In the beginning, learning the moves can be strange, be patient, familiarity will bring a calming attention, then through the awareness of the principles in action we practice as the mental quietness brings the impulse of intent creating the slow, smooth continuity of the movement.
We relax the joints through expansion, the repeated flexing and stretching movements of Qigong help lengthen the tendons and ligaments allowing softness and proper Qi energy distribution.įOCUS ON THE MOVEMENTS (JING) focusing on the movements is how we learn and practice stillness within motion. JOINTS ARE OPEN (SONG) for the Qi energy to flow smoothly through the body, the joints need to be soft and loose (not limp).
Where there is expansion, there is contraction.ħ0% RULE leave a reserve, only move to about 70% of your total range of motion, helping to insure safety, health and stability. When there is a down motion, there is also an up, when forward there is also a back movement. WHEN ONE PART OF THE BODY MOVES, ALL PARTS OF THE BODY MOVE the whole body is connected from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head. There is an energetic connection between the hands, the hands and the feet, the elbows and the knees, and the wrists and the ankles. The knee points to the toe and stays aligned with it. The ’empty’ step should always be retrievable without a push off.īODY MOVES IN ALIGNMENT the nose follows the navel, shoulders turn with the hips. STEP AND SHIFT WEIGHT WITH INTENT AND AWARENESS the tai chi step is made without weight, 100% of the weight is maintained until a conscious transfer is made. Let every part be loose and yet filled with life. Knees not locked, feel the body seated as if on a high stool, elbows feel heavy and pointing down.

The shoulders are slightly forward and dropped, back is gently rounded. MAINTAIN A SUPPLE UPRIGHT POSTURE feel the head suspended from above, with the spine gently stretched below, the tail bone pointed toward your center of gravity in or between your feet. In it Falle explores his relationship with his home island and how his queerness was (or wasn’t) accepted there and, coming from a similarly small community, there’s a lot to relate to that I’m sure many will also find, along with this it also shows another side musically being far more of a piano based ballad than anything else presented here.SLOW, SMOOTH AND CONTINUOUS feel like the water flowing in a gently moving stream around the smooth rocks, widening and narrowing,īE AWARE OF A GENTLE RESISTANCE as if the air is softly pushing back against each movement. At this point, you can stop presenting on OpenSong if you wish because every slide is cached.

In a lot of ways this feels like the end of the record but we then get The Country which slows things right down to end and presents maybe the most directly open song of the set (which is quite a feat as openness and honesty are key elements throughout). Launch OBS, and start presenting on OpenSong. Guilty quickly builds into an absolute banger (to use the modern vernacular) of a dance track while exploring some fairly dark issues of relationships that again manages to find its own positive within them before The Rhumba Club is Waiting For Me acts as a companion to Welcome To… earlier on, pulling together everything we’ve heard so far and once more finding a strong positivity in individuality, along with the excellent lyric of ‘I’m Just A Boy, I’m paranoid, engaging in self-Schadenfreude’.
