BAGUA DOUBLE PALM CHANGE

AND -THE EARTH VERSION- OF
THE SINGLE PALM CHANGE

NEW ONLINE CLASSES

I CHING BAGUA

The Double Palm Change is the yin to Single Palm’s yang. Together, these two palm changes form the foundation of the entire bagua system for health, martial applications and spiritual pursuits. Whereas the Single Palm Change is a short and relatively simple form, Double Palm allows the practitioner to sink into the depths of their practice to experience bagua’s unique style of movement, and how it transforms the body, energy and mind.

Paul always recommends starting with the Single Palm Change. The Double Palm Change is much longer, more physically demanding and more complex than the Single Palm Change. With this in mind, Paul has designed this year-long course to teach the choreography and internal (neigong) techniques in layers to build your bagua skillset.

WHAT’S IN THE COURSE

Three streams of monthly lessons seamlessly join together into one, integrated practice:

• Stream 1 - Circle Walking and Energy Postures

• Stream 2 - The Earth Version of the Single Palm Change

• Stream 3 - The Double (or Earth) Palm Change.

1) Circle Walking & Energy Postures

1 x lesson on each per month

This stream forms the foundation of bagua, where you learn how to Walk the Circle — the engine of bagua — with many refinements while holding ever-more demanding postures in a sequence to open up the body and generate qi.

• In year one (see the Single Palm Change), Paul taught three- and two-part stepping techniques along with five energy postures.

• In year two, he teaches four-part stepping and adds four new postures for a total of nine — including Posture Zero and the eight symmetrical postures classically used to open up the subtle energy anatomy of the practitioner.

You will deepen and refine the three- and two-part stepping along with the postures covered in year one to release deeper layers of tension and hone your skillset.

2) Single Palm Change: Earth Version

1 x lesson per month

There are eight primary versions for practising the Single Palm Change, with each corresponding and adhering to the specific qualities of one of the eight trigrams.

• In year one, Paul presented the Heaven Version of the Single Palm Change (SPC): the pure SPC corresponding to the first Heaven trigram of the I Ching.

• In year two, Paul presents the SPC as influenced by the Earth gua, the second of the eight guas in the Pre-Heaven sequence. This version of the SPC maintains the same stepping and turning sequence as the Heaven Palm, but the arm movements are morphed to emphasise different neigong. Practising in this way yields a completely different quality of qi.

3) The Double Palm Change

1 x lesson month

Paul works through 12 distinct layers for generating a deep, strong and effective Double Palm Change over the course of the year. The training will start with a very loose and relaxed form and, working from the outside in, help you grow health, vitality, strength and flexibility — both externally and internally.

This is a comprehensive course to learn the choreography and internal techniques that power bagua palms in a concise, 12-month curriculum.

4) Taoist Breathing
& Meditation Series

When you sign up, you’ll also receive instant 24/7 streaming access to Paul’s 23 guided practices on whole-body breathing and Outer Dissolving.
