Does anyone have any suggestions for how to progress with Qigong practice and self-study?
For example, I have started with the sitting 8 pieces of brocade and am gradually learning the standing set. What are the next logical exercises to learn and practice?
I was thinking of getting the embryonic breathing meditation to add to what I am currently doing. Or should I stick with the 8 pieces for a while and then add the embryonic breathing later? Or would the small circulation be better to learn first?
How about study? Is The Root of Chinese Qigong: Secrets of Health, Longevity and Englightenment a good place to start?
I know I should (and will) spend a lot of time with the 8 pieces alone and I don't want to try to do too much and not learn the forms properly. But I am the type of person that likes to have a plan and know what's coming up next and why.
I appreciate any comments and suggestions.
