You must be asking how to turn the rear foot on a bow stance execution like in the form brush knee, parting wild horse's mane etc. Bow stance: front leg carries 70% weight and 30% on the rear. Rule of thumb in turning legs or feet: make it Yin or light before moving .

Therefore, as you step the front foot to do a bow stance, and start filling it up to the 70%, turn the waist and turn the rear foot pivoting on the heel 45deg. at the same time. Flow of energy on the form(say brush knee left) : As you are filling up the front leg, and turning the rear in conjunction with the waist,the right hand reaches and make contact. The initial uproot happens during the expansion where the rear is pushing at 45 degrees. But this is not the complete application. Remember: "Seek the curve from the straight, and the straight from the curve". The final power specially with fa-jin happens when you pivot now on the front leg. Imagine the globe turning on a common axis which is the front leg which should have good rooting. Now apply the principle one part moves, everything moves. Which means, the whole body moving as one unit.So the pushing hand is turning into a curvature. Now imagine this: the brushing hand is helping the pushing hand going into a curve to the left.

I hope I have contributed a little to your question.

Hi! I'm a beginner in taichi but I want to share what I know about
turning of the back foot. I agree with lordshoju. In the 24 steps the
heel moves backward. It's graceful that way -). But if you want a
martial way then allow me to quote from the book by John Loupos
entitled Exploring Tai Chi. On page 98 he wrote and I quote: "Turn the
toe forward, not the heel back. Next to bouncing, the error comitted
by Novice to Intermediate level students that I find myself correcting
most often is incorrect turning of the back foot. This error is most
likely to occur when stepping or shifting into a forward leaning
stance (also known as Bow-and-Arrow stance or..) Whenever you lift one
leg in preparation to step forward, part of that preparation will
probably include adjusting your other foot( the one that is grounded
and providing support) outward by as much as 90 degrees or so. The
reason why you need to angle your grounded foot out like this is to
properly suppot your body (by keeping your kua open) while your lead
foot extends forward.Once your forward foot has touched down and
connected firmly to the ground, your back foot(still angled..) may
then need to catch up by narrowing its angle in relation to the front
foot. As your back foot pivots forward, it must tightenit angle down
to 30 to 45 degrees. This tightening down, if done correctly, serves
as an impetus to spiral earth force up through your back leg, which
will in turn torque your waist to align it in whatever direction your
forward foot is already pointing. This spiralling/torquing action is
the means by which you get force to travel up from the earth. through
your body, and outward towards whatever 'target' you have in mind.
Advanced students may qualify for an exception to the general
rule of pivoting on the heel. In comparison to less experienced
students, Advanced level practitioners may have a rooting sensitivity
that allows them to shift the actual point of their earth root
connection on their back foot variably and instinctively between their
heel and their Bubbling Well point. Skilled practitioners can do this
in a way that would seem to skirt the physics involved. The error that
many less experienced students make is to let the back heel fall or
slip backward, rather that to plant that heel firmly and 'grind' the
front of the back foot forward.m However, careful scrutiny will reveal
that one consequence pf letting your heel fall back, as opposed to
turning the toes forward, is that the length of your stance(the
distance from front foot to back foot) will be greater, perhaps by a
matter of inches. A second consequence of incorrect turning is that
the width of your stance will be increased. This is no small
consideration because both the length and the width of your stance,
in any given position, can dramatically affect the integrity of your
body connections above. Of equal importance is the consideration that
T'ai chi is a dynamic process. Despite the inherent practicality of
tai chi , its end results do not necessarily justify the 'means by

is the process of turning, rather than the mere outcome of any turn

Let's take a closer look to examine the 'whys' of this move before we
examine the 'hows'. There is always much to be learned from misrakes ,

incorrectly in the first place. The simple answer is that it may be
easier to do it wrong than to do it right. It requires less effort to

succunbing to gravity. As is often the case with mistakes... another

Every Sunday morning at the Quezon Memorial Circle, you'll find one or two persons practicing Falun Dafa or Falun Gong. This form of qigong is described in their brochure as 'an ancient cultivation practice for mind, body and spirit based on the nature of the universe; truthfulness, compassion, forbearance.' While the exercises have deep inner meanings, they also help to reduce stress and can bring great improvements in health and fitness.

It is said that the exercises are easy to learn and good for all ages.

Falun Gong Dafa was passed down over the ages from a single master to a single disciple in each generation. The disciple would later have a disciple of his own, to whom he would pass on the teachings, thereby quietly passing the practice down throughout history.

