'The Paradox Of Internal Power' - continued from 5/24 post

"This has to do with the Chi permeating every fiber of your being and when it does, it creates a state of very contained potential energy, bubbling deep within, you might say.

So the feeling of muscular strength is replaced with a feeling of extreme lightness, (emptiness) speed and intention, like you can move your body as fast as your mind. As you might imagine, this is particularly useful in a real time self-defense situation."

'The Paradox Of Internal Power'

"Regarding internal power, one of my teachers once told me, “The stronger you feel, the weaker you are, and the weaker you feel, the stronger you are.”

            "On the one hand, this means when you feel like you really hit hard, your internal power is actually weak. Conversely, when you feel like you really didn’t do that much in terms of force, your internal power is actually abundant.  And to take that a step further, when you feel like you ‘didn’t do anything,’ other than execute the movement cleanly and effortlessly, that’s often when you really issued a blast.'

"One of the most amazing things that happens in Zhan Zhuang is the change that can take place in the nerves and also, in the tissues where the nerves are located. What is this change?

A physical transformation within the nerve sheaths. And as a result, something happens through extensive training that makes the nerves both more sensitive, and at the same time, less subconsciously reactive to outer stimuli."

(Continued from the previous post)
        "On the other end of the spectrum, we have the over-inflated tire or the excess condition of too much Chi pressure. The problems this can cause are quite evident. Too much pressure in the Heart will lead to high Bp numbers and risk of heart attack or stroke. Too much arterial pressure and the effected region could burst. 

Those are extreme examples. Usually with the more moderate Excess conditions, there are feelings of local or systemic tightness and often times people unknowingly manifest this tension in there daily lives.

That said, we can use specific breathing patterns to help equalize imbalances in Chi pressure. The idea is simple, for deficient Chi pressure, inhale longer than you exhale. For an excess condition, simply exhale longer than you inhale in your breathing cycle."

        "The idea of Chi pressure and the way it functions in the body bears

taking a look at. Think of the Chi pressure in the body like the air in an

inflated tire. If the tire pressure isn’t correct, the vehicle doesn’t ride

right."

        "Too little Chi pressure is like an under-inflated tire. Too little pressure

creates deficiency in organs and other body systems. To understand

the reason for this, for a moment think of the meridians as tubes

with water flowing through them. Without enough ‘water’ pressure

the body’s systems don’t have enough energy and therefore do not

function optimally."
