I have been doing the brocade for about a year and began doing stake standing about 6 months ago. I have been overwhelmed by how much the standing has improved all aspects of my self. Standing qigong is truly a hidden gem that should be enjoyed by everyone.
Each day I seem to grow and learn more and more about chi flow and my body, inside and out.
I have also began to really take great notice of nature, mainly plants and trees. I cannot help myself now-a-days. I almost always have to stroke the leaves of plants and trees when I walk by them. It is not just the inside of my palms but the back of my hands really enjoy the experience as well. I do not really have any sense of chi flow from the plants, but I suspect that is coming down the road... Does anyone else find themselves doing this? Or am I an odd ball?
