I have done I think 4 practices now and 2 of them have the knocking on the body. I can feel a difference with the swinging arms (knocking on the door of life, I think?), shaking out and bouncing but I do not get the knocking stuff (sternum, belly, arms, legs). All I feel is super annoyed by it. Does anyone else feel this way? Today I was thinking of doing sun salutations or smthg else that makes sense to me when Lee's doing the knocking.

I am not a qigong expert by any means, but I think you're talking about tapping exercises? I found a couple of articles that explain it:

http://www.naturehealth.com.au/what-...igong-tapping/

https://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/...tapping-qigong

I think knocking is a form of tapping, but if anyone has a different take on it, I would be interested in hearing it. I've started practicing qigong and will admit that I'm am still learning. In fact, I hope I'll always be learning!

Ever since I bought the 30 Day Challenge dvd on Amazon, I have been doing it exclusively. Love the 7 minute segments, the beach setting, and that I can fit 1-3 in every day. I enjoyed it so much & feel so good, I am in the middle of round 2.

Simple explanation here: tapping Another - body tapping.

Not my favorite part of practices that have it either, but I view it as medicine and just do it.

The one that aggravates me most is meridian stretch, with the arms outstretched and rolling the head on the side. A little bit, okay, but during what I perceive to be a long session of M.S. I quit it and roll my head or do shoulder rolls.

A friend passed along a couple of the YMAA videos to me (thank you friend) and I just love these because Lee is smiling and seems happy to be there. He is solemn in the older ones. I hope there is another sale soon.

Lee's site sells only download/streaming access, but YMAA is offering a BOGO with a maximum of one free item per order.

I am so thankful for Lee's workouts and I have been doing them quite a bit lately with frozen shoulder.

Question for anyone who uses the app versions

Are they only downloadable to the device with the app (i.e. a phone or tablet) or can you transfer them after downloading?

I ask because I don't think I'd be able to follow along on a phone properly and get the movements right.

Thank you, shawnt and Pat58! I had forgotten to come back to this thread after I asked the question.
