Perfecting Practice.

There are many stories of failed starts to practicing. In order to be effective, your form and intent must be correct. Now that you have started practicing, focus on perfecting your practice.

With your initial start, you should be well into practicing for at least 5 minutes. While even this minimal practice time will help... it is much like making a minimum payment on your credit card bill. To get ahead on your "health debt" and reverse your cancer, you must invest heavily, consistently and progressively. 

Perfecting your practice is a multi-dimensional goal. Look at the time, the position, your mindset during practice... all with the goal of maximizing your results of gathering healing life-energy.

Note that we are discussing the closed hand method here only. The facing hand standing and the sitting positions are advanced positions. Master Li's book 'Resurrecting from Cancer" is recommended when you are ready to move to the advanced positions. 

Perfecting Your Time.

Start adding to your ZiJiu practice time. move as soon as you can to 10 minutes. Increase gradually to get to a goal of 30 minutes. A person trying to reverse cancer needs a goal of 1 hour. The "3 hour club" will have very positive results, but should be a longer term goal.

Tips for perfecting your time:

• Practice with a partner. Having a second person is very motivational (you can even compare results) and has the added benefit of improving the ambient life-energy. 
• Practice everyday. You must be consistent. Your health has not been your priority, now it must be. You can only invest in your health, if you allow the time to invest.
• Like setting a budget for your money, set a budget (or schedule) for your time.
• Practicing ZiJiu must be a core part of your daily routine... like bathing.

Perfecting Your Position.

The position and surroundings are extremely important. Master Li has spent years of research to find the exact position for the maximum results. To ensure that your position is perfect, you can join a home-based practice site in your area or, after reviewing the DVD, have someone take pictures of your position then compare them for your self.

Tips for perfecting your position during practice:

• Stretch before practicing.
• You knees should be bent from 60-45 (the optimal) degrees.
• Your arms should be perpendicular to your body with your hands about 7 inches from your face. 
• Your back should be straight yet not tense, not leaning back, not leaning forward.
• Your lower abdomen and anus should be held tight, but do not roll your pelvis forward.
• Your feet should be shoulder width apart. 
• Do not move during practice. 
• Breathing should be silent and relaxed from the lungs (upper torso) not the abdomen.
• Persparation is expected and can be a sign that your position is good.
• Check your direction. Each season has its own direction.
• Check your time. The best time for practice is at night. 11PM-12AM or 3AM-5AM are actually optimum.
• Check your place. Try to practice outside. Ambient life-energy is much higher outside.
• Also life-energy is much more abundant in groups. Joining (or starting) a Home-Based ZiJiu Practice Site is a perfect way to get an immediate jump on gathering life-energy.

Perfecting Your Mindset.

The best mindset is an empty mind. No thoughts during practice. It's at this point, with a strong position, that the spirit takes over and you begin to gather healing life-energy. This is the regenerative life-energy, like that of an unborn child in its mother's womb. This is the goal.

Achieving an empty mind actually may be the hardest, yet the most rewarding. At first, your concentration on the position will consume all your thoughts. Your mind will be filled with thoughts of the initial pain of the position.  But, as Master Li points out, "at least you are now focusing on your body and on your health -  that is a positive change from your debtor past".

Some tips to improving your mindset:

• Don't try to shut out your thoughts. It will happen naturally with practice. 
• During your stretching, clear your time and mind. 
• Tell yourself that this is your healing time. Time for you to be selfish.
• While practicing, don't think about before practicing or after practicing. This is your healing time.
