In this session, Robert explored the origins of Yi Jin Jing and addressed several practical questions to help students refine their practice.

🔹 Resting the Tongue on the Upper Palate – This gesture at the beginning of practice simply signals awareness of the energetic circuit between yin and yang meridians. The tongue should rest gently, not press, serving as a reminder rather than forcing a connection.

🔹 Yawning at the End of Practice – Yawning with a full stretch acts as a whole-body reset, helping refresh the nervous system, release tension, and reorganize energy after practice.

🔹 Reverse Abdominal Breathing – Robert explained that Moderate Fire helps awaken and release internal energy, while Strong Fire applies controlled resistance during exhalation to direct that energy through movement.

🔹 Modifying Movements – If physical limitations prevent full movement, practitioners can adapt the motion while visualizing the full stretch, allowing the energetic intention to remain effective.

Together, these insights helped students deepen their understanding while keeping the practice flexible and accessible.
