What is Shing Yi Chuan?
The internal Martial Art of Mind intention and Body Shape
Shing Yi Chuan is an ancient Chinese Internal Martial Art of refining body shape and mind intention. It is based on the Five Elements and fundamental principals that are common to Tai Chi Chuan and Pa Qua.
I found Shing Yi Chuan to be truly amazing system, with a set of established rules of physiology and body kinetics, enabling me to flow naturally in harmony. It is a great gift I received and wish to share with society.
Although very structured, one can very soon feel connected. Practicing the basic theories of Yin & Yang, five elements, stillness & motions, empty & full, rising & falling, hard & soft, all comes to life, integrating body , mind and spirit.
The heart and soul of Shing Yi practice are the five elements. These simple actions can result in total Mind ?Body integration. They are directly related to many aspects of five Elements cosmology of traditional Chinese medicine.
Each element express a force with patterns of internal patterns, originated and corresponding to specific internal organs.
The Metal Element expresses the force of an Axe chopping down, and splitting the wood. It corresponds with the lungs and large intestine meridians. It work along the vertical circle in our body.
The Water element expresses the force of drilling, just like a rotating object. It corresponds to the Kidneys and the Urinary Bladder meridians. It works as a spiraling power out of our centre.
The Wood element expresses the force of crushing. It?s association is an arrow flying forward out of the centre. It corresponds to the Liver and Gall Bladder meridians. It works as a united movement of the hand, leg, hip and floating rib forward in a straight line.
The Fire element expresses the force of pounding. It?s association is a Canon explosive power. It corresponds to the Heart and Pericardium meridians. It works as an ultimate contract and expand of the
Upper body, similar to fire explosives.
The Earth element expresses the forces of crossing and wrapping. It?s association is of the rotation power of our planet. It corresponds to the Spleen and Stomach meridians. It works as a coiling power, surrounding and wrapping another object.
The element?s dual purpose begins with protecting the body by strengthening our internal organs, massaging and stimulating energy flow around and through them, and via the corresponding channels.
If practiced harmoniously, with a very focused mind, the elements will result in a very solid, consistent body, that can be applied for self-defense.
To be successful in this approach we have to go through several stages. First we must let the Mind teach the body. This is the Stage of learning new movements. We follow our Teacher?s body and simply copy the external shape. (Shing). The next stage is when we can perform the movements flowingly, while relaxing all unnecessary body parts. At this stage we start to feel. The body will now teach the mind (Yi).
It takes patience, perseverance and sensitive efforts to reach the third stage when the elements will be expressed by intention, resulting in a pure harmony of Mind- Body intention.
