Santishi Part One

Sun style Santi connections:
Builds upon the wu chi and Tai Chi postures
In addition to the 6 directions, there are many lines, triangles, etc. within the internal mechanics of Sun style Santishi. Yi Jin Jing is also a deeper component to Sun style. This requires the guidance of a teacher to do. Santi can also be done in a "yin/nutritive intention" or a "yang/force discharge intention". This also requires the guidance of a teacher to do.
Here are a few internal connections to get started. I hope to post more as time allows. As usual please feel free to contact me for more information.
Look up the point locations somewhere on the web if you are not familiar with the names.
Triangles:
1.) lead hand shenmen, tip of elbow, and heart one
2.) hip, knee cap,heel

Straight lines:
1.)baihui, huiyin, that line projected to earth
2.)shenmen, mingmen, heel

Don't forget to keep the spine/Du Mai extended and the Ren Mai relaxed. This last part is probably the most important.

Internal Connections of Sun Style Tai Chi posture Part 1

Next in line is the Tai Chi posture of the wu chi, tai chi, santi progression.
Here are a few simple connections of the tai chi posture to get you started:
Finger tips forward, ming men backward
Wrists up while sitting the sacrum down
Have the intention of the low back (kidneys) expanding side to side
Of course the chin is tucked causing GV 20 to be lifted, the ren channel is relaxed as the du channel is pulled tight by the above stated connections.

Internal Connections of Sun Style Wu Chi posture Part one

Here are just a few of the many internal connections that are within the wu chi posture of Sun style hsing yi chuan. As far as I know the connections appearing on my blog are not posted anywhere including the Sun style hsing i book. These connections are essential for developing wholebody power. Please work with them to see what you come up with. The clinic is slow right now so there will be time to write more connections for the taichi and santi postures.

In the interest of time I will give just a few for each of the 6 directions. You will notice these are yin/yang pairs:

Up: Bai Hui, tip of tongue to roof of mouth
Down: sacrum, shoulders
Forward: tip of thumbs
Backward: Mingmen (kidney region)
Side to side: scapula, heels split the earth
At all times relax the ren channel as the du channel has the intention of going upward.
