- According to my teacher Taiji and Qigong always should match the
- following pattern:
- Idea, breathing, movement.
- Example: wave, wind, movement of water.
- (Not or maybe serious: First you have the idea to post, then you breath
- astonishingly at the information, and then you move to post yourself).
- First of all is the idea, and most important, weak idea, weak practise.
- Secondly: breathing watching/control is always involved, as a main source
- of moving/transforming Qi.
- Third: a strong idea and coordinated breathing always creates movement
- of Qi (Ki in Jap., Prana in India), movement may be inner or/and outer.
-
- Lawrence Galante has an article in his book on TAICHI on the
- simmilarities of Yoga and Taijiquan. Breathing control and coordination
- with movement is one of them. Developing of Qi/Ki/Prana is another.
