1st step - Qi Gong of physical body

I think that most people will see the four orders in the book and not give them much thought. They are missing something really special.

Those 4 orders show a way to develop our lives, physically, emotionally, mentally and consciously. I want to begin to present a bit of this here on the blog.

I will start with the simplest. The physical order which starts with Fixed-Earth / Yang of the element Earth. In this order, there will be a series of Qi gong body movements. You begin at the beginning, proceed through each step until you complete the end. Each time you go through the movements, the capacity of the body develops more.

The key is to build a strong foundation. This means doing the beginning steps over and over again before moving on to other steps. Eventually the whole order is done as one movement.

The first step of the physical order is to become fixed-Earth. You can either lay down or stand up. You have a body. You let your body relax into its own weight. You feel its weight and mass. The more you let the body slump into its mass, the stronger the foundation for the following steps. This first step sets the tone for the whole series of movements.

This first step has no movement but changes do occur.
