Sung in Tai Chi

Differentiating Between Relaxing and Releasing Your Qi:

Tai Chi has two movements: Fan Sung (relaxation) and Sung (complete release).

A Special Two-Weekend Event for Health, Healing, and Power Development with Master Bruce Frantzis: Suitable for All Levels

What You Will Discover:

“The most common word that people hear when learning Tai Chi, even if they have been doing it for years, is the mantra of relax, relax, relax. However, according to the founding papers of Tai Chi, relaxation does not refer to people’s emotional states, as it does in the West. In the Tai Chi Classics, what is typically translated as relaxation is the word “Sung,” which has several implications, including release:

the release of all binding tension in the body. This goes well beyond simple relaxation. It is referring to the release of all stress right down to your bones. This is a far deeper relaxing and releasing than most people are aware of, and it does not happen by chance.

Many Tai Chi techniques are taught by demonstrating them on another person and saying, “This is what it is.” Although that is what it is, this technique does not advise you how to train for it. Watching a movie does not teach you how to make one. The emphasis of this session will not be on how well Bruce can perform Sung, but on teaching you the method so that you can do it yourself and teach it to others, which is the distinction between teaching and demonstrating.

Learning what is known as Sung in Tai Chi is traditionally taught in four phases, each of which builds on and is dependent on the preceding levels being steady. In all four stages, you must consciously put your mind within your body until you can recognise what your mind is contacting and cause your body to obey solely via mental command.”

Detailed Weekend and Progressive Stages Breakdown:

The first stage of relaxation is to relax your body, namely the most superficial muscles. Most people’s muscles are rather rigid and tense, both naturally and as a result of their lifestyle, particularly in their arms. They can’t move freely because they’re tense. Their natural power movement is inhibited. Most Western sports training has the specific objective of toning the muscles and making them tense.

This first stage is all about relaxing your body’s most outside muscles: your abs, triceps, biceps, quads, and all your other muscles so that when pressed, they become soft and move like a teddy bear. This level of relaxation allows you to reach what is beneath your skin and those exterior muscles: ligaments, fascia, tendons, and, finally, blood vessels.

This first stage is all about relaxing your body’s most outside muscles: your abs, triceps, biceps, quads, and all your other muscles so that when pressed, they become soft and move like a teddy bear. This level of relaxation allows you to reach what is beneath your skin and those exterior muscles: ligaments, fascia, tendons, and, finally, blood vessels.

Stage 2
Connecting your soft tissues to the insertion places inside your bones is the goal of this stage. After relaxing the surface muscles of the body in Stage 1, you’ll be able to feel what’s beneath your skin: ligaments, fascia, tendons, and, eventually, bones.

Before you may release what is beneath your skin and its contents, you must first be able to put your mind into any individual area of your body. As you relax your ligaments, tendons, muscles, and fascia, stretching the body from the bone and internal organs, your arm (for example) will lengthen from your body.

Meaning, if you were only able to stretch your arms out to say 30 inches from your spine, after obtaining Fan Sung, or relaxation, and overcoming the innate early contractions within the body, your arms could now travel as far as 33-35 inches. Relaxation is the inverse of any contraction.

The following stage is to release these soft tissues until you can feel how they connect to and fit into the deeper, bigger bones of the body. At this time, bending and extending your limbs, like stretching and releasing a rubber band, causes the soft tissues to stretch with a springiness, allowing you later access to the qi inside your bones. This is all part of the Neigong lengthening technique. This will produce a strong sense of ordinary relaxation by lessening the regular congestion within people’s muscles.

This is still Fan Sung, or leisure. This is done in stages until you can achieve this relaxed, bouncy soft tissue state all over your body. The contractions that prevent your body’s soft tissues from reaching their full, uncontracted (not relaxed) condition soften, relax, and are resolved during the process.

Weekend Two: Getting the Stabilised Structures to Become Fluid Stage 3 The third stage is similar to stretching and releasing a rubber band, but on a deeper level throughout the body: having the soft tissues of tendons, ligaments, and fascia do this with all the bones, so they, too, become soft and springy and release the innate tension that keeps the body from being as stretched as it should be, much like yoga postures do.

This piecemeal bending and stretching of the soft tissues inside your body begins to release everything inside your body, including your blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow through them both towards and away from the heart. When this is finished, the inside of the body has a sensed sense of tremendous space and freedom. This is accomplished first by concentrating on certain regions of the body – not just the bones and spine, but also the internal organs and other major structures – until you can execute this opening and closing with the entire body.

Now you’ll aim to bring your mind into your body and release any contractions there: not only the spine, arms, and so on, but everything. Even the blood vessels will relax and release, allowing them to operate at a submaximal level: allowing the blood vessels to have their greatest range of motion, either releasing within or expanding outward, without requiring maximal effort or strain.

This third stage is commonly performed while performing standing postures or variations of Qigong or Tai Chi. Water cannot be relaxed, but it can be converted into steam. In a pot, you have water. When it is boiled, it produces steam, which is subsequently released from the water. This procedure is carried out in stages, beginning with sections and progressing to the full body. Allow your mind to move through and contact everything inside your body so that it can be released like steam.

When you are able to genuinely begin releasing what is inside your body, a human will notice a few things: First, experience the blood moving through your body as a palpable substance. Concurrently, a person will begin to feel their Chi, just like they do their blood. Moving the chi intentionally moves the blood, and vice versa.

Stage 4: You’re currently deep inside the body. Begin by opening up all the blood vessels in your body through which your chi will flow, so that you can feel not just physical tissues and blood, but also the process of feeling your chi. Simultaneously, if you want to go even deeper, what you’re doing with your body allows you to go in and out of your heart-mind (Hsin), releasing whatever is stuck on mental and spiritual levels.

Sung’s last step is not simply specific areas of the body, but every component of the body and mind, without exception, everything done through the mind. Contraction in the body or mind obstructs the free passage of chi, and vice versa. At the 4th Stage of Sung, the entire body will be entirely relaxed and released at the same time.

Commonly Asked Questions:

1. Business Model Innovation: Accept the truth of a legitimate business! Our strategy is organising a group buy in which participants share the costs. We use these cash to acquire popular courses from sale pages and make them available to people with limited financial resources. Despite the authors’ worries, our clients love the cost and accessibility we give.
2. The Legal Environment: Yes or No The legality of our activity is ambiguous. While we don’t have specific permission from the course authors to resell the material, there is a technicality at work. The author did not specify any limits on resale when purchasing the course. This legal intricacy is both an opportunity for us and a boon for individuals looking for low-cost access.
3. Quality Control: Uncovering the Truth

Getting to the heart of the issue – quality. Purchasing the course straight from the sale page guarantees that all documents and resources are the same as those obtained through traditional channels. However, we distinguish ourselves by going beyond personal research and resale. It is crucial to note that we are not the official course providers, which means that the following premium services are not included in our package:

• There are no scheduled coaching calls or sessions with the author.
• Access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal is not permitted.
• No access to the author’s private membership forum.
• There is no direct email support available from the author or their team.

We operate independently, with the goal of bridging the pricing gap without the extra services provided by official course channels. Your comprehension of our distinct approach is much appreciated.
