Hello Chi Factory Community and Sifu Kelley.

I have started the basic training as layed out in the first few vids, but have not had time to really delve into writing about my experiences thus far.  I hope to remedy that this week.

I wanted to also say how much i appreciate Sifu Kelley for sharing the teachings on such a level.  I have learned and taught kungfu, chen taiji, and some other misc arts over the years.  Getting such depth to instruction is a true rarity.

I went back to lesson 3 expand to absorb condense to project. While doing the seated meditation I noticed soon in to it that I had a warm sensation in the dantien it seemed to be horizontal circle and not a sphere. That was new. I have felt a kind of fulness there before but not to the point that it felt like an actual shape or that I could feel its specific dimensions. Later, I noticed my mid back becoming either tense or feeling a stretch  or maybe both.

While doing some training this morning, I noticed a tension or fullness on the bottom of my foot while doing the fajin exercises. That was a first! What's that about?