In 1992, Mr. Li Hongzhi first taught Falun Dafa publicly in the city of Changchun, China, and then continued to lecture all across the country. Those who attended experienced such profound benefits that they told friends and family. As a result, the number of practitioners grew very quickly, solely by word of mouth. By 1998, at least 70 million people had taken up the practice in China alone. Today, Dafa is practiced and cherished by over 100 million people in over 80 countries, and has received a plethora of honors.

If you want to learn Falun Gong, the practice sites and schedules as indicated in the brochure are as follows:

Quezon Memorial Circle, near the Volley Ball Courts, Sundays, 7:30am
Beside Quirino Grandstand, Luneta, Tuesdays/Wednesdays, 7:30am
Near Bulacan Capitol Building, Bulacan, Saturdays, 9am

The lessons are free of charge, open to public.

which they are accomplished. The means must be practical as well. It
is the process of turning, rather than the mere outcome of any turn
that distinguishes a Tai Chhi move from any ordinary untrained step.
Let's take a closer look to examine the 'whys' of this move before we
examine the 'hows'. There is always much to be learned from misrakes ,
sp we can begin by looking at why anyone would do this move
incorrectly in the first place. The simple answer is that it may be
easier to do it wrong than to do it right. It requires less effort to
fall down than to stand up. Collapsing your heel....you are nmerely
succunbing to gravity. As is often the case with mistakes... another
example of an adjustment that is compensatory. The error is really a
'cover up' for..... flaw or weakness elsewhere in the body, perhaps
weak or tired legs, or a tailbone that may be jutting out.'
I hope reading this will help you...-)

Hi,

I see them Saturdays, around 9am in the round open area in the middle (near the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, play area, fountain). I don't attend this session though, nakikita ko lang sila when I go to ATC for my physical therapy session sa Healthway.

The Longevity Secrets of Qigong

Using Qigong to Protect and Enhance Our Life Systems as We Age
John Du Cane, qigong author and teacher

After thirty years of personal experience and research, I have yet to find a practice that more completely offers me a way to protect and enhance my life systems, than qigong.

The old clich� goes that �youth is wasted on the young�. Until we reach our thirties, most of us take our bodies for granted. We party, we blow energy, we burn the candle at both ends, aches and pain disappear as fast as they show up. We feel close to immortal. We are strong, flexible, energetic and eager to do anything, try anything. We do foolish things happily and often, without regard for the consequences. Hey, why not, we think, life is short.

Then life starts to rear up and slap us in the face. Then it starts to punch us in the stomach. Then it starts to kick us in the kidneys.. Then it picks us up and body slams us into the concrete. And starts to stomp on us really hard. Suddenly, in our mid-thirties, mid-forties, or, God, certainly by our mid-fifties, we struggle out of bed, gaze weakly into the mirror and ask �What happened?� Yes, life is short, but I didn�t think I�d be reduced to this in the blink of an eye.

Big generalities, but you get the picture.

So, what did happen? Basically, aging happened. The decline really begins in earnest in our twenties, with a precipitous drop in hormone levels. It just takes a while to show up in our bodies.

If you don�t adopt a daily practice, like qigong, that has the capability to protect and enhance every aspect of your life system, the greased slide of your decline just goes on getting slipperier and slipperier.

Here�s a partial list of factors that will contribute to your decline, if you don�t act differently:

Decline in production of growth hormone paralleled by hormonal imbalances�leading to slower healing/recovery times.

Decline in digestive, eliminatory and circulatory systems�leading to weight gain, constipation, fatigue and cold extremities.

Emotional imbalances�leading to stagnation, debilitating tensions increasing inability to cope with stress.

Reliance on stimulants and other drugs to regulate energy�leading to depletion of natural energy reserves.

Addiction to stress-response�leading to depletion of kidneys, libido, vitality, feelings of discomfort and malaise.

Imbalances in meridian energy flow�compromising immune and other major survival systems.

Shallow breathing�leading to a decline in energy and strength.

Deterioration of joints�leading to lack of flexibility and mobility, increase in joint pain.

Postural irregularities�leading to increasing physical discomfort.

Decline in physical strength�leading to injury-vulnerabilit y and task-inadequacy.

Decline in lymph system�leading to poor skin, edema, cancer and other major diseases.

Decline in powers of attention�leading to poor performance and social alienation.

