Nei Gong Notes, June 2, 2026

No lesson on Tuesday evening (bad time management), but I did the Hou Tian Qi 2 lesson from the Nei Gong course on Wednesday.

Wednesday: Du Stretch; went through the Hou Tian Qi 2 lesson; 15m Dragon 3.

Thursday: 20m Taiji Standing 6, 20m Wu Song Shen Fa 3. It’s been too long since I’ve done that latter one, I should probably rewatch the video to make sure I’m doing it right. The base of my palms were weirdly tingly during it, not sure if that was caused by the Taiji Standing or something else or just a coincidence. I went through the 37 form and the Chen Lao Jia first form. In the afternoon, I did a longer stretching sequence than normal; 25m Hou Tian Qi 2; and 50m Being Present / Ming Men exercise.

Friday: 25m Wu Ji / Coiling Snake; 25m Hou Tian Qi 2.

Saturday: 25m Hou Tian Qi 2; my regular Chen class. Felt better than last week, though I’m still a little off.

Sunday: I had to skip push hands, alas. For Nei Gong I did 25m Hou Tian Qi 2 and 20m Full Moon.

Monday: 40m Wu Ji, my first decent length Wu Ji in ages. It went well; I’m getting better at having flesh sinking from the bones and getting a feeling of energy being produced from that. But I definitely still need to be relaxed more, so I can be in that state more often and so that I can get to what Adam described recently. At any rate, yay for getting back to this. And then 25m of Hou Tian Qi 2 and 55m of Dantian Gong + Qi thickening; those were good too, my lower back was getting tingly during the Dantian Gong much more than I expected. So a very solid session, I’m quite happy with that.

Thursday: 20m Taiji Standing 6; 37 form. Du Stretch; 25m Hou Tian Qi 2; 35m Wood Hui Chun.
