Having hit a situation in my xingyi practice where I felt I had hit a slump, and just went through the motions, I took a dive into xinyi liu he and came up with new ideas.

Often when we get stuck, what is needed is to get a fresh look at the same old, and something start to change. I just took a step sideways, and saw the old in new light.

Everything where you work with body and mind is the same.

This week I have twice focused on some animals. I've done tiger, eagle, bear and snake. Time to get wild.

Trying to add to my animal skills today. Snake xing from now on. It's a fun animal, as there are both yin and yang aspects clearly shown. This will take a while.

Working on some yin power.
Have you ever considered how much your arm weights? Imagine that weight impacting you from above, unhindered by muscular tension trying to "hit harder" ?
Bear might be considered yin, but I agree with Andrea Falk, a raging grizzly does not make me think yin!

First day of proper xing yi practice of 2023. Today I worked on my bear shoulders and dragon back. We'll see if I will manage to become more animalistic this year.