Decline in sensitivity and responsiveness�leading to decline in ability to experience pleasure.

Inability to relax�leading to diminished capacity for spiritual growth.

What a good qigong program will give you, to address age-related problems

A worthwhile qigong program covers all the bases, when it comes to a daily self-hygiene practice. (Of course, you also need to pay attention to appropriate diet, your environment and other external factors for a complete health program.)

Some qigong teachers have emphasized one aspect of qigong over another, but I consider it unwise not to cover all the bases when the methods are there for you to access.

A good qigong longevity program will include cultivation of the following skills and habits:

Movement. Which should include tapping, shaking, pumping, coiling, twisting, squatting, stretching, flexing, joint rotations, walking, and spontaneous, playful dance-like releases. Movement will range from the very vigorous to the very tranquil.

Handwork. One of the distinguishing characteristics of qigong is the use of the hands, as off-the-body �magnets� to affect and redirect energy flow within and around the body. These self-carressive hand patterns complement the use of sensing and consciousness to cultivate stronger energy.

Breathwork. Qigong returns us to the innate breathing skills we possessed as small children, correcting the impact of stress-induced shallow breathing and other breath-related health challenges.

Posture. Qigong teaches skills for optimizing posture for �stillness� practices, both standing and sitting. These usually involve careful use of sensing and attention to cultivate energy while physically still.

Consciousness. Qigong cultivates and refines the skill of awareness and attention to both guide energy and attain deep meditative states.

Sensing. Cultivates the skill of �feeling� and affecting energy flow.

Find a good qigong teacher (or at least start studying available literature and DVDs) who can help you cultivate all of these skills. Develop a daily qigong program for yourself that addresses every aspect of your health�and you every chance of extending your life, while reducing the impact of the aging process.

A thorough qigong program will act to:

Cleanse you of toxins.

Elevate and balance hormone levels.

Accumulate, restore and maintain your energy.

Build a physically strong, limber, vibrant and resilient body.

Help you rest and recuperate, to avoid unnecessary depletion.

Protect you better from disease, whether it be an internal or external threat.

Restore all your internal organs and systems to optimal functioning.

Help you master tension and relaxation.

Balance your emotions�crucial for long-range good health.

Enhance your ability to meditate and to grow spiritually.

Build presence and the ability to be truly �in the now�.

On a final note: longevity is not just about living longer, it�s about living longer and deeper. Qigong offers a comprehensive methodology for enriching the quality of the life you have succeeded in extending.

I practice and teach TC in the San Diego, CA. area. My group is very
subtle and named " INNER GRACE TAI-CHI " as being a die hard believer
on the lord JESUS CHRIST.
My style: Yang 108, 24, and Cheng Manching's short form(37),
           32-form Tai-Chi sword and Kung FU Tai-Chi fan.
I grew up in Manila and watching with awe those Chinese practicing TC
in Luneta Park. I got involved in a more external martial art- SHOTOKAN
karate rather than TC when I was a young man. Now it is all TC for me,
and it had turned around my life in many ways specially the spiritual
aspect.
Again thanks for welcoming me.

Let me answer the second question, eleazar.

Dr. Roger Jahnke, author of the book "The Healing Promise of Qi". gives the following list of sensations which indicate that qi or chi as at work in the body:

tingling in the hands, feet, cheeks
feeling fluffy internally, like clouds moving inside
a sense of flowing or circulating
feeling radiant or luminescent
feeling that the surface of the body is porous
spreading warmth in either the limbs or torso
the feeling of being tipsy on wine
energy moving in the belly
release of tension in shoulders or neck
decrease of pain
sensation of a magnetic field between the hands
sensation of heat coming from the hands as they pass over the face or body parts
the urge to cry or the release of tears
a sense of reconnecting with a lost part of oneself
a sense of the transcendental or spiritual
a feeling of coming home
a feeling of ecstasy or bliss

The author says that the qi sensation is unique to each person.

In own experience, after I do my tai chi and qigong routine,I feel so light. It feels so good.

Dr. Jahnke describes a simple exercise to feel the sensation of qi. Although the exercise described is based on a standing position, it can be done also while sitting. It goes this way: Bring your hands together with the palms facing each other. Deepen your breath and relax.Slowly bring your hands apart, then together, then apart, many times, as if you are playing an accordion. Eventually, you'll feel a tingling sensation in the hands an a feeling of a magnetic field between the hands. That's the qi sensation.

Try it! Good day! :-)
