Dan's Thoughts on Chi Kung
I began learning T'ai Chi 20 years ago. I've had hundreds of students come through my classes. Most are curious and many are hurting. There are a very, very few who, like me, are drawn to T'ai Chi and must learn the full form. But learning the full form is a long journey. We discover early on in our training that learning T'ai Chi requires jumping into the deep water with both feet. This isn't something you do casually. You either get in or get out. Of course, you can leave and come back, but unlike some practices, you can't be a casual student - coming to class and practicing only occasionally.
When Gary first showed me the Chi Kung in Ten Gestures 14 years ago I thought of the second group of students: those who are hurting. They don't care so much about T'ai Chi specifically; they just want to get better. They want something that works. Chi Kung in Ten Gestures is the answer. Chi Kung in Ten Gestures employs the principles of T'ai Chi and can be learned very easily. What good is any practice, no matter how effective, if you don't actually practice it? T'ai Chi is simple but not easy. Chi Kung in Ten Gestures is simple and easy and effective.
The DVD has a section where I explain the principles behind Chi Kung (the Introduction). There is a section where Gary and Julie thoroughly demonstrate and I explain each movement (Step by Step). Those movements are listed separately on the DVD menu so you can go right to a specific movement. There is a Follow Along section. Once you've got the movements down you'll probably want to just follow along without explanation. It won't be long before you won't need the video at all.
This project is supported by many wonderful people. Gary Barrett, my teacher, mentor and friend who created the Ten Gestures (he prefers the term 'compiled.') Julie Guth, my friend who demonstrates the form with Gary. Julie's gentle support of me and this project have been invaluable. Larry Larson provided the music. I'm not a musician, but I've always thought of T'ai Chi as music. I teach using musical metaphors. Larry is connected to the energy of the universe in a very special way and we hear it in his original compositions. Chip Borkenhagen is connected too and his outlet is graphic. Chip graciously offered his amazing talents to this project and you see the results in the logo and graphic design. Click on the RiverPlace logo below to contact Chip. Thank you all!
