8 Pieces Brocade with Vivien Chao (Music: Five Elements)

[@mariojimenez345]

I loved how each movement is represented with nature with a brief image... that way you can mentally imagine what you are representing in each movement and know which part of the universe you represent. Thank you.

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

Wow! You have such a great eye for detail! 🙏😊👍

[@katsujinkin60]

What a treasure these videos are!. How I wish they had been available when I was young, but I grew up, and lived half my life in an analog world. I will soon be 72 years old, and my new mantra has become, "Better Late Than Never"! Thank you, Sifu!

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

I'm delighted that you enjoy them! It's so true that "Better Late Than Never"! Thank you for generously sharing your experiences and wisdom with us in this Qigong community! 🙏😊

It is as the flow of energy surpasses the body, by the negative energies flowing out into the earth and the upwards stretch regaining alignment with the universal positive energies. Am I right in my explanation?

[@dagomagic1000]

Hi @VivienChaoTaichiQigong , Thank you for sharing wisdom, One question please , Is it better to have our eyes open or closed for qigong practice? Should Keep our Eyes open or closed in Qigong ? Thanks in advance

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

When you enter a meditative state, it's natural for your gaze to gently lower. However, in a classroom setting, if you require visual guidance from your teacher or classmates, or need to stay aware of your surroundings, it's completely acceptable to keep your eyes open. Nevertheless, in the Eight Pieces of Brocade, specifically in the movement known as "Punching and Glaring" (攢拳怒目增氣力), it is essential to have your eyes wide open and filled with intensity.

Очень нравиться мне делать этот комплекс. Очень красивое видео, замечательная учительница и очень хорошая музыка. Позволю себе дать маленький совет - желательно чтобы всегда было видео в полный рост и вид со спины. Это может быть картинка в картинке (например в правом верхнем углу). Видео у которых это есть выигрывают потому, что существенно облегчают обучение. Спасибо. Желаю Вам успехов в вашем очень нужном деле!

Thank you again for sharing your Qigong practice. I've been doing Eight Pieces of Brocade many years, but I have not seen it this beautifully done before. I look forward to practicing with you. I'm just wondering about the number of repetitions, 6, 9? I'd love to see this where you do all repetitions so I could practice with you at the same pace. I love the choice of music with it; usually I don't like other music choices with this form. I appreciate you.

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

Thank you for your encouragement. I'm very happy you enjoy practicing with me! I wrote the music many years ago, and I'm thrilled you like it! There is no specific number of repetitions to follow. In the Taoist tradition, the numbers 3, 6, and 9 are frequently used. For shorter practice, 3 to 5 repetitions per movement are usually good. If you prefer more repetitions, 6 to 8 is effective. Sometimes, 9 to 12 repetitions are nice if you have more time. 😃🙏

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

[@AsdfHandle]

Thank you for this demonstration! I have a question regarding the number of repetitions for each movement: Do we need more repetitions, or is the number you have demonstrated enough?

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

This is a short demonstration. You can maximize its effectiveness by slowing down the pace and incorporating more repetitions during practice. 👍🙏😊

[@AsdfHandle]

@VivienChaoTaichiQigong Thank you for your reply! 🙏 I have noticed that in your Shibashi video, the number of repetitions varies between 6 and 10. Is this number also recommended for this practice? Apologies if this is a well-known information, but I am a complete newbie in this area, and I practice by following videos and what has been shown there. Thank you!

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

I love your question. The counts are just general ideas. Although in the ancient culture the numbers of 3, 6, 9, 12… are often used in practice for their auspicious associations (same as 8, 10, 108…), the ultimate guide would be the wisdom of your own body. 😊🙏

Giusti i commenti, più che giusti. Il tuo eseguire accarezzato dal lieve vento ed il sole. Non so se alba o tramonto, diversa è l'energia espressa ed assorbibile da esso. Ma io che sono un curioso ed amante del tuo fare. Ti chiedo, con profondo rispetto, quanto riesci ad ottenere da questa misteriosa energia di connessione. Fa che anch'io scopra, non i tuoi profondi segreti, ma una vera connessione. Sempre un grande inchino alla tua manifesta bellezza .
