About This Course

As you watch the videos, you may notice small deviations from the correct form in a few of the movement demonstrations. If you are unsure what the correct movement is, refer to the Level 1 Teachers’ Review course.

As teachers, we strive to do and teach the movements properly, but just as students will encounter movements that are inhibited by Qi flow, previous injuries, or habits, so too will teachers. This is normal and shouldn’t stop you from teaching.

When teaching, it’s important to know what movements you need to improve. You can film yourself to have a better idea of how you are actually doing the movements. When teaching the form, let your students know you currently have limitations making certain movements and ask them to follow your verbal instructions rather than copying your movements. Or, show one of the demonstration DVDs to demonstrate the movement.

When teaching, it’s helpful to let your students know that some movements may take longer to do properly depending on their physical condition and Qi flow. Assure them that they will still receive benefits from doing the method even with deviations from the proper form. Ask them to take an incremental approach to mastering the movements and to work on their form outside of practice. Remind them that the goal of practice isn’t perfection, rather, it’s to develop a good understanding of the method, do the Jingshen activities properly, and most of all, focus on deepening the good state.

Since the Tian Yuan Instructional Video Series was completed, there have been some changes to Ren Xue terms. These include:

1. Jingshen

In 2023, the Theory of Shen and Yi was revised to the Theory of Jingshen. With this came a couple of key changes:

• "Mind activity” changed to “Jingshen activity”, so where reference is made to "mind activity" in these videos, we now say "Jingshen activity".
• The word "mind" is not used in general. Instead, use the words "consciousness", "focus" or "awareness".

2) REN XUE may also be spelt Ren Xue.

Please refer to the updated Level 1 Teacher Training manual in the original, Guided, or Level 1 Teachers’ Review, for the current use of terminology.
