DCHYL: Don't care how you look

The best and most effective qigong and physical exercises often look silly. If you care how you look, then you're going to miss out;.

buddha takes a stand basics

100% weight on one leg means: even if the other leg is making contact with the ground, if you were to lift leg slightly so there's no ground contact, your body would not move, no shifting of weight occurs because you're already 100% body weight supported on other leg.

70%/30% split: Each leg weights about 30% of your body weight. So 70/30 split means most of your weight supported on one leg, the other leg supports its own weight. But if you were to lift the 30% leg off the ground and hold, your body position would have to shift.

8.5"x11" paper: is a general guide for orientation between heel of one foot to the other heel for optimal stability in disagonal step and push type of leg stance. The way to get that by feel, is with 100% on one leg, the other leg draws a small circle, and the radius that splits the difference between pure horizontal and forward direction will give you optimal stability.

basic exercises:

micro squat: just one or two inches, very slow. the smoother your qi, the less stuttering.


ward off is a great zhan zhuang pose.

feel your weight and center of mass dropping lower and lower, into your calves, you can feel more of the surface of both feet contacting the ground. Your sensitivtiy of that increases.

the tailbone, lower back, should feel like it's floating in a bag of water, so the creases in your hips and legs, low back and core are all completely relaxed like a bag of water.

it can require stretching, accupressure to tenderize your muscles and fascia to physically loosen and shatter the ice.

FIB: simple key to health

75 trillion cells in body
each a micro version of you.
what do you need?
food and garbage disposal.
don't get food and nutrients, you die.
don't get your garbage disposed in time, foul disease, poisoning from toxity result.

10 guests for each cell.
3 are beneficial, 7 are parasites or harmful.
one example, there are vitamins manufactured by healthy beneficial bacterial cells that are "not you". You can't survive without those friends. Your friends need dietary fibre and other nutrients, so what you consume is not just for "you" (75 trilliion cells), but also the friendly helper bacteria.

eating healthy, exercising, but pumping blood, oxygen, qi, into all cells, esnures proper delivery of food and garbage collection, and emergency services like your immune system sending white blood cells.

This is why exercise is so important. Blood circulated by the heart only reaches less than 50% of your cells. The rest comes from muscular contraction via lymph fluid. So deep breathing, sustained for sufficiently long periods, is what delivers nutrients and collects garbage from 100% of the cells in your body.

people who don't exercise, then the extremities and cells not getting regular garbage collection and food, become poisoned and starved.

you don't just eat food once a week right? You shouldn't just exercise once a week either.

so without knowing all the infinite knowledge and intricacies of health from medical science, chinese medicine, ayurveda, all you need to know is if you eat right and exercise right, you'll deliver food and collect garbage to all the cells and ensure the immune system can fix any problems that arise on their own.
