Something changed in my #Yijinjing #Qigong session tonight, that I wasn’t expecting—although maybe I should have—for the first time, it triggered a mild euphoria not entirely unlike an overflow of #FireQi yet flowed out from my core more like #WaterQi

I wasn’t in any rush to move on to the next stage of the exercises at the 100 days mark, but it seems most correct to keep pace with the #Qi itself

Edit: just for reference, my 100 days for the first stage of training completed on January 27th; I’ve been maintaining the same practice these past few days anyway, because I find the mild euphoria an intriguing side-effect. Although now I should probably make a point to use it to start the second stage.

My #FireQi was already surging this morning before even starting #Qigong

So, knowing from experience that the #XingyiQigong set would only make matters worse, I went back to the very very basics and did a full regimen solely of #WaterQi focused forms and stances this morning instead

I’m still trying to remember all the different methods for converting #Qi between #Kan and #Li (and not having much luck searching online or my own library), but in the end I managed a very basic, entry-level #WindPath circulation, and that helped a lot
