Zhineng Qigong

for 100 days (Zhineng Qigong)
100 wall squats. although i've been doing chi-lel for over 3 years i've completed only one uninterrupted gong. although i have not had to face any major health challenge, the benefits i've received from chi-lel are too numerous to mention. i practice chi-lel nearly everyday. i'm hoping by logging my results i might better be able to track my growth. well, good luck and much chi to everyone in the chi community. and thank-you, jerry.

second day of gong. i don't feel as if i'm relaxing enough throughout my wall squats and i'm wondering to myself how different the results will be if i can get there. i'm still fighting both the technique and the patience needed. i love how i feel when i'm done, though. i'm still having that odd synchronicity with time, lately. it seems i'm always glancing at the clock and seeing 11:11, 1:11, 2:22 etc. i mean it's happening a lot! i'm sure it will pass. it's just uncomfortable to see it all the time and wonder if there's some meaning that maybe i'm missing out on. anyway, i think i'll take a clue from jerry's gong and do lots of haola hula for grounding. maybe that along with the wall squats would be good medicine. much chi to all!

Well, i am a third of the way through my wall squat gong and I'm feeling quite good about it. Still no headaches or back aches. My dispositiion is very relaxed and I'm feeling very grounded. I have noticed that there is something very profound happening. Yet, I can't exactly pinpoint what it is. I sometimes work with elderly people and have noticed that I am having a more calming affect on them (even the tough cases). Yet, again, it's nothing I could quantify. And neither does it seem in my conscious control. Or maybe I am just imagining the whole thing.
I must remember to enjoy what I'm doing.

added a nutrition program to my practice. I wonder how soon until i'll really feel the affects. It's a pretty radical change for myself, but I can see where I want to go with it. Lately, I've been spending more time with seniors (related to a part time job) who are in nursing homes. I never in my life thought that I could handle being around "those" places. Although it's very sad, and I've known many people who have died, it's inspiring me to continue my gong. My ability to deal with some very uncomfortable situations is amazing me. My compassion for
others is growing. My friends don't get it. They don't understand qigong. But I think anyone who has practiced qigong for a while understands that depth I'm talking about..

New gong: 100 wall squats, 15 mins+ Stretching chi/chan chi. First few days of stretching chi were exceptionally difficult but I had a break through last night. I kept telling myself that I love doing it and I love the way it makes me feel and it seems to make it much easier. I will try and build up to an hour again like before. This last gong was rather enjoyable and I'm looking forward to continuing the 100 squats per day.

ever since starting the stretching qi I've been getting these bad headaches. Today wasn't as intense. I'm sure I'm just going through a opening process. Also, I am getting sick after doing 20 minutes or more of cranes neck/dragon's horns. I just get a bit queasy for a spell. Yet overall I'm feeling great and I look forward to more and deeper benefits form qi gong.

Headaches gone now. Pain gone from stretching chi and now thinking of increasing time. Curiously, I find myself yawning when I start the stretching chi exercise. It lasts about 5 to 7 minutes. Also, strange tingling in my index finger on my right hand today and yesterday. Well, more of a vibration.

Not sure if it's related to the stretching chi exercise but I've noticed that my memory seems to be getting better. I'm seeing things clearly in my mind, especially numbers. Also, my golf game is better than ever since starting the stretching chi. I feel more fluid with less tension in my arms. Headaches still gone, but still having urge to yawn when I start the stretching chi.

I completed that gong but my heart wasn't into it much of the time. I'm hoping I'll come around and find that feeling of being absorbed in my practice. I miss feeling absorbed in the moment. I am going to continue the same gong and try to move my practice time to the morning. The stretching chi gong has brought incredible benefits and now I am actually looking forward to expanding that practice to both morning and evening. I also think I am going to wait until the spring before my next step up the chi ladder as I don't feel ready right now.

The weather is turning colder and usually my practice tends to wane. However, making a commitment to keep going. Have found myself wanting to go deeper but still missing having a group to practice with. Have been doing an excellent job of maintaining the jing energy the past month and a half and but I'm still unsure of how to properly cultivate that energy. Perhaps three centers merge would be a great gong to start.

Restarting my practice. I wish i had a group to practice with here because it is so much easier to stay motivated. 100 squats. I have to remember to read inspirational chilel stories to keep up my motivation.
