Qi (building energy)

These next few comments are, I think to show progression.

Although I have been doing Qi gong daily, I have not always done them as part of the videos.

This morning I have practiced whilst watching the above mentioned video.

I have noticed several things; when I initially started this whole program, I had difficulty in even bending my knees. With the daily practices, I now find that my quads have strengthened. Not only am I able to bend them, but to do it with comfort.

Now this next comment I make I am not sure if it is a good or bad thing.

As someone previously commented, they found that their blood pressure had lowered. I have noticed that in the movement 'Reach for the horizon' when I fold forward, I then start to get slightly dizzy as I then unfold. I am on a low dose of blood pressure medication, so after the session I took my BP and I saw that the systolic had dropped by 15 points. Obviously I am going to keep an eye on this. My hope is that over a period of time that these practices are enough to allow me to withdraw the medication.

I hope that these two comments aid others who are starting out to be a little more aware of the benefits of Qigong and Tai Ji.
