Rick Barrett presents "A Wee Bit of Alchemy". Some helpful tips for getting the most from Taijiquan, Qigong, and meditation.  

00:00- 14:00  Q: "How much should we be thinking while practicing a form?" Experiencing Taijiquan exclusively through the "thinking mind" seriously limits your Gongfu. If we enter through a superconscious state of awareness, we are able to "think" as needed, while also expanding the "gap between thoughts" to expand awareness. Superconsciousness integrates Body, Mind, and Spirit into a state of Wholeness to open the Eye of Flesh, the Eye of Mind, and the Eye of Spirit. 

17:19- 24:15  Q: "What part does the Gamma brainwave state play in superconsciousness?"
Superconsciousness enhances whole-brain coherence. In the Gamma state, brain activity is happening much faster than usual. Gamma allows for indirect communications between remote parts of the brain. 

25:10- 42:11  Exercise: An Jin, Part 3
An Jin (Push). An is one of the four basic Taiji energies (Peng, Lu, Ji, and An). The "Push of No Push". I
In Part 3, we start big and then bring the An energy into smaller and smaller forms without losing the power of the expanded forms.
