Well done!

I used to do form Tai chi and felt energy going through my body and stuff and I quit because it was physically uncomfortable to feel the energy leaving my body flowing through my body entering my body etc but I'll start again

[@SaveTheWhales5]

Thank you, this is helpful. I am always wondering, are there any milestones or markers that we can use to gauge our progress? Or do we just stand until we "get it"?

[@DiscoverTaiji]

And after you get it. The live corrections and confirmations of a teacher who has the skills is a must.

[@SaveTheWhales5]

@@DiscoverTaiji thank you. I would love to have that opportunity. I will try to attend the live workshop in Wilmington Delaware.

What is the recommended amount of standing practice one should do in the HME system? One hour per day? 5 times a week?

[@DiscoverTaiji]

the method is more important than the amount.

[@johnnemo6509]

I'm new to HME but have an excellent teacher. As a beginner I aim for 5mins per posture so 25mins a day. If I'm not struggling to do 5mins in a posture then I know I'm really not doing it at all.... just cheating myself . Even when I'm really struggling I know I'm still not doing doing it correctly. I've done a lot of taichi in the past mostly Wu and Yang styles and looking back at the practice of standing in one posture for 15mins or 30mins was for me a waste of time because now its clear I was not doing it properly. Like wise I used to do the 108 form 5 times a day. With the level of intensity the form is done in HME doing the 108 form would be unthinkable. I would focus on the quality rather than the time .... if you can find a HME teacher that will be a huge help....if not the online course is very good .....but having a teacher to adjust you is the best ...... whenever I think I'm doing 100% my teacher modifies my posture so I realize that my 100% was more like 70%....hard to do that without a teacher. Respect to all.

I don’t understand why some TaiJi schools don’t seem to do standing practice at all 🤔

[@ytb460]

10 years of standing then taichi, bagua or hsingyi. This is the traditional way. Standing is the education of the body, the alphabet. Then you choose a path and make words. All typical sayings in CMA.

no, from under

Money comes from honey. A cosy environment, no challenges, listen to the Guru, everything is so nice, no bitter, no sweat... ker-ching!

[@HolyChaoMu]

Come to a workshop, you'll sweat quite a bit

[@johnnemo6509]

Sure some people go to the seminar and just hang around but they won't get anything. For those people who are sincere in their training HME is very challenging its just a question if you are willing to push yourself to try to meet the teachers expectations. To quote a famous taichi instructor no pain no gain no burn no learn....HME is all about challenging yourself to do more than you thought you could. Respect to all.

@@tsaxondale2499 There's one coming up in June in Bucharest, I've not pushed with Adam myself but have with his senior students. Adam is apparently pretty hands on in his teaching and so there is a good chance you will get to feel him, if not his touching with his senior students is a great experience even if you don't get to try with Adam.
