Wu Style Classic Neigong Set

[Anonymous]

I am practicing Wu Style Taichi. We do have a separate Neigong set of 24 excercises. Of which i am sure every advanced practitioner is aware. It is a very important part of the practice. I guess the same set exists in the Yang style.

I’ve started incorporating openings and closings in it as I go throught the openings and closings circle. But the question is where exactly to close and to open?

Lets take “Jade Rabbit pounds the drug of immortality”.
I can imagine and see logic in both ways. We can open while inhaling and going up and raising hands. But we can also close while inhaling and going up – the chi goes from hands and feet to dantyan and with exhaling goes down to the palms and feet hile the body goe down to mabu – this also makes sense. I’ve tried both variants and they seem to produce different effect.
Or maybe we should do it in different phases – open legs while hands close and vice versa.

Which is the correct one or which should be practiced first?
Thank you.
