Welcome To This Course
Welcome to this course entitled Qi Gong for beginners. You will notice that we use the term Qi Gong, Ki Gong and even Chi Gong throughout this course. They all mean the same thing. And you will learn this throughout the course.
MOST IMPORTANT!
Please make sure you get a journal so you can wrtie down your experiences throughout this course. Going back and looking at the changes in you in written format is so important. If you are anything like me, I used to think I could keep it all in my head.
Let me share this with you. As soon as I started writing down my experiences, the faster the training had an effect on me. In fact I have gone back to training I did many years ago and realised that was the first time I felt that. Now it has become part of my everyday experience.
THIS COURSE IS ALL ABOUT YOU!
Keep monitoring yourself as you go through this course. Any good or bad experience should be written down. Learning the moves and techniques is all good. But how they are making you feel is so much more important.
HAVE FUN!
Always have fun when you are practising Ki Gong. Bring your imagination back to being a child again. Keep that Tao smile behind your face so as to tell your brain you are happy. Good news makes good brain. And keep writing down your experiences as they happen. This is so important.
And keep softening your body with your mind. Get into the quantum level of your energy body which is 99.9999% space. Tap into that empty feeling and you will be becoming more advanced in your Ki Gong practise.
I look forward to connecting with you soon.
Until then, be well and keep shining.
Peter. :)
How Can Qi Gong Help You2:45
As the world seems to be getting more stressed out, and more people are in a hurry to get nowhere, there's a solution to this.

I was caught up in this race to seeing how much stress you can take without managing it properly.

Below is a wealth of information about Qi Gong and the practise I teach, which is the Korean style called Ki Gong.
Stress - Anxiety - Depression - Overwhelm - Exhaustion
You Can Ease All These Problems, And More With Qi Gong.
What Is Qi Gong?4:17
Ki-gong (Qi Gong) is a form of ancient Asian healing art. The main focus of this healing art is to combine the mind, the breath and the body. Ki Gong helps to achieve a healthy flow of energy around the body through the meridian channels, while strengthening the body and lungs.

While we gather the energy into the lower body, we make the legs and lower body strong, while making the upper body flexible and light. The focus on the breath enables the body to restore a natural functioning of the respiratory system, which really helps the practitioner to experience the true power of Ki Gong.

So when you practice the healing art of Kookhak Ki Gong, you will start to experience a healthy, strong and flexible body, together with a calm and focused mind. Kookhak Ki Gong is a freestyle form of Ki Gong developed by Ilchi Lee and his Brain Education System, recognised by the UN as a healing art form.
What Are The Origins Of Qi Gong?3:13
It is difficult to pinpoint the origins of Qi Gong. But it definitely has its routes in the real ancient practise of Yoga. Buddhism came down to South East Asia and brought with it some of the elements of Yoga that was taught in India. This is where the Shaolin Monks thought to have invented their Kung Fu and Qi Gong forms from this practise.

According to Qi Gong.com, the Yong book, the book of changes, was created before 1122 BC until the rise of the Han Dynasty, which brought even more influence from India.

Qi Gong has had many influences on the actual healing art, which is why it is so diverse today. It truly is a healing art of the 21st Century, which will be able to prevent many of the chronic illnesses we are seeing today in our modern world.

What Are The Three Main Principles Of Qi Gong?11:41
The three main principles of Kookhak Ki Gong are as follows -

Water Up - Fire Down
Where Your Mind Goes, Your Energy Follows
The Three Treasures

Water up fire down is the ideal energy circulation for the body to have. The brain works best when it is cool. The lower abdomen works best when it is warm. So for your body to be healthy, you need this flow of energy. The water up is the cooling energy of the Kidneys. The fire down is the heat energy of the heart. When you have finished your Qi Gong session, always check to see if the back of your neck is cool.

Where your mind goes your energy follows. Living in this age of information, the mind can be like a time traveller. Going back and forth to the past and the future and repeating this over and over again. The body is always in the present. When we start to realise that where our mind goes, our energy follows, we can see that we can bring more energy into the body by focusing our attention there.

The Three Treasures. These are your three Dahn Jons. These are your energy centres of the body. The lower Dahn Jon is for the energy of power, passion and creativity. The middle Dahn Jon is for love, empathy and compassion. The upper Dahn Jon is for natural wisdom, vision and intuition. You can see that it is important to have all your Dahn Jons full of new energy.
How The Energy Body Works3:47
Everyone is familiar with the physical body. But what about the energy body? The physical body is made up of our flesh and bones. And our internal structure like the endocrine system, the internal organs and more. People who are getting into a better health and well being practise start to look after the physical body.

But what about the energy body. With the new understandings of modern science, we realise our energy body creates the matter of the body. That is, it gives our body a blueprint for form. We accept that our five senses have their specific areas of expertise. Our energy body works in a similar way, with areas of the body dealing with specific energy traits the body has.

Understanding the energy body means you can have a truly holistic approach to health and well being. You can change your energy and actually start to focus on where you want to put your energy.

Three Elements To The Eenergy Body

The Energy Body has three main elemetns to it. The Chakras, known as Dahn Jons in this practise, the meridians and the acupressure points. The 12 major meridians of the body are the lung, the large intestine, the stomach, the spleen, the heart, the small intestine, the bladder, the kidney, the pericardium, the triple burner, the gall bladder and the liver meridian. All these meridians are worked on in the live classes at the Bright Beings Academy.

There are other meridians in the body like the Governing Vessel and the Conceptual vessel. Meridians allow the flow of energy around the body. This has now been proven scientifically.

You can look at the energy body in this way. We have the Three Dahn Jons or Seven Chakras as the major cities of the body. The meridian lines are the transport system, and the accupressure points are like the small towns and villages in your country. The country is the body.
The energy body is thought to be the spiritual aspect of Qi Gong. This is because it has an element of mysticism about it. That is, it is not as easy to know what each part of the energy body does. Unlike the physical body, which is easy to understand.

Description

Welcome to "Qi Gong for Beginners" – a transformative journey into the ancient art of harmonising mind, body, and spirit. In this course on Qi Gong, you'll uncover the profound principle of "Water Up, Fire Down" – a concept that transcends mere movement, guiding you to redirect energy from the head to the lower Dahn Jon, creating a remarkable shift within.

Imagine flipping the pyramid of energy within yourself – moving away from the frenetic pace of the mind and guiding that powerful energy downwards. This shift isn't just about physical movement; it's a profound journey towards balance, calmness, and vitality, which Qi Gong will give to you when you practise regularly.

In the midst of our fast-paced Western lifestyle, the mind often races tirelessly, leaving us feeling drained and disconnected. Qi Gong offers a sanctuary amidst this chaos, providing a path to stillness and inner peace. Through gentle movements, breath work, and focused intention, Qi Gong becomes a bridge to tranquillity, allowing the busy mind to find solace and clarity.

But the benefits extend far beyond mental calmness. Qi Gong's impact ripples through the physical, emotional, and spiritual realms. It enhances flexibility, strengthens the body, and supports overall well-being. It's a practice that not only cultivates physical health but also nurtures emotional resilience and fosters a deeper connection with oneself and the world around us.

By enrolling in this course, you'll embark on a journey that transcends the ordinary – learning foundational Qi Gong techniques, harnessing the power of "Water Up, Fire Down," and experiencing the transformative effects of this ancient practice first-hand.

Join me in this exploration of Qi Gong, where we'll unlock the secrets of harmonising the body's energy, cultivating vitality, and embracing a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I look forward to guiding you on this enriching journey of Qi Gong practice and discovery!

Until then, be well and keep shining.

Peter. :)
