Permalink Reply by ♥ AimeeLovesYou on Was the interview done by Ian Mcnay? I think there was one interview I wanted to watch of Mantak on Conscious TV (Ian Mcnay's show).
At one point, some years ago, I was thinking about doing a darkroom retreat with Mantak. But I never did it. Too expensive & too far. But still sounds very interesting to me.

Hi Everyone! :) Today's exercise will be a Congolese dance class at 12:30. I'm looking forward to it. I really like the teacher's style & energy.
The class is a little like this...

Permalink Reply by Sita on It's a podcast via iTunes, one of the interviews (by Lama Tantrapa) on 'BTR: The Secrets of Qigong Masters | Blog Talk Radio' released on 04-08-'09. I had it for some time in my library and chose this to listen to during my walk/run. Now it inspired me again to do more meridian qigong; once I practiced the whole sequence daily and after 3 months was free of all symptoms while I wasn't on any special diet at the time. Things Mantak Chia said about Qi made sense about that.
I loved the Celeste-Flower Chakra meditation btw :) Did it before going to sleep and had a very good night's sleep.
- you must be feeling your upper legs Aimée! Once had a class of this style (kind of) and all was with holding the legs bend, but it is such fun!

Maybe on day I'll go. :)
--My left hip is really bugging me. :( When I dance too much, I get some sort of bursitis thing happening. It's such a bummer. Because if that didn't catch up to my craziness, I would just keep dancing like crazy for as long as I could. But when I take too many classes back to back (classes that are very intense & fast), it catches up with me. This time I'm going to try a lot of hip stretching & rest when needed, to counter balance the bursitis symptoms.

Hope you are having fun on this beautiful Monday.
The days keep flying! :)
Permalink Reply by Sita on 30 min Standing Pose Sequence for Strength, yoga class. I thought let's take it easy today…but this was a quite sweaty half hour!
Tai chi-24 forms to harmonize the qi flow in the body. Today I'll study some meridian qigong to take it up again this week.
Will have a green pineapple/banana smoothie for breakfast :)
Have a lovely Monday!

Luv, I wonder if dance might figure at all in your future beyond your personal fitness. I bet you'd be a great teacher as it's obviously in your blood!
Had an ultra bizzy past few days, what with family (since departed) and a 20hr safety class over the weekend.
Thu:
Bare walking
Sand Beachball play
50 min Yoga and Splitting (including your recommended technique, B. I can clasp my paws in prayer already, but am a good 4-5 inches off the ground in both front and side splits still. But I'll keep at it, and if you have any more ideas or links to a vid with whose ideas you do agree, pls pass it on.
Fri: 25m yoga/splits
CC
Pullups
Sat: Nuffin but sittin' on my tuffin
Sun: Not much more other than a couple fun team search n rescue exercises
Mon: Morn
back at it with 20m Yoga
Pullups
CC
Eve:
bike ride to park
Tabata sprints of 8x: 30on/10off; 20/10; 10/10; and 5/10--16 min total, broken by more
CC
successfully moved on to step 9 of the ab series
hit 20 reps twice on my right leg for the one leg SQ braced on a basketball, counterweighted. less flexible left leg needs more time to catch up.
finished with splitting; the bound king pigeon was a bit easier
Ha! of the day:
I checked out some items at the library, whose electronic gate beeped at me on the way out. There's always a bored security guard present there who somewhat lackadaisically decided to check my items. But when I pulled out my proof-of-receipt, it tore into 3 pieces like a puzzle. Not wanting to mess with it, the guard just said I was ok to go.
I responded: "Why, because I've proven my ineptitude as a criminal?"
He started laughing so hard, he had to cover his face!
Always nice to brighten someone's day :D
Permalink Reply by Sita on 20 min Madhur Flow for a warming up to prepare for an other advanced yoga class
10 min rebounding (not exciting, but it gave a nice sweat)
31 min Radical Flow, the advanced class - I could do all the binds! And did the tripod-headstand with a wall supporting, but could pull up into it and go down again into the crow. That felt so amazing :) Oh, I guess my neck problem is gone! Forgot all about it :) And also….ended with a full lotus, held it longer than before with ease, thanks to the intense class.
He-he….well, my birthday is in a few days: this Saturday. It was a long long time ago :) Ok, here it is: 1954. How about yours and WL's? I don't celebrate it like most people do, but enjoy it very much by being away if possible, going somewhere nice, having a fun day :)
Yes, it feels good to make someone laugh WL :) I had it the other day in the elevator. Someone ran to the open door to get in before it closed and I suddenly stretched out my leg (like in karate) to put my foot before the sensor, so he could get in. All the people inside the elevator bursted into laughing! - Didn't know it was funny, but it felt good, especially because it was in a hospital :)

Have a great trip to the mountains!

Having a huge banana/strawberry-lettuce smoothie and may go for an hour walk in the forest later. After all the rain we have sunny days now, feels like being on vacation :)
Ciao amici! Buona giornata ;)
Permalink Reply by ♥ AimeeLovesYou on Hi Helen - Enjoy your trip tomorrow. :) Sounds lovely.
And no worries about food. You'll do the best you can, & that is always the best you can do! :D) Life is spontaneous & unpredictable & full of opportunity.
Hi Sita- Ah! It's this Saturday! How fantastic! :) Wishing you a peaceful birthday of you in all your glory. Just as you are. My best birthdays are the ones that I keep very simple.
And your elevator story was funny. ;D) They probably didn't expect such a serene lady to jump to help someone, with a karate kick in the air to hold the door! I wish I was there.
Hi WL- Thanks for the dance moves & encouragement! I really like dance, not sure if there is ever going to be anything else that comes out of it. I have quite a few injuries that stir up when I dance a lot. So that is something I have to manage when I feel like digging deeper into dance. But I definitely think that I want to study under this Congolese teacher that I recently found. Her classes are really wonderful. I would love to learn as much as I can from her, & then maybe one day, pass on what I learned. There are many ways to share what one knows, so who knows what form it may take. It may be something unexpected.
Hi Everyone! Yesterday I was in Jury duty all day & then I had to go to work after that. Today I am going to Congolese dance class at 5:30PM. Yay! ;D)
