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

Standing in Stillness

00:00- 05:00  Q: How do we keep the mind from wandering and get the maximum benefit from Standing Meditation? Standing Meditation is an important part of internal martial arts training. The Default Mode Network in the brain will kick in when not task oriented and cause the mind to wander. Solution? Give the brain something to do. 

05:00-  29:06  Meditation: Standing in Stillness. 
"Find the stillness in motion. Find the motion in stillness." We are never entirely still when standing. There are micro adjustments being made. There is internal movement associated with respiration and circulation. By bringing conscious awareness to these processes, we give the brain something to do and bring attention to present time.  

47:31- 52:30 Meditation: Universal Post
