You can use the torso like a snake or an accordion because you have the room in your torso and ribs. Basically, the idea is that you can balance these things out, gain greater awareness of your internal body and "open your heart" in a literal, physical way that some call dragon body. Creative cycle practice going Wood-Fire-Earth-Metal-Water is the primary focus with wood and water being a minimum. You are literally working on the trunk of your human body tree so wood should be your primary focus here. The 5 elements specifically relate to middle dantian work and connecting your upper gua (shoulders and clavicular girdle to your lower gua. Almost every internal arts teaches the lower dantian and hip gua. The 5 elements are the Heart and Friends Middle Dantian Show. The typical pentagonal layout is not useful for these pursuits, only mental mapping and you'd have to switch it later anyway. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.I got into Kenny Gong style because it focused more on the esoteric aspects of the 5 elements.

The books in the Ba Gua Nei Gong Series are:īa Gua Nei Gong Vol. Twelve Posture Standing and Three Posture Standing provide balanced counterpoints to Ba Gua's moving postures and the eight basic palm changes.
Ba Gua Zhang is known for its circular walking, fast footwork and rapidly changing postures and palms. This allows one to fully engage with the spiral power configurations - wrapping, twisting, drilling, and coiling - imparted by the postures.Īn additional section of the book details Ba Gua Three Posture Standing, a precursor to Ba Gua Zhang's signature maneuver: the Single Palm Change. Holding such moments of transition - in which the center of gravity has just moved and is about to move again - allows one to sense the internal energetic configuration of a part of a movement. These twelve postures, or "stances," are in some sense frozen moments of movement from one position to another. Regular practice of the 12 postures strengthens and opens up the whole body. Unlike basic standing, in which the body is evenly balanced on two legs, Twelve Posture Standing presents a challenging mix of back-weighted, front-weighted and single leg postures that develop balance and refined strength and power. Ba Gua Twelve Posture Standing Nei Gong imparts "Sinew Strength." It is an excellent exercise for strengthening the body and stabilizing the joints. This book presents Ba Gua's unique 12 Standing Posture practice. It can be used in conjunction with actual instruction in Ba Gua Zhang, or employed as a stand-alone instruction manual.
