1. Preview to September HISA Combination TaeGeuk and Saam TaeGeuk Qigong
   1. One hand flows continuously doing TaeGeuk while other hand draws the Saam TaeGeuk
   2. Practice in this helps to unite both the left and right brain harmoniously.  Furthermore, sincere effort in this helps to, once in a while, have the practitioner feel no division between the perceived multiplicity of the universe.
   3. This is the second consecutive HST Susas practiced this at the end of class, so they should continue doing their home practice so they can assist others effectively in September.
