The Set Contained is this video is based of Traditional Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan. It uses selections from Tai Chi and is repeated several times. It is a very good set & if you use the Natural Qigong Breathing Method as described below it is perfect for the times we live in.
Natural Qigong Breathing practice helps to move congested energy and allow the body to get rid of it by creating different internal vibrations and pressures within different parts of the body through the inhaling and exhaling of air. In other words, when you perform the exercises and do the respiration, we are giving the internal organs a good massage to expel stale energy aka life qi.
The key is inhaling through the nose when possible and exhaling softly through the mouth. This breathing method is not described on the tape; so this is a added feature. So here is the breathing directions: Arm/body Movements that rise: inhale Arm/body Movements that descend: exhale Arm/body movements that go left: inhale Arm/body movements that go right exhale Arm/body movements that go backwards: inhale Arm/body movements that go forward: exhale All movements should be softly strung together likened to be moving underwater.
Everything is done calmly and patiently. Follow all parts of the tape and eventually get away from the tape and practice with music you like and try to build each part in repetitions of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18. If you are sick with covid19 try the first three exercise in groups of three.
This is a very easy set . Before the movement practice try chair style qigong meditation (non conceptual) just relax and focus on interior peace.
*At the end of the set there is a part known as La Chi - emit chi for yourself use everyday breathing; then later switch to natural qigong breathing.
