28 28 Constellation Gong – Pt 23

If we think of someone we know, or think of someone a lot then they might then do something. Or after a nice holiday, we might connect with that feeling for a long time afterwards. The mind is very powerful and thinks fast so when we think about the past or future, this can help us. So if we imagine ourselves in the future having really good Qi, this is good and can help us to achieve that.

The more we practice and relax and the more we learn, the more we can connect with nature and the people around us.

 

During our practice of 28 Constellation Gong, we can connect in many ways with nature and the world around us. There’s the connection with constellations for each of the 7 steps, a connection with each direction, and we can even connect with our ancestors who created the form and practiced it through the generations. Over time, each bit of work put into the form leaves some of the energy of the creator of the form or practitioner, that we might not be able to see, but that we can still connect to if we think about it.

 

If we think of someone we know, or think of someone a lot then they might then do something. Or after a nice holiday, we might connect with that feeling for a long time afterwards. The mind is very powerful and thinks fast so when we think about the past or future, this can help us. So if we imagine ourselves in the future having really good Qi, this is good and can help us to achieve that.

 

So through practice, if we’re relaxed and calm, we can connect and develop our Qi, feel any blockages in the body, feel a good Qi flow, make good decisions and know more about what will happen in the future.

After the seminar we polished the form, incorporating the jump. We then connect with 9th direction – the centre.

Good to be back after a bit of a break, 28 Constellations is a beautiful form.  Thank you Sifu. Vanessa
 
Interesting to find out about the 9th direction being the centre which completes the sudoku — so in total we have walked 8 directions plus one! Thanks Sigong for all the theory behind the movements!

Thank you for a great polishing seminar Sifu, there are still plenty of details for me to polish. Such a complicated form! Looking forward to the next one. Peter A
 
Feels really good to do the whole form! Looking forward to polishing for a full two hours next time.
Thank you, Sigong.

I enjoyed going through all the names of the constellations today. It seems much clearer now. So now we have to practice saying them in reverse order for when we walk back! A little confused about whether the fluttering bagua steps coordination should be the same or opposite arm and leg. Looking forward to next time. Thank you Sigong. Peter Hogg
 
I so enjoyed how we as a group have become so much more confident with the names and meanings of the constellations and feel a stronger connection with the sky above. It was also lovely to clarify the ending of such an amazing form and I look forward to the last seminar, consolidating. Thank you Sigong and all those I worked things out with in the playrooms.

Was good to revise the names, it is different saying them aloud than in one’s head! Good clarification on the movements, much clearer on the last part now. Thank you Sigong. Christine
