultivation of the Inner Elixir. We wish you the very best in your Practice....

@@ImmortalArtsAcademythank you for the response to this question, as I was rewatching the video for this answer. Ive been following all the eating habits talked about here for over a year now & intuitively gave up wheat and gluten a few months back and has helped my practice and lightness. I do have coffee in the afternoon before I break-fast. Is this okay? (Sorry for long winded question)

@@andrews7414 - Generally it is viewed that coffee has a stimulating effect and most Taoist I spent time with avoid coffee. A good substitute can be green tea or a Pu Er Black tea - both have caffeine - but do not seem to have much adverse effect on long term practice. Wish you the best in your journey... 🙏

Thank you. Yes - we have a complete teaching of the entire sequence of 9 movements in our online program - Living Tao - please take a look here - www.immortalarts.org

@@ImmortalArtsAcademy thank you so much 🙏

You are very welcome. Sending our very best to you.... ✨🙏✨

Thank you...

@sumi8681 - There can be many different physical experiences and energetic sensations one can have with regular practice. Often trembling and shaking can be a sign of the nervous system releasing stored tension -- also trembling and shaking can be from the use of the smaller connective muscles which are not normally used in daily life. When meridian channels begin to open, there can be a lack of strength internally - so as energy begins to circulate, one may experience trembling, shaking and a quality of vibration. As one changes the body through practice, many feelings and quality may arise - the important point is to progress slowly, and with a steady nature - allow the body and mind to change gradually. Slow, steady and regular practice is the key. Wish you all the best, and good luck with your daily practice.

@@ImmortalArtsAcademy thank you so much master for your kind explanation. I have stopped practicing out of fear as lately I am beginning to feel less energy in my left leg where the shaking occurs. Morever the last few days my whole body is feeling very unusual the top of it is the nervousness I am feeling throughout the whole day.

@@sumi8681 - It is important we understand the patterns and habits we have with our emotions - and we slowly transform our negative emotional patterns into States of Positive Virtue such as faith, stillness, compassion, kindness, gentleness, courage, openness and so on.... We can begin with Faith - we can use our logic and reason to understand that gentle stretching, breathing and movement will over time have a healthy effect to our body, state of health and life -- so we should not ever have fear in regards to practice -- slowly make changes, slowly practice a little every day, eat healthy foods, and develop a Positive Mental Attitude - and so much goodness may develop with all aspects of our life. Wish you the very best in your practice and in your life....

Dear Eva - thank you.....! Keep peace in your Heart and happiness in your life.... 🙏

Yes - you may practice the movements much slower and with more concentration of mind.

Dear Guillaume - thank you for your message. We are now organising a Live Online Training in 2023 - detailing the complete practice of Taoist Inner Alchemy. This will be a series of 10 Live lessons - we will teach in a highly structured manner, in order to give a very clear understanding -- each lesson will be archived for future viewing of the students. We have not announced the program yet - but please keep on the lookout on our homepage - www.ImmortalArts.org - we will be putting up the notice on the website and also the blog area. In learning Taoist Qigong - the first step is attaining and moving through the progressive levels of Taoist Longevity Breathing - Second is refining shape and form and transforming the physical - at this stage the mind will bind to the physical form at times, then also bind to the Breath - but there is a separation still.. Third we may think of gaining and entering into a Unification of the Breath and Form - Mind unifies with both form and breath at this stage - and one may gain many unique experience such as Unification with Nature. I am sorry I am not organized yet in my public offerings - but we also give private lessons online for serious students. Please contact us through our website if you have any questions. Sending all my very best. Sincerely, Jesse
