Your Energy Body is a Living I Ching:

Primordial Tai Chi as Dancing a Sacred Mandala

Talk at Tai Chi training by Michael Winn

We are going to focus mostly on learning the cycle of earth form today. That has 12 movements in it. Number12 in Taoist numerology is considered to be one of the numbers of the Earth. There are others as well, but twelve is one of the most important in an earthly cycle. It's related to the 12 meridians in your body, and the 12 hour "chi clock" of their flow cycle. It is related to — depending upon which calendar you want to use — the 12 lunar months in the year.

If you are going to get into Sacred Geometry, the Chinese calendar is based on cycles of twelve. It's based on five cycles of twelve, total sixty year cycle, which in Sacred Geometry also forms a dodecahedron (twelve pentagons formed into a sphere).

You could basically consider this form to be a mandala. We are creating a moving, geometric mandala. In that sense, it's dynamic Sacred Geometry as well. It's embodied, living Sacred Geometry. We are basically doing a sacred dance within that mandala. Our doing the form of that dance, and the energetic pathway that's already been created by previous masters doing this form, combine to empower that pattern. Of course, since this form also embodies the Chinese calendar, we are doing a sacred dance with Time, that is how we accelerate it ….

The Heaven cycle we will learn tomorrow. It is based on the 8 directions — four of them cardinal (north, south,east & west) and the four intermediate directions (northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest). This number 8 is connected to the 8 trigrams of the I Ching, the ancient Book of Unchanging Changes. We do 4 rounds of Earth, and 4 rounds of Heaven, a total of 8 complete spirals in the ceremony.

This means we are really dancing the mandala of the l Ching. When we do this form, we become a "living I Ching". This is a very, very, profound book, the very foundation of Taoism. Its why I use this form in my higher level Water & Fire internal alchemy courses. The form aligns you quickly with the process of changing your karma on deep levels. You have to train in the spiritual science of alchemical self-transformation to really understand the I Ching. But for now, just know you are ritually activating the power of the I Ching every time you do the form!

The physical movements are gestures, but they are loaded gestures. Symbolic or ritual gestures in a sense. You are gathering something. It is not the physicality of the movement that matters most. That's one of the things that distinguishes it from martial tai chi, where the physical applications are very present. You are doing martial applications even if you don't know it, so it matters there, every tiny physical detail is crucial.

Here it does not matter. That's why you can stay very relaxed with this form. And it's why people get more chi from doing it. Correction: it is not that they get more chi — they activate more chi flow. The chi is already inside you, always present. You activate it more easily with this form than with tai chi. Because in martial and even health tai chi they are too concerned about their body and so they shrink down their chi field to the size of their body, and then they become a little tense and too contracted to let it flow easily. They are always concerned, am I doing it right?

But here, we are always constantly expanding our Energy Body. With all of these perfect polarities built into each set of movements. Front and back, left and right, up and down. We're in a continuous looping flow. It's almost like a Celtic cross. Have you seen the Celtic cross? Everybody, take your hand and start to make these loops. That's really what a Celtic cross is like. You can go one up and one down, one left and one right. They are just a series of figure eights, and they are all crossing back in the center. You can have one go behind you and one go in front of you.

In this form we are making, in the whole movement, the whole dance, a kind of multi-dimensional Celtic cross. That's really what we are doing. And maybe that's one reason it has amazing, calming, and centering effect. Because everything comes back to center, even as it loops out this way and it loops out that way.

As you become more present with this form, your awareness will go more deeply into the movements. It will not just be a movement. It will be your whole energy shifting out. Your whole awareness flowing back in. And so you are slowly achieving integration. That is what you are doing,

The way this works, is ordinarily your ego consciousness is fragmented. It's very jangled — one piece is here, one piece is there, and this part of me wants to do that, and this part of me has a desire for this. And this one says I have to go pay my rent. And this one says I need to deal with my husband or my wife. Or my kid or whatever.

There are all these different voices and they are all pulling you in different directions. Naturally, your chi will be scattered. Well, we are gathering those fragments, and looping them all back together. Linking them up, smoothing them out, and taking them back into their natural center. That's essentially what's going on with this form. All those fragments of yourself are being gathered back into inner space, from where you originally projected them out into the world.

