One of baguas most important foundation practices involves holding your arms in a static
position while straight-line walking or Circle Walking. As you walk and change direction,
your arms remain fixed in space relative to your body. Each posture is designed to develop
the eight energy bodies in very specific ways. Practice of energy postures prepares you for
doing the more dynamic moving practices of bagua, such as the Single Palm Changei.
Many dozens of bagua energy postures are widely practiced within various bagua schools. All
derive from a complete system of two hundred bagua energy postures, which was developed
within the Taoist monastic tradition. Each posture opens up specific energy lines at many
different levels within the body.
All bagua energy postures are designed to serve three primary purposes:
Physically open and strengthen specific areas of the middle or upper body.
Seamlessly open, connect and integrate different parts of the arms with all parts of the
torso, spine, head, waist, hips and legs.
For intermediatesconnect specific energy channels and flows within the physical
and etheric energy bodies and, in more advanced practices, your other energy bodies
as well.
