In April I started the Teacher Training Program at the Ling Gui International Healing Qigong School.  At that time I began a paper diary of my practice.  Because my handwritten entries tend to be sketchy and because I feel better able to express myself when writing with a computer, I’ve decided to pick up LiveJournal again, as a sort of Qigong practice log.

I practiced Jade Body this evening.  I started out on the upstairs deck, but it was too windy so I moved to the yard.  I discovered last week that if I practice in the wind I feel like I “leak” or waste a lot of energy and I have a difficult time keeping track of the sequences.  Tonight, when gathering Qi during the “Buddha washes his body” sequence, the smell of earth below me filled my senses and brought the yellow color from my practice of “Six Sounds Therapy” with it.  Its curious to me that this seems to be one of the movements that is often accompanied by a sensation or visualization for me.  A couple of weeks ago during the same sequence, I "saw" that I was pulling up small smooth stones, like river rocks.  I do not know what this means.
