Just "Relax" LOL 🫠
"How to Relax in Tai Chi" Are you relaxing or are you tense?

Some qigong or dynamic tension can help relaxation by increasing awareness in those parts of the body. It's easy to forget about fascia, but few people seem aware that it's more densely innervated than muscle. I've been enjoying little bits of loosening exercises in my warmup, like heel drops for the arms and shoulders.
Akashic Record Type Vibrations... 🔊
I came across this Akashic Record Vibe Type Beat in another group that centers around music and vibes. Have you listened to something like this before? 🤷‍♂️ It made for some great ambiance while I did some Qigong / Tai Chi. Try it out and see what you think.

@Jake Hill Agreed. I refer to 'tracks' from a lot of artists because it may be musical, but not necessarily a 'song.' Yeah, I listen to plenty of synth music. Owl City is a favorite, or lots of EDM and dubstep. I have yet to find anything that adds to my kungfu practice, aside from an odd phenomenon that I noticed when I used to spend time cramming for tests: Sometimes, I play 'music' just to give my brain something to exclude. As if, the thought of filling my attention with 'this instead of that' increases the level of focus on 'this.' So, I may listen to hardstyle (pogo stick music) while I train the ropes, then leave it playing, as something to consciously ignore. The psychology of that is probably bogus, but that's how it feels.

@Jake Hill I'll check that album out! I respect but never tracked with WuTang. I pretty much only practice outside, so I usually just focus on the inside. I believe there can be good music for kungfu! I just haven't found any that contribute well for me—at least, not consciously. Like you say, it probably wouldn't have lyrics.
☁👋 On the 6th Day of Cloud Hands...
We look at a couple of details. From the top and bottom of the circle... To the left and right of the circle. But don't focus too much on the details. Go with the FLOW. On the 1st DAY we played with the movement of the hands and arms. On the 2nd DAY we added some substance and structure. On the 3rd DAY we turned the Kwa (Pelvis) and shifted the weight. On the 4th DAY we brought it all together. "One part moves, all parts move." On the 5th DAY, we refined with "separate and combine." Today, we look at some details by breaking the circles into parts. Float thru the practice... Float thru the day.😎 ENJOY playing in the clouds.☁️🙏 NEXT: DAY 7 ▶️ P.S. There is no rush and there are no rules. You can stay on the first video for a week or run through all of them in a day. I've dripped them out this way to give everyone a little time to practice each one and let it sink in both mentally and physically. Muscle memory and feeling your body has more to do with what we're doing here than mental memorization. The more you practice the smoother it will become and the less you'll have to think about it. So the best bet (as with most things) is to practice as often as you can (a few minutes everyday is usually better than an hour once a week) and to revisit videos like these over and over again as you build this practice into your body. The goal here isn't to "do Cloud Hands", it's to understand the principles involved in order to integrate them into your body because that body is with you in everything you do throughout your daily life.

I think I'll rip all these tomorrow and watch them with the lady love! I recently recognized that, even without a couch or television, we've fallen into the trap of playing a few episodes every evening. So, I pulled all the lectures from my 'Watch Later' YouTube playlist offline, and persuaded dearest to get ~45min of learning before we veg. Perfect spot for this neat little 'advent'ure. Xiexie, @Jake Hill sihing!
A Tribe Called Xmas 🎄🥶
If you enjoyed the A Very DOOM Christmas... (or even if you didn't, lol)... Here is another classic from Cookin Soul: A Tribe Called Xmas.🎅🏼 @Tiffany Joyner is a fan of ATCQ, what about you? What is your Christmas Theme Music? (If you haven't checked out the DOOM playlist, check it out HERE, I added the instrumental version in the pinned comment OR give this Lofi Christmas playlist a listen) ✌️

I love lofi at any hour. Despite my opinions regarding Christmas, I'm a sucker for seasonal classics because I have such a soft spot for big band and swing.
🎄 12 Days of Cloud Hands ⛅︎ - Day 1
Cloud Hands is a simple movement that can be found within many Tai Chi forms. The movement can also be practiced on its own. Over the next 12 Days... Take a few minutes out of the hectic hustle of the holidays to float through the clouds and center yourself. It's important to keep your balance.☯️ Look inside... And let the outside melt away. (it'll be there waiting for you when you're done, lol) For Christmas, it may be fun to imagine your hands are Santa and the Reindeer floating through the clouds from house to house bringing joy.🎅🏼 Playing Tai Chi should be fun and light. Not serious and strenuous. The holidays should be a time of fun. Family and friends. Not stress and anxiety. ENJOY.🙏 NEXT: DAY 2 ▶️

@Jake Hill Ooh, I've never seen the connection to Single Whip and Snake Creeps Down. Do you have any illustration of that? Somehow, mentioning Single Whip reminded me of this fabulous video with Adam Hsu. It went on my Everybody Grapples playlist.

@Jake Hill No big deal. I meant, specifically, if there was anything illustrating the connection of Cloud Hand to Single Whip or Snake Creeps Down--I'm familiar with each movement, fairly.
