The lesson consists of a series of simple Taoist exercises with a deep effect in the link of body-energy-mind. Practice cultivates structural alignment, the perception of the internal universe and consciousness. They consist on a diverse set of preparation practices, the eight still postures (zhan zhuang) and stretches, the 'eight pieces of brocade' (ba duan jin).
Practise ‘gathering’ one's vital forces. And initiate movement with minimal effort or energy loss. One seed can inspire us in developing the skill of ‘storing energy’. Within a seed, life force is held together in an optimally compressed state. In fact, one seed contains the whole tree. We approach the skill of 'gathering' at several levels and always address and stabilise the physical. And gradually build attunement with more subtle layers, such as energy and mind.
