Tai Chi Qigong 18 Form (Shi Ba Shi) 太極氣功十八式 with Vivien Chao

[@johngore9353]

Thanks for the great relaxing tai chi. I am a 75 year old veteran and my goal for the fall is to stay alive. Your inspiration and what I need.

[@bobgrossman3548]

I'm a 73 year old veteran .. doing this video with you has done amazing things for my mind and body. Thank you so much .

[@BalanceForLife]

So glad to hear that and thank you for your service!

[@alex.y.z]

I must have been practicing watching this video almost every morning for a year or so. So I just wanna thank you for enlivening my days.

[@BalanceForLife]

Wow that means the world to us! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

Thank you!!

[@TheAbacusClub]

I have also been doing this everyday. It has been very beneficial. Thank you for sharing this to you and Vivian.

[@dr_ravindra_jayantmistry4423]

Amazingly beautiful+ medical miracles

[@preciousantonette9807]

How did you learn this flow? I want to learn it too

[@kayeclough1658]

Thank you for demonstrating this so beautifully, & without verbal instructions. I used to do this form 30 yrs ago, but when I moved on, there was no one to do it with. Over the years, (I'm 75yrs now) I'd forgotten each movement, & would love to do it again. So I was thrilled to come across this. I was enthralled. Thank you so much.

[@BalanceForLife]

So glad you're reconnecting to the 8 Brocades!

[@carolinemarie6858]

I love this video, love the music. Love that there is no instruction as I watch another video with instructions. Slightly different movements. Your movements are easier except the spinning wheel. She only does 3 times each side. I had a brain injury at birth so starting Qigong 3 months ago is helping.

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

Thank you for your kind words 🙏😊

[@piitee9652]

Thank you for sharing, your movements look beautiful and it feels so good practising with you ❤

I have watched a few videos on Tai Chi Qigong 18 Form. I just came across your demonstration video. I must say this is the best video on this 18 Form. It's so graceful and the flow is so smooth connecting 1 Form to the nest Form. Thank you so much for sharing. Awesome...!!!

[@esperanzarey2884]

Thank you master 🙏

[@olgacaske3436]

I was blessed to learnt this from chinese Master ,he is over 90 now, and practice it nearly all my life. Most important part breathing is not mentioned. When Master watches a student he observes how skilfully naturally you synchronise movements with breathing. Breath is Chi which is moved with a mind through movements. Master also taught what meridian to concentrate on where energy running and which finger to look at in each movement. I can see her gaze at the pointing finger, which is right, but this is not taught for the viewers. Better find a Master on KZbin who explains thoroughly not to learn with bad habits my Master's advice🌬🕊🛶🌚🌈🌊🙏

[@ioleromeo919]

Ho sentito le mie braccia come grandi ali di uccelli e le mie mani come le estremità delle ali. Ho provato sensazioni soddisfacenti. La saluto dalla calda Sicilia. Lei con questi esercizi pacati mi ha fatto sentire meno caldo e soprattutto mi sono sentita in armonia con il Creato. Sono Felicissima di avere fatto questo incontro con lei, bravissima ginnasta orientale. GRAZIE

[@andyyoung4864]

Thank you for this video. Just accidentally found it after following Master Wing Cheung for some time now. Yours is much clearer with the contrasting background and a closer camera angle. My inadequacy is the breathing technique as I have totally no idea when to breathe in and out. Please help.

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

I am happy that you find this video helpful! Our videographer Nate is simply amazing! The general rule about breathing is, as you are gathering in the energy, breathing in, as you are sending out the energy, breathing out. Rising, breathing in; sinking, breathing out. Sometimes, if you just relax into your body’s natural wisdom, the clarity will come effortlessly. 加油！👍😃

I absolutely love your style, the setting, and music. I have a question, before the punching I was surprised that we didn’t repeat the last 3 parts on our other side, with our other foot forward. Should we be doing that? I appreciate your response. And thank you again for sharing your beautiful practice with everyone! It is greatly appreciated!

[@VivienChaoTaichiQigong]

I am happy that you like the style, setting, and music. Thank you! Originally, this is only a video intended to demonstrate all 18 moves so the repetitions are being reduced to the minimum. For your own practice, please do both side! (Side 1: Becoming one, pushing the waves, flying dove. And then side 2: Becoming one, pushing the waves, flying dove.)
