Dvivid,
So, I am not sure that I want more sensitivity, as I respond to "daily life" with intense feelings and feel resulting feelings and sensations in much of my body.
More energetic protection would be very useful and healthy for me. From your comments, I am confused.
Often, out in the world, because of my sensitivity and intense responses, I find myself holding my breath, and chronic muscle tension in my shoulder blades and the front and back of my thighs, as well as my leg's calves. I remind myself to breath, but I often cannot "recover" until I get home, and can sit and focus on my Shen and Dan Tien.
What doe one do in the rest of the year, for qigong, if the eight pieces is mor limited to winter and mornings? And what works after work?
Lately, I found that when I remember to focus on flooding all my cells with bright
white light, my breathing, and mind becomes more regular and calm. I discovered this on my own. These days, since i got a cold recently, I am dealing a lot with "forgetting" as the Buddhists say, and this results in mental "fogginess", more limited present moment awareness, and body tension, as described above. Chinese Amoi massage does relieve much of this during the session and for a while, afterwards, then the forgetting and tension comes back. Some say that the closer a person gets to really letting go, desolving the
"ego" or small self, the more resistance there is from our egos, and that my be what I am "dealing with", and it is very physically discomforting with a lot of internal and negative feelings, judgments, and thought toward my self and
others. Some say this basic fear is related to a deeply held fear of non-existance, or the fear that we/I really let go of my 7 interferences,, I will fing myself alone in the wide universe, I made an agreement in one of those radiient experiences with the TAO that I would bring tjght to these Chinese people
The 8 Pieces of brocade are recommend to by only practiced in the A.M.
And it is orientated to healing hie yin internal organs. So what to pracice for health and stress relieve in the afternoon or in the spring and summer.
What sets like tis classic and be done at the other time of the day, or released tension.
So what is good in summer, as it is not recommended in the Summer?
The way of love is not a subtle argument.
The door there is devisation.
Birds make great sky circles of their freedom
How do thay learn it.
they falling and falling,
They are given their wing

Thanks in part to your previous help and recommendations I have just received in the mail Dr. Yang's DVD of the 8 Pieces of Brocade. I have practiced it a few times, and it certainly does relieve my mental fogginess, muscle tension, in improve blood circulation all over, especially to my legs, which are often cold lately. My heart felt thanks to Dr. Yang for his open, and expert teaching of this Qigong. I would highly recommend this DVD to anyone.
Best regard,
James
P.S. I have an appointment to meet a direct disciple of G.Master Feng and his Chen Hunyan Xing Yi Tai Chi. I am looking forward to meeting him in the morning, I lke what I read about what he has combined in the training from the beginning. I do not just want to learn a form anymore, enough!
