Third Class of Eight

Class getting into more details. Good stuff. Worked on the circulation using the major channels tonight. Recapped earlier exercises, but focused on hitting the key gates and channels. Practice is really adaptable to personal experience of doing the exercises.

Teacher cautioned about sensing blockages and trying to avoid certain exercises. May be a blockage that needs attention, not amelioration. But, he also cautioned against trying to muscle through as well. Comes back to balance--balance and sensitivity to what the body/spirit is doing.

Even though the class practice was late in the evening (at a time I find difficult to practice on my own), I came away energized--and hungry. Had to go get a sandwich. Turned on my appetite Qi.

I can feel Qi moving through all of the gates and channels. I feel a blockage in the heart/mind Dan-Tien--emotional center area. Using the breath, I can also relax that area and let the Qi circulate. Key (Qi): more practice.
