In this session, Robert addressed a range of thoughtful student questions, offering clear, grounded guidance that balanced practical considerations with deeper energetic understanding:

🔹 Preparing Materials for Stage 3 Practice – Clarification was offered around using pre-made punch bags and alternative fillings, emphasizing adaptability, personal capacity, and how intention and consistency matter more than rigid materials when supporting effective practice.

🔹 Fasting and Yi Jin Jing Practice – Insight was shared on how fasting can be approached in harmony with Yi Jin Jing, including considerations of timing, seasonality, and listening to the body’s signals so fasting supports vitality, balance, and long-term cultivation rather than depletion.

🔹 Heart Awareness and Dantian Awareness – Robert explored the differences between placing attention on the heart versus the dantian in continuous practice, explaining how each center offers distinct qualities of guidance, perception, and integration, and how they can work together as practice deepens.

Together, these reflections helped students feel supported in making practical choices, cultivating discernment, and trusting both embodied wisdom and inner guidance as they continue their Qigong journey.
