Welcome to 3 Days to Flow
For the next 3 days, we rebuild Calm and Fluidity step by step.​
Day 1 - Awaken the Qi
Today we begin with Awaken the Qi,
also known as the Commencement Form.
It’s a reset for the body and mind that sets the tone for everything that follows.
-
Physically: Aligns posture, centers weight, and switches from normal standing to Tai Chi structure.
-
Energetically: Sinks Qi into the Dantian, connects to the ground, and begins the upward–downward circulation.
-
Mentally: Drops daily tension and places awareness in the present moment.
Body Focus:
-
Feet shoulder-width, knees soft, spine upright.
-
Arms rise slowly from the sides, led by shoulder joints.
-
Elbows sink, wrists relaxed, breathing coordinated.
Energy Focus:
-
Qi settles in the Dantian, roots through the feet.
-
Energy rises like mist → fingertips.
-
Returns downward, harmonizing breath and flow.
Tomorrow we’ll explore how to step with balance & open the hips (Kua). Don’t miss Day 2!