Brings it all together	Rated 10 out of 10
I purchased the DVD initially for Primordial Qigong and it seems easy enough to learn, but still did not quite explain the repeated movements. After purchasing the audio CD's for Primordial QiGong, it helped to fill in the gaps and helped my understanding of the form and helps it all make sense. The background information and the questions and answers really brought it all together for me, and so hence I found the audio CD's really essential in my completely integrating the form into a daily practice. Thanks! George Cunningham - Rathdrum, ID
instant wonderment	Rated 9 out of 10
I received this package from my daughter. I am a TaiJi teacher and student of many forms. I was introduced to this form a few years ago (1 time) and have never forgotten how it made me feel. So now having the cd's and dvd's to work with is fabulous. The only reason I rated it at a 9 is because the cd's volume changes and can be a little rough at times. Please put me on your email list.

A Magical Form - and Michael Winn does it masterfully!	Rated 8 out of 10
I had no previous experience with Tai Chi or Qigong before ordering this video but there is something magic about the way it makes you feel and its ability to connect you to something greater! Michael Winn does his forms with such mastery and passion. You really get a sense for his love of the craft Some other teachers of this form I have seen teach this form in a mechanical and lifeless way. I was disappointed in the speed of shipping and handling in this day of Amazon.com etc. When people order something they are excited to get it. Take away the technical points and service logistics and Michael Winn and Primordial Qigong are a 10. Dan - Spring Green, WI
Very Pleased	Rated 10 out of 10
I am finding this dvd very helpful in my Primordial Qigong Practice. I only have class once a week, and as we add new members almost every week, we often don't have the time to go through even one cycle of Earth and Heaven. I can practice at home and know that I am following Michael's form, which is what our class is based upon! Carrie E-D - Clemmons, NC,USA

Unexplainable!!!!	Rated 10 out of 10
I have studied judo, karate, tai kwan do, and tai chi at different times, over my sixty years of life. This primordial exercise has been the most beneficial in comparison to all the different studies taken as a young man and now a seasoned adult. I have disciplined myself to execute this form at least once a day, primarily, at the beginning of each day. The benefits are physical, mental and spiritual and so the discipline is "easy". This practice can help to bring one an abundance of insights into life's voyage. In comparison to other products I have purchased, this item has given me returns that cannot be expressed in words. Unexplainable.... John Jorif - Ocala, Florida USA

Review Primordial Qigong	Rated 1 out of 10
Review contents Exercises were performed patiently and conscientiously - they did NOTHING for me; complete waste of time and money. The hype re the great healers, etc. is without credibility. --------------------------- Reply from Michael Winn: This may be someone who is energetically not open to the marvelous benefits of this form, testified to by hundreds of people. About 5%=10% of people who try it say it doesn't work for them. But his negative judgmental comment denying others their reality suggest his resistance to his OWN healing. This could not take place unless he did the 100 days practice of this form daily. Alas, he is not one with that kind of drive or self-discipline. We cheerfully refunded his money and wish him well on his Way. ------------------ Andrew Treacy - Stuart, Florida
DVD review	Rated 4 out of 10
I was disappointed at the quality of the sound and filming of this DVD Due to the loud noise of the wind in the back ground. It was dubbed over to so that you can hear the instructions more clearly, but it was not done in a professional way. ------------------ Michael response: I had to laugh at this one. I threatened to re-do the video some years back and got howls of protests from dozens of people who loved the raw, PRIMORDIAL feel of the natural elements. But I did have certain sections dubbed over PROFESSIONALLY to make them more audible. What I think is really going on with some folks is that they are very accustomed to the highly controlled, closed-window, artificially lighted and sound-proof studio-made videos that define 99% of the videos made. I find these studio videos to be ENERGETICALLY DEAD. Tao is about absorbing the chi (Qi) from nature....so I know it's a struggle when everything is not as prettily packaged as we are used to, but that's part of the natural feel of life, in my humble opinion. --------------------------- Sleeping Tiger - LA,CA.
Review title - lovely form to learn!	Rated 8 out of 10
got this dvd about 2 years ago. the quality of the PRODUCTION is why i only gave it 8/10 - but the quality of the CONTENT is definitely 10/10!!! it is a lovely form to learn and the dvd will support you in learning it well - and as always - michael gives lots of intersting extras. i would have liked to see a longer interview with the Dr Zhu Hui (who has such a happy face!) - just to get a little more information on the form. but all round....a great healing form to learn without any overt/covert 'contamination' of martial applications. thank you michael.

Primordial Qigong	Rated 8 out of 10
Very easy to learn from at a basic level. When using the DVD along with the hard copy walk-through that came with it the content and quality is very good. Excellent for people unable to do more strenuous forms of Qigong/Tai Chi. Tony - MIllersville, PA
Easy to Follow	Rated 10 out of 10
This CD is easy to follow. Micheal Winn breaks all of the forms down step by step, then builds the process, so that the adept can begin practice right away. The video was a bit choppy in places, but not a problem. Well worth the money. Marylou M - Chinle, AZ
