I need your help on Active Exercises. Recently messages on this forum pointed out the need to balance Spring Forest Qigong Meditations with the right amount of Active Exercises.
I have avoided the Active Exercises. This is because their repetitive motions of Moving of Yin & Yang, Breathing of the Universe, Joining of Yin & Yang, and Harmony of Universal Energy hurt my neck and spine.
While I can visualize them, I don't like doing that for that doesn't seem active and thus not effective.
I can do the Beginning of the Universe and Forming of Yin & Yang, but (1) Are they by themselves Active Exercises and (2) Would an exercise program composed only of these two meet the requirements for Active Exercises?
If so, what timing is suggested to meet the half-hour requirement? The SFQ instruction book suggests only up to 3 minutes on Beginning of the Universe and up to 5 minutes on Forming of Yin & Yang. Is it effective to do them for 15 minutes each?
Or is there something else I can do to meet the requirement for Active Exercises?
