Nei Gong Notes, September 15, 2026

Last Tuesday’s lesson was Song Yi. (A Nei Gong one; they’ll all be Nei Gong ones for the next while, since I’m dialing down the amount of Tai Chi that I’m doing.)

Wednesday: 40m Song Breath 2; 15m Du Stretch. And I participated in Rick’s Zoom course.

Thursday: It was quite warm outside, so the only Tai Chi I did was the sword weapon forms and the Xinjia first form. 40m Song Yi; 70m Wu Ji; 50m Being Present / Ming Men sequence. And I watched the Mental Barriers lecture from Maryland 2023.

Friday: I didn’t feel like doing all that much; 10m Coiling Snake, 25m Dantian Gong, 10m Ji Ben 2, and 30m in total of Wu Ji mixed in around those various parts.

Saturday: 35m Song Breath 1. 20m Releasing the Feet. Regular Chen class. 15m going through all four Dragons.

Sunday: 20m Du Stretch, and the monthly advanced Chen class.

Monday: 45m Song Yi, following along with the video again because I (correctly!) suspected I’d missed a step when originally taking my notes. 25m Dragon 1, 20m Wu Ji, 30m standing Dantian Gong, 30m Earth Hui Chun.

Tuesday: 30m Dragon 3; 25m Lotus Dao Yin / Wu Ji; 30m Water Hui Chun; 30m Song Breath 1. I wasn’t planning to do three exercises that all affect the chest, but I guess having a theme isn’t a bad idea? Like last week, Dragon 3 was pretty interesting, affecting a good range of my torso during both the walking part and the standing part.
