Dear Master Shi Heng Yi. Thank you for this new series about Shaolin QiGong practise. I very much respect your way of teaching it. Deep inside I feel this is the missing link to find a balance between the physical, the emotional and the spiritual aspect in my life. Thank you very much. You are an inspiration and I would like to go on my Qigong journey under your guidance and hopefully meet you personally one day in your temple in Germany. All the best to you. Peace out.

[@vassilisbournias3152]

Dear Shi Heng Yi, THANK YOU for sharing these important words with us! I have been training Shaolin gong fu for more than 10 years both external and internal, also traveled in Dengfeng and stayed in Fawang Temple in 2009 for a couple of weeks for training. Most of the principles you mention have been revealed to me through practice, but our Sifu never talks about them and although they say "you have to find your own way through practice", a few key words and explanations are very important so that you realize that you are heading in the right direction. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Regards from Greece!

[@jeremywhitten6031]

THANK YOU! MASTER SHI HENG YI! I LOVE YOU

[@tomaslemos1792]

thank master SHI HENG YI FOR YOUR LESSON TO THE LIFE ...SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH BUT IT ONLY IS BASIC AGAIN THANKS AND MY NAME IS JOANA ( AND MY AGE : 66)

[@andrewg8888]

I have been practicing Yi Jin Ying and Ba Duan Jin, and I love it. The balance is so evident compared to so many other martial arts. The interesting thing is that slower concentrated movements are actually more difficult and require a more intense level of concentration. Thank you. Your training is so awesome.

Dear Master Shi Heng Yi, I love all of your videos and am have been studying and learning Qigong all during Covid. Your teaching is without compare, your explanations are so clear and logical, I listen to them over and over again. Each time I learn something new. Thank you so much for these Teaching Series and providing us with these remarkable lessons. I feel the benefits already and will try to increase my practice as you suggest. Many thanks again, 🙏🙏❤️😀❤️

[@TommyTomG]

Thank you! I'm really excited about this new series. Thank you for bringing it to us :)

[@livingmindfully8178]

Master Yi, I am really enjoying your videos. I feel, however, I am missing a lot in watching them because there is no time spent focusing on where the tension, the pushing, and the relaxation occurs in the movements in the recorded videos. The videos tend to just show the movements. I have received benefit already, but it could be much more, I think. Thank you. 🙏

[@jackiecorreira8477]

Thank you for explaining. I see so many people at my park or around doing what they think is Qi Gong and that only doing the one aspect thanks 🙏 I knew it was something more to it to balance this energy and biggest part tension love the explanation just like yoga everyone thinks they can but it so much more when you get the right fundamentals 🙏

[@alejandroungaro4488]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TEACHING!!! 🙏

[@frankbrown4780]

I suppose we need to take ownership of our tension, or else our tension will take ownership of ourselves. We seem to constantly be told to relax and, although years ago I found I could learn to relax by purposefully creating tension first, it never occurred to me that tension itself could be beneficial in other ways. We learn the correct way to be relaxed, but we don't learn the correct way to be tense.

[@jasonmusic3]

Thank You 🙏🏾 Thank You 🙏🏾 Thank You 🙏🏾! I understand that for a long time this wisdom was not made public so I am filled with joy over your teaching and willingness to help us. So again I say Thank You 🙏🏾

[@sakurapink5628]

This music is so beautiful. I love it too much. It is precious. It harmonizes with the excellence of master Shi Heng Yi who speaks judiciously... My question is about knowing, by a very simple daily example, how to know if we are more of a tiger or a sheep. A message on the video regarding the subject but people are not the type to give answers, so, I write it here...

[@sambhavi16]

Thanks

[@bahargok7621]

Thank u so much Sensei

[@nicolaskenyon2550]

Sorry to day that I do not like to correct people I know what you mean however you say Sifu ! Have a blessed day

[@erik-andrehegna6654]

When you tense ur muscles in a movement, are you supposed to tense your whole body from toe to top? Or just the muscles you need for the movement?

[@ShiHengYiOnline]

Erik-Andre Hegna You tense everything that is necessary in order to strengthen the posture that you want to improve.

[@vanphan7727]

I really like your videos is there a way to use Chi to help mobility problems if so can you share it with us thank you

[@hippyskin6490]

Great channel 😁

[@sequoiaravenmoon]

If there are areas that are tight, like shoulders for instance, and the arms are weak, then does one channel the tension from the shoulders to the hands to balance the energy?

[@shortsJeongJiaecanal]

I Love work What do I do Tjank you

[@נאדר-ש4ז]

What is the purpose of tensing?

[@victorveliz7245]

could you please put spanish translation

[@sakurapink5628]

I am disappointed that Master Shi Heng Yi does not want to respond personally to messages on the comment pages. He could answer at least a few of them. Me, I'm just an ordinary person but now, at 38 years old, in total and constant solitude for several years due to my context and even elsewhere when I move, my shyness will still deprive me of friends. This is a real problem even in the city for people who are really shy. Pity and compassion are required. But what is the solution? That I move to Chinatown to talk to a saleswoman who is a fan of Zhou Shen?

[@user-wy2ld3ep6w]

師父可以看到中文嗎

[@julienrizzi8761]

Hello, is practicing without any tension could be a step to learn moves and positions ? Until the body is strong enough to tense...

师父好，所以我理解这就是佛家说的轮回，太极图的循环... 对吗？

[@richardwells3427]

Thank you Master for this clear explanation. However, I am a bit confused, as my training until now has been on the value of relaxation so that the qi can move freely through the ligaments and attachments( to achieve Sung... relaxation) ?

[@ShiHengYiOnline]

Sung is the foundation for the ability to mobilize.

My custa mucho

[@jiangge]

Do you hold your breath when you are holding tension? For Baduan Jin, while holding each posture, can you breath, or only breath during relaxation. Thank you.

[@RubenVenema]

I think you often breath out when tensing in baduan jin

Soundtrack

[@vickydal]

Please forgive my ignorance but Shifu says something and the subtitles are an adaptation of what he says - to my opinion a very unsuccesful and intrusive adaptation. He expresses every nuance in the clearest kung-fu terms, his words are as exact as can be and we read a nerdy grammar-ish rendition of his speaking. Is this a google-translate thing?
