I've mentioned this form on this forum before. Personally, it is one of the most fascinating things I know. I have done Lohan ofte oftne oftne over the years, but always end up giving up, because it is so hard to do it again and again and again.
Do any of you have similar troubles in your studies? How do you deal with this? I am trying to find fors that have similar effects. For instance, I suspect the Lohan Kung is actually a type of Wai Dan Qi Gong in which energy stagnates in the arms. At the end of the form, when one relaxes and brethes, that energy then flows back to the dantien, nourishing the qi channels and drawing energy from the mind (which makes one feel spiritual and more sensitive to Tian Qi.
I am tryin to do someting similar by doing the Horse Stance (Ma Bu) whilst holding my hand sup in the air, and the breathing / relaxing afterwards. I am also trying to reach similr spiritual states without Lohan Kung by doing basic Wai Dan standing Qi Gong first thing in the morning and then normal Katas / Forms in the afternoon.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
