Move Naturally
The first chapter—Move Naturally—of Reviving Taiji covers 4 fundamental topics.
- How to Explore Joints and Joints Systems
- How to Breathe Deeply into Core Joints
- How to Wave with Your Whole-Body
- How to Ease into Intensity
Videos connected to the chapters give a good view of it. Right here, you’ll find the four shows that connect to the book…and, right here you can get connected to more. If you don’t have the free book: Reviving Taiji, get it.
All told, you can get four 2-hour lessons to Move Naturally. Each lesson is divided into easy-to-manage, step-by-step chunks. Plunge right in. The first show from each lesson is (almost) here. Check them out…and, if you’ve been here before, use the titles to jump right to each little lesson…
- Move Naturally Introduction: Yes, No, Maybe, Sometimes
- Big Moves: Belly Bellows Breathing
- Subtle Motions: Subtle Sitting—Do the Twist
- Pressure Release: In-Tense, Work-Out
Lesson 1: Move Naturally Introduction—Easy Does It
This Introductory Lesson—Easy Does It—is a series of four 30 minute videos that reveal soft secrets. Secrets that get brushed over in a hurry. Obvious secrets (yeah, that’s what I said…obvious secrets) that, when we could be taking time, we skip right over. In class, it gets gleaned. When we read about it these simple lessons, we nod and then forget to try it. Or we discard simple, obvious secrets with a “yeah, yeah…”
Here we’ll dig right in.
It’s easy.
All four parts of Easy Does It are free, so take your time. And go easy. Discover the circles, ellipses, arcs, and spirals that make your motion flow.
Here’s 1 of 4…
Yes, No, Maybe, Sometimes: Become A Star
See how easy it is? If you get it, you get it because you’re brave enough or at ease enough to Move Naturally. Maybe this one was too easy, and you’re thinking…“Dude, that’s too easy: get on with it.” Well, you’re right…let’s get on with it.
Because we consider Lesson 1 fundamental… one that no one should miss… the whole thing’s free. “Yes, No, Maybe, Sometimes” is the first of four parts, get the rest here: Reviving Taiji/Move Naturally/Easy Does It (the password is ‘easy’).
Lesson 2: Big Moves
Big Belly Bellows Breathing is the first show from Lesson 2: Big Moves. It’s the core and the functional foundation for Big Moves. It will churn your guts. You can apply while you sit at your computer, and you can push it into your martial or your healing practices. It’s kinda of aggressive though, in a nice way. But it’s not for the weak-heart, weak-willed, flower-tossing fool. (I like flowers, but don’t throw them at me.)
Do this now and apply it to your Taijiquan, martial art, healing art, or internal art right after you get up and get it down.
Big Belly Bellows Breathing
Light headed? Slow down. Ease up…soon…there’s more.
Lesson 3: Subtle Motions
See if you can feel it…
Subtle Sitting: Do the Twist
That was fun huh?
After you try it, no doubt you’ll have some ideas about how we’ll apply subtleties to striking. Can you imagine healing applications too?
Lesson 4: Pressure Release
Try it out…
In-Tense, Work-Out
Wasn’t that fun?
There’s infinite ways to apply this one. Think of some and leave a note…
