27 Movement - Rainy Day Practice
The Da Yan Wild Goose is a beautiful, powerful and graceful set of movements. It’s best to practise outside in the early morning facing west, with the rising sun at our backs. On our numerous trips to China to study with Grand Master Chen and his family, we would practise every day. On rainy days or in bad weather when we couldn’t go outside, we would do the Rainy Day Practice. This set of movements is based on the 1st 64 and keeps all the basic principles and maintains the essence of the Qi cultivation of the Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong system.
