Early Autumn - Apple and Cinnamon

New VapeSafe Early Autumn eLiquid.

Early Autumn - Apples and Cinnamon flavored eLiquid evokes memories of the beginning of fall. The feel of the warm autumn sun on the skin. The sight of vibrant hues of amber and crimson leaves hanging in gently swaying trees soaking up the light. The rustling sound of the breeze slipping through the tree branches tugging and teasing the remaining leaves into releasing their hold and floating downward. The laughing children raking the leaves into piles and then running and jumping into the soft, luscious piles scattering the leaves again. The delicious smells of baking apple and cinnamon pies wafting through open windows. These are the sights, smells and tastes of Early Autumn.

Early Autumn eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of Autumn no matter what season it is. Early Autumn eLiquid is flavorful combination of apples and cinnamon. As with all of the VapeSafe eLiquids, our mixtures are designed to produce nice, heavy vapors and the most succulent flavors. Try Early Autumn eLiquid today!

Wild Goose Qigong 1: The First 64 Movements

Description

Wild Goose I Qigong (chi kung) is well known for its lovely and graceful movements, which are suggestive of the image of an innocent and carefree wild goose. As a "movement-oriented" Qigong, Wild Goose fully includes tai-chi and yoga like movements and postures to naturally open up our twelve meridian lines, and induce circulation (also know as inducing the micro-cosmic orbit) within our conception and governing vessels.

Summary: "Very bad quality DVD"

I would not recomend ANY of Dr Bingkun Hu's DVDs.
I bought all of his DVDs as downloads as they are much cheaper. Please take my warning - NOTHING is EVER explained by this man. The most you will ever hear him say is RELAX & maybe some counting! As to any explanation as to how to DO any of the movements - there is none! There is absolutely no explanations about any energy points that are being used or what the reason for the movements are. I have been practicing Tai Chi & Qigong for over 20 years & found it difficult (to say the least) to know what he was doing. Not only that but his movements are very sloppy & he is constantly losing his balance & getting things wrong. Huuumm? As to his self proclaimed personal descipleship with his teacher Yang Mei-jun, who knows? Many people have trained with her, what makes him so special? And seeing that he explains NOTHING on ANY of these DVDs, it begs the question - just how well does he actually even know this stuff? It's all very well going to the US & teaching it there but has he ever taught it in China where people know about these things & will ask definite & specific questions & expect concrete & good answers. Maybe in person he is a better teacher but as for the DVDs - get a grip man! We expect more, we expect to to told SOMETHING AT LEAST.

Summary: "You really need a teacher for this!"

I ordered this video and "Wild Goose IV: Tripod & Spiral Qigong" thinking I could learn them on my own. Having viewed the video and attempted some of the form, I realize this is probably going to be too difficult. For one thing, since the form requires taking up to seven steps forward and then back, and about as many to the side, as well as turning around in different directions, it's kind of hard to watch the TV screen while doing all that. This also requires a larger practice area than most Qigong forms (which are relatively stationary) so you'd need a pretty spacious room, or to practice outdoors (which is ideal but not always convenient). Another thing is that the movements are not demonstrated slowly enough for the beginner, and the spoken instruction doesn't always help in elaborating either. Even with the form broken up into sections and repeated several times, its hard to work on each part without getting lost with the movements and pacing. It's definitely one of the more complex Qigongs I've seen. It looks like a wonderful practice though and I'm giving it 3 stars because the production is pretty good (considering its not a slick, high-budget commercial production) and Dr. Hu is clearly very skilled and probably an excellent personal teacher. This DVD (as well as "Wild Goose IV" and I imagine the rest of the series) would probably work best as a practice aid or reminder for those who have learned the form in a class.

Summary: "Useful for me"

I have been taking a weekly class in Wild Goose Qigong recently and found I had a hard time remembering what has been shown to me in class. I have been glad I bought this DVD--it has made it easier for me to keep up. The only problem has been that some of the movements are done slightly differently by my teacher, but nonetheless I have been able to adapt to that.

I don't think it would be realistic to think you could really pick up the Qigong using this DVD only with no teacher. Or at least I couldn't. But for someone studying Quigong it can be very useful to be able to watch the movements over and over and I also found the DVD a bit inspirational, with some lovely images of wild flying geese, nice Chinese music, and the images of an instructor and his class who seem really into it all. Some sections of the movements are taught much more thoroughly and carefully than others.

Summary: "The feelings"

Just doing forms 1-11 of the Goose wakes up, I already experience that "electric" and warm feelings. "Electric" feeling is like somewhere inside my body along a path is bitten by many ants. To my understanding about this kind of exercise, this is amazing.

Summary: "very well-done. i'm impressed!"

i must admit: i was a bit skeptical when buying this video. in fact, it took me a few months to finally get around to buying it. the reason being that there are only a few reviews, and most of the later videos have only one review or none at all. i figured either the production quality would be painfully low-budget, or the forms would possibly be badly represented.


nothing of the sort. indeed, i was pleasantly surprised.


Master Hu's credentials aside (having been taught by the late Grandmaster Yang, Mei-jun), this video is beautifully done and enjoyable to watch, as well as easy to learn from. it could be a little overwhelming for the newcommer to qigong, so i would recommend it more for experienced practitioners, but if you have a passion for the beauty of the art, i think it's hard to go wrong with this video.

the knowledge he shares in the video was eye-openning as well. i wasn't aware that the wild goose form was designed for the physical motions to take prominance over the conscious breath work and mental direction of the energy. i've never known a qigong system to be designed quite like that. an internal relaxed presence, rather than relaxed focus. clarity over control. i like that!


i'm looking forward to buying the rest of the series. and i'll be sure to write a review for each one, just so others who are like me can be a little more confident in their purchase.
