Thank you for your question. Exercise 2 is horizontal hip circles, so first you circle the hips anti-clockwise and then change direction to clockwise (or vice versa). The hips are not moving backwards and forwards but in a circle.
I am 80 years old and I suffer from knee arthritis. I have been practicing the 18 Tai Chi Qigong stances following videos but never as this SUPERB presentation. Your video is not only EXCELLENT, it's graceful and very relaxing to watch. A MILLION THANKS!
Such a beautiful set ❤. However it was difficult to see the hand postures due to the black gloves. I really hope you consider doing another video of this. It’s very nice 🙏🏽
Thank you, Karen. I'm in the States and have been teaching myself shibashi over the past couple years. I'm in the middle of learning Set 2, and you, through your videos, have been my guide. 🙏🏻 It's great to see your students practicing with you.
The 'simplicity' of the movements, the sounds of the world around you, the setting. They all come together so beautifully. For no apparent reason I haven't been doing this wonderful session but that will be changing. And I will be seeking the other 2 sets as well. I do wonder if there is a 'set' number of repetitions ? I seem to want to continue each one forever.... Thank you again, Karen. From Vancouver Island on the west coast of Canada.
Thank you for teaching me how to do shibashi. 2:56 I've been practicing it every day now for a little over 2 years thanks to you . I practice every morning
A beautiful practice! Perhaps next time you film it, avoid wearing an all-black outfit because at certain movements it was impossible to discern how you held your hands. thank you!
I go on using these gestures sets but I don't follow Lin Housheng ideas. These gestures were existing before he put them on different sets. A long time ago a doctor helped me to learn qi-gong. It was not to earn maoney, just to help people. This nowaday qi-gong practice is too much a question of money.
Only recently discovered this lovely sequence of movements. It’s so nice that it only has the bird song in the background and flows so beautifully. I have a question though when the arms cross does it matter whether the right or the left hand or arm is in front of the other?
Do what feels comfortable for you. Traditionally when the hands are on the Dantien, women put the left hand over the right and men do vice versa. Enjoy your practice!
