Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong some help getting started...

Hi everybody.

I just received my Spring Forest Level 1 a few days ago, and I am very excited. I have just started practising the active exercice, or should I say just started trying to practice.
I am having a really hard time breathing right with the movements. I notice that I sort of stop breathing because I am so focused on the movments. So my question is; should I focus most on the breating or the movement in the beginning? I assume this will get easier as I continue practising, but still???

I would be very grateful for some help!!

Hi, welcome!

For now, focus on the movements. Once those become memorized, you can begin to focus on the breathing. If you are practicing regularly it shouldn't take too long.

I'm glad you chose SFQ!

Welcome, Marianne,

I, too, had difficulty coordinating the breathing with the movements when I started. JeffreyC is correct in suggesting to concentrate first on the movements. In a short period of time, I found the breathing fell into place and “it all came together.”

Thank you both!! I`ll just keep up the good work then
