Combining Energy Gates Qigong with dragon tiger Qigong

Hello there, I hope things are well.. perhaps one who is a cert-instructor might respond (and any other practitioners with exper of these sets), just two-sense from one who-has-practiced both of those sets (not in this way.. I usually combo-Dr&T with G.Playing, while I do Egates separate, mainly per note following)…
………….
in short, can you? I haven’t heard any counter-directions.. and I think that can be helpful ( you might try a session as you mention and perhaps compare it to a session where you do Dr&T first and then the Std-CloudHands… and compare to doing them separately.. how do each compare?)

The only thing I’d recommend is tuning-in to what the overall-feeling of each of the sets (Dr&T, each of the moves and the entire, seems- to me- to have a certain flavour ~mood,,
and Egates has a different flavour ~mood/tone.. etc

* (personally I find Opening the Egates: Std, CloudHands… also I find the swings and the spinal-release complete that.. even if each done for a few minutes, or moments each) even if the “swing” is more a slowturn to the side, and only barely shift weight and hands-arms only arc-raise an inch or a few- vs the fully “swing”.. feel that same connection of CloudHands, yet passive.. even just a few turns of each of the 3 swings, and then the spine-release sort of runs-your-mind through the connections of body-E over time that coats your system a bit; and many make it more and more familiar (and thus change-reveal something.. I’m talking after months and such). -all this based on how what you wrote implied, to me, that you don’t do those parts of your practice. Just a thought (do what works for you, and feels right, all 70% -cheers.
………………
(and thus doing one, adjust your mind and E to it, and then when you transition at the end, to “normal life” or to the other qigung set adjust your tuning to that other tone.. if that makes sense thus as you mention, feel the flavour of CloudHands; and rather than just starting Dr&T move#1.. nor to break your flow… to have the same sense of flow in your practice session- still “on” but not just feel “I’m doing something different now.” as a result, but to adjust yourself in that transition.

-also I find that Opening the Egates (pretty great, and I find that the set is pretty advanced, ie tricky to get it, and not really basic, as a set like Dr&T or Marriage of H&E, even G.Playing, you can do the phy movements approx and get the feel.. but to do CloudHands without int’l connection is Frankenstein clunky.. but that is me.)

I like your comment about the “flavour” of different sets.

I do Dragon & Tiger in the morning because Movement 7 has a spiritual flavour for me.
I coordinate movements with the Five Elements.
For example in Movement 7:
For the Water Element,
the Black Dragon soars to Heaven and brings back the Pearl of Wisdom;
For the Fire Element,
the Red Dragon soars to Heaven and brings back the Pearl of compassion.
So for the rest of the day I have virtuous qualities in reserve in my Lower Tantien to be given to those in need ( Tonglen)
