Explore qigong as cultivation of energy through simple standing and seated movements, breathing techniques, and the eight pieces of brocade to enhance health and wellbeing.
Begin with a centered standing posture, feet under shoulders and soft knees, relax the shoulders, elbows, hands, and feet, elongate the spine and breathe as if pulled from the crown.
Perform a slow centering exercise that connects heaven and earth by raising the hands on inhale and lowering on exhale, uniting yang and yin energies.
Cleansing exercises use trembling and shaking movements to release tension from fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, chest, and legs.
Perform standing meditation by visualizing a bright yang-energy light opening at the crown and descending through the head, down the center to the lower duncan below the navel.
Visualize roots growing from the soles of your feet deep into the earth, anchoring your energy to the earth beneath your feet during standing meditation.
Engage in standing meditation to shake and release tension from fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, chest, and legs, promoting cleansing and renewed ease.
Guide energy through the microcosmic orbit, circulating yin and yang along the back governing vessel, front conceptual vessel, with inhale up and exhale down, opening to the side.
Move hands in front of abdomen in circles to circulate energy from base of spine up the back, down to pubic bone, bending and straightening the knees, while breathing deeply.
Upholding heaven shows you how to pause in posture, align the abdomen and spine, soften the shoulders, elongate the spine, and raise the hands in Qigong practice.
Practice pulling the bow qigong movement with wide steps and crossed arms, extending one arm, pulling the bow, and releasing on inhale and exhale, alternating sides and returning to center.
Practice qigong grounding exercises that focus on the abdomen, with one end rising and the other descending, while the hands hold a ball and fingers point toward the center.
Center your awareness by looking behind the abdomen and opening the chest center, then extend your body and listen as you explore balance on the opposite side.
