Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Spring Forest Qigong zhan zhuang and SF Qigong

Hi all,

I have just registered on the forums and am based in the UK and I have just started learning ZZ in London, UK. I have also got the Level 1 SFQ course which I have been practicing on and off.

Can the ZZ exercises replace the SFQ active exercises? I find it difficult to find the time to do both sets of active exercises and I find the ZZ exercises more satisfying to do as I seem to be able to feel the energy more quickly and profoundly. However I plan to still continue the SFQ meditations which I can do while commuting etc. From my very limited understanding, the main purpose of ZZ exercise is to open the energy channels in the body and so may have the same function as the SFQ active exercises.

I would be very interested in peoples' thoughts.

Thanks in advance for your help.

David
