As I awaken I organize the qi field for my day often lifting up the Eight Zhineng Qigong Phrases in my heart. A few days after returning from teaching in Mexico with the richness of that qi field still alive in my being, this poem opened up.

This was written on a crowded airplane in 2008. It came to me to pass some of the time practicing. I began visualizing the opening sequence of Lift Chi Up Pour Chi Down, and the images that came to me were so vivid I pulled out some paper and it became a poem. After the opening sequence I simply dissolved, I could not even visualize the next movements, all was chi.
