If the video resonates, please like, comment, and share—it helps more people discover the powerful benefits of authentic Tai Chi and Qigong.
Why this matters
If you want lasting benefits—better energy, calmer mind, improved mobility—consistency is the lever. Part 2 shows how to build a practice you can sustain. For many, it’s an ideal time to settle into short, steady Heaven & Earth sessions and let the gains compound.
Key takeaways
• Begin now. Short, repeatable sessions beat heroic efforts you can’t sustain.
• Train ~70%. You’ll progress faster long-term—without strain or injury.
• Structure → Flow: build the container first so your energy doesn’t “leak.”
• Heaven & Earth Qigong is the bridge: simple choreography, deep Neigong layers.
• Start small and continue. Over months and years, steady practice supports the body’s natural repair and repatterning.
