Preparing your body and mind for practice make a difference.

You'll find improvement in your practice results when you can leave a short space between whatever you were doing in life and practice time. I often will do a brief stretch if my time is short and this gets my body and mind focused on what I'm about to do. The mindset must be ready for practice for it to be effective too. Thinking about bills, what you have to do or anything outside of practice will reduce the effectiveness of your practice time.

Make every training session count. 💪😊

Keep this in mind as your practice nei gong and qi gong:

Exercises are meant to refine us as the practitioner. We practice not to perfect the movement itself, but so that the movement may build qualities within us. We embody the practice by building it into us, rather than refining the movements to look nice.

How do you integrate practice into your everyday life?

Bridging my practice of Nei Gong into normal daily life has always been at the core of what I do. Not just for the efficiency and effectiveness, but because I'm always doing my best and improving. Practice is life, life is practice. 😊🔥🙏

You may have never been told this.... so listen up

The quality of our thinking affects us greatly. Positive thinking and light-heartedness tends to give people more energy in life. Whereas negative, critical and harsh thinking tends to diminish your energy.

The choice is ours on how we think and respond to life and the events that happen. It can be hard to break a pattern of thought, but it is beneficial to think positively.

I hope you have a great day and share this with someone who needs to hear this. 😊💛

Here's a quick recap into the start of Year 2 for the Toronto Foundations Program!

Students are doing well and we're going deeper into Nei Gong practice. They're working at the level of the Qi, and now time to develop some skill there! We've covered a LOT of material in Year 1, and this second year will build off of that and go into more depth and detail so we can develop ourselves. The energetic arts take time and diligent practice to develop Gong, these lovely folks are on their Way there. 😊👏🔥

People often become inhibited by overthinking. And wondering when the best timings and conditions to practice can sometimes do this. The best timing is usually now, and wherever you can. Specific timings and settings of practice really only matter later on in your cultivation journey and at that point you will know what you need anyway. I prefer the forest and mountains when I'm able, but any room or backyard can work.

The key takeaways:
-Go train right now 😄🤌 or whenever you can
- before noon will be rising Yang energy (good energy for the day)
- Evening will be more Yin energy (good for sitting and calm/inward practice)
- Avoid practicing regularly during 11am to 1pm if possible, it's an unstable energetic period of time.
-if you can get to the forest, enjoy the good qi there. If not, make your own! 🙂🌟

Internal practice on your own is when deeper transformation happens and how you absorb the teachings and practice into your being. I enjoy social classes and dynamics. Though I've had periods of time studying with my teacher and others in a social environment, I've always gone away on my own to digest and assimilate everything I learned into my own practice. And i found this to be the most transformative times, studying my practice everyday. This is vitally important for anyone looking to go deep in their internal practice. 😊🙏
