Simply One Word :   Song 

A. Daily training, not the same feeling.

B.   The multiple ways of IST training

******* The multiple ways of IST training for enrichment and progress :

   Every in person class is an opportunity to apply the internal system principles

   Every personal practice that I have daily is an opportunity to apply the essence of the internal system principles

   Every zoom class that I conduct each week , total 15, is an opportunity to apply the internal system principles 

    Every Blog  that I write each day is connecting to how I process the internal system principles in my mind and brain , further developing my understanding of IST

   Similar to  Blog writing is keeping a daily journal/ dairy. This is an excellent tool to express your thoughts as you unravel, breakdown IST …..

   Meeting up or by phone 📞 with students and friends to discuss and brainstorm IST is a great way to enhance your knowledge of IST learning. 

    Every night before going to sleep

Thinking about IST principles and how they connect in the bigger picture, is another example of training 

    I have mentioned before that growth in IST not limited to in person🧍‍♂practice only but multitude of ways….

 ***** Daily Training the feeling not always the same : 

 IST feeling takes you into an internal space where there is no limit  and because of this reason, this feeling will change as your understanding and principle of application changes . 

Whichever way I am training , the feeling is not the same. Each consistent day training presents itself with possible change both in my mind and body . 

   Take the tai chi set  for example. 

I have always enjoyed practicing the form , moving as one unit , slow graceful movements helping my mind to relax and focus , developing a physical balance and strengthening my leg muscles, and a tool to deal with everyday stress. 

   With current direction and method venturing into the Internal System Space and universe, practicing the tai chi form has taken on a new dimension and experience for me. 

   Daily practice the tai chi set not the same feeling as I dive deeper into the IST system

   With IST platform , there is obvious JFM principles: joints open  , fascia expansion and muscles hanging. This awareness and application leads to CCC principles in the Tai Chi form. 

 “ An empty mind feeling is an expression of Song that is very comfortable,” said Sifu 

   With IST platform there is a new feeling that the tai chi form is done from the ground up where there is a connecting line energy with no separation. 

   With IST platform there is greater song and there is no destination. Song is part of every IST equation and is foundational piece to Tai Chi form. Daily IST practice fosters  Song and this changes the feeling of practicing tai chi form 

  With IST platform my 2 person drills aka push hands is not the same . My awareness to energy has increased allowing me to stick with training partner’s energy with less and less resistance. It is an enriching feeling to move with another’s energy in unison 

In Summary ,  because IST platform is about a connection with nature and training is     “ OO D Dung“ 

mindset , your daily practice feelings will change as your knowledge of IST principles becomes clearer. 

   Consider keeping a Daily IST  journal. Countless benefits to doing this.
