Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong Caution after Sitting exercises

After Active Exercise, it is suggested
not to eat or drink anything cold within 30 minutes
not to wash hands and face with cold water or take a bath immediately after the exercise
not to use the bathroom within thirty minutes

i do the sitting exercises from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. and have to leave for office at 7. first half hour small universe and the second half hour self concentration.

my query is: do i have to observe the above cautions even after sitting exercises?

thanks in advance

bigboy, they are not cautions. They are just instructions for taking your Spring Forest Qigong practice from good to best.

The idea is that after doing SFQ, you can gain additional benefit by not interrupting the energy patterns you've established. Hence the suggestions to abstain from the more disruptive activities for a while after you have done your practice.

The recommendation is for the sitting and active exercises.

I like the sitting exercises in the morning, namely quiet time, too. How ever Master Lin has suggested that the optimum time for the active exercise is the 5 - 7 am / pm times. And the best for the sitting is 11 - 1 am / pm. This doesn't mean the that doing the other ones is bad. Since the "Do what you can when you can" would seem to be higher the list of guidelines for Good - Better - Best practices.

You are perfection.

With my limited experience I have already noticed that it is really nice to loll in the glow after the exercise. Mmmmmm.... yes.... Sometimes I have to break it, for some reason or other.

Anyway, I trust my unconscious mind that it will give me the most benefit of each exercise, whatever I do.
