I really think this video captures the Spirit of Water in Kai Chi Do. Do the breath and the movement and your mind quiets, and your energy starts to flow. Then your awareness expands and you feel connected to your Self and the Source of who you are. Give it a try.
The music is “Tara” by K-Liv, available on Jamendo.com
Here’s some raw footage from our sunrise Kai Chi Do on New Years Day. It makes a great 7 minute workout. I couldn’t help myself – I just leaped outta my chair and started rockin’ the Chi. Maybe it’ll have the same effect on you. The music is great! The first segment is “aum nama shivaya” by Wizard of ozO, and the second is “Choir Assembled” by Danilo Mazzeo.

We reminded everyone last week how important it is to do Kai Chi Do at your own pace. Doing the movements smaller and slower is a way that you can regulate the intensity of the experience.
Kai Chi Do is meditation in movement, a kind of aerobic yoga – helping you to connect with yourself, your Source, and others.
In this video, Charles Robinson leads you in some of the Kai Chi Do Basics. He introduces the powerful SA breath to help calm your mind and release resistance, and a few of the basic movements of Kai Chi Do: Chi Circles facing the Earth, Chi Circles facing the sky, Crossovers, Side Strikes, and Thrusts.
