Next month, we'll be starting a new Energy Gates course at Brookline Tai Chi, focused on Outer Dissolving and working through the Gates of the body.
When you work on dissolving the gates, you will inevitably be fighting the urge to:
<ul>
<li>visualize instead of feel</li>
<li>"chase" energetic releases, untethered from the physical body</li>
<li>wonder if you are really feeling anything at all</li>
</ul>
In this episode of Qigong Radio, I'll give my recommendations for avoiding these pitfalls and for setting up the conditions for actual energetic resolution.
If you'll indulge me, I'll even share one of my favorite passages from Moby Dick and tell you why I think it's a perfect description of standing qigong.
Here we go!

At Qigong Radio, we believe that cultivating a movement practice that builds your natural life energy, like Tai Chi or qigong, is an ever-unfolding, rewarding process of inner exploration. We talk shop with teachers and practitioners of all levels.
