Hi Sifu,

One slight concern. I'm going to review this again this week and see if I pick up something I missed before or if it just clicks this time around. But, I think I'm still not quite getting the idea and the feel of the hip roll from the early lessons of Stage 1. Don't know if it's a lack of beginner's mind or why, but I'll keep reviewing and hope it clicks.

Hi Sifu,

Well, after a back injury (not related to practice) that took two weeks to recover (still not totally healed) and a serious illness for my mother which also took weeks for recovery, and general life stuff getting in the way, I've finally increased my practice again from about 2 times a week to every day, twice a day.

I still owe you videos and for some reason I'm very intimidated by the idea. But, I'll start this week doing just a little at a time. Figure if I can just take the first step, maybe the flood gates will open.

Sifu,

Just finished a practice (Stage 1 week five and six material). Started and finished with Bitter Pill and Harvesting. Must be doing something wrong. Alignment must be off? Ended practice and shortly felt very agitated. It's not anything I can't handle, but definitely made me feel agitated and irritated. Any suggestions?
