Nei Gong Notes, December 30, 2025

No lesson Tuesday, because of family visit stuff.

Wednesday: Du stretch (and I took down notes so I won’t have to follow the video going forward); 40m Dantian Gong

Thursday: nothing, spending time on Christmas instead.

Friday: 30m Subtle Body, mostly focusing on the Yang layer, I think at least somewhat successful there? In general I feel like I’m doing a better job of ambiently sensing something during the day, probably Yang Qi? Would be nice to work more on Yin Qi, but still, progress.

Saturday: My regular Chen class.

Sunday: Push hands; not as long as normal, I was a little tired.

Monday: Nothing, spending time with my offspring.

Tuesday: Du Stretch; 30m Kidney Hui Chun.

I was planning to do a lesson tonight, but I was pretty drained, so it didn’t seem like a good idea. My new TCM doctor does something unusual that he calls “tension release” and, as he warned me, it can be pretty draining, and that did actually happen to me this time, after one bit of the treatment today I was actually feeling a little nauseous. So I’ll try to get back to practice more often (my kid is still here the next two days but we’ve done all the specifically planned things) but I’ll try to do a little less and do more nourishing / less potentially draining stuff.

And, assuming I feel okay tomorrow, I will do a new lesson then.
