Course content

3 sections • 47 lectures • 2h 45m total length

  • Welcome3:04

    In this first lecture you can meet the course tutor and designer, Andy Wright. You'll see and hear about his life and work, with testimonials from real people/students (he teaches classes daily as well as on line). His work encompasses teaching in NHS hospitals as well as Sport Centres and for charitable organisations such as Parkinson Society and MS Society.


    In 2014 he had major back surgery that did not go right, and subsequently could not WALK and working was nearly impossible. But his recovery was entirely due to diligent practise of qigong daily and now, 2 years later, he is able to ditch the rollators and wheelchairs for a single stick. The prognosis is not good, because it is likely that he now requires another operation due to loosening screws causing pain.

  • History and Benefits of Shibashi Qigong8:18

    Welcome to Shibashi Qigong Set Two. I was introduced to this series by my Shiatsu instructor Chris Jarmey. It formed an important part of our energy warm up and fitness routine before treatment of clients.

    Simple to learn and practise, you should make time everyday to run through the 18 moves, performing 6 or 12 of each move.

    In this lecture we'll show you a very brief overview of the history and benefits of practising Shibashi.

  • How will it help you?3:22

    More details on the qigong set and how it benefits people who practice regularly.

  • The 18 Moves in Detail3:34

    Here are the full details for each of the moves in the set with full details of each movement.

  • Overview of Objectives and Health Benefits1:50

    Overview of Objectives and Health Benefits

  • Description of Movement One2:56

    REGULATING THE QI

  • Practice of Movement One1:33

    Movement One is the opening gambit of the set. The similarities to first moves of previous and future sets can be seen clearly in the form itself, drawing energy up from the earth.

  • Description of Movement Two3:36

    ZHOU TIAN CIRCLES (microcosmic orbit)

  • Practise of Movement Two1:30

    Movement Two has connections with the "microcosmic orbit", following the pathways of the REN and DU meridians that run up and down the centre line of the whole body, from head to perineum. Aim to move energy along this line, using your thoughts.

  • Description of Movement Three3:25

    WIND BLOWING THE WILLOWS

  • Practice of Movement Three2:09

    Movement Three is a very beautiful move, which forces relaxation into your form. Having a wider stance with bigger movements will ensure the physical aspects of performing qigong are not neglected.

  • Description of Movement Four3:55

    SEARCHING FOR NEEDLES

  • Practise of Movement Four1:58

    Movement Four is challenging for the fact that it encompasses physical stances not before encountered in set one. The essential nature of being mindful, allows many fold energy meridians to be included in this movement, for example, bladder, liver, stomach, and more.

  • Description of Movement Five3:22

    FISHERMAN CASTING THE NET

  • Practise of Movement Five1:27

    Movement Five is all about casting the net wide and round, in the real life scenario of fishing. The documentary TV channels are good for showing the exact actions required for Chinese fishing on their programmes about the traditional Chinese people. The net in question is 3-4 foot in diameter, and thrown aside a narrow boat in which the operator stands.

  • Description of Movement Six3:33

    IMMORTAL POINTING THE WAY

  • Practice of Movement Six1:30

    Movement Six is the first of the more challenging moves in this set. The combination of arms and cross-legged stances, will require attention and practise.

  • Description of Movement Seven3:32

    MISCHIEVOUS BOY KICKS OUT

  • Practise of Movement Seven1:51

    Movement Seven - be aware of your balance as you perform the move.

  • Description of Movement Eight3:39

    HOLY CRANE WORSHIPS THE MOON

  • Practise of Movement Eight1:32

    Movement Eight, the second of the more challenging moves, involving a cross-legged stance combined with arm movements.

  • Description of Movement Nine3:36

    YELLOW DRAGON PUSHES OUT WITH CLAWS

  • Practise of Movement Nine1:15

    Movement Nines requires a wide stance with knee bending to a comfortable level, ensuring the back is straight and upright.

  • Description of Movement Ten3:23

    PULL THE BOW, SHOOT THE EAGLE

  • Practise of Movement Ten1:56

    Movement Ten resounds a set one's "paint the rainbow" and "parting the clouds" joint effort.

  • Description of Movement Eleven3:46

    DRAGONS EMERGING FROM THE SEA

  • Practise of Movement Eleven2:46

    Movement Eleven will have resonance with people who know about yoga, because there are influences here. Watch your balance as you move forward/down.

  • Description of Movement Twelve6:33

    CROSSING THE WILD BLUE OCEAN

  • Practise of Movement Twelve2:44

    Movement Twelve draws on two concepts; pushing the waves and moving side to side. This is a lot of foot shifting in this move, so make observations of the demonstration and how to move the feet.

  • Description of Movement Thirteen3:24

    LION PLAYING WITH A BALL

  • Practise of Movement Thirteen1:45

    Movement Thirteen is seemingly and unexplainably difficult for beginners to master, so make diligent practise time for this one.

  • Description of Movement Fourteen3:30

    EMBRACE THE MOON

  • Practise of Movement Fourteen1:04

    Movement Fourteen is the next version of set one's gazing at the moon, but an easier version due to less rotations. This one is performed towards 9 and 3 o'clock, rather than the usual 8 and 4 o'clock.

  • Description of Movement Fifteen3:30

    PHEONIX SPREADS ITS' WINGS

  • Practise of Movement Fifteen1:22

    Movement Fifteen is the next version of set one's flying goose. This one is performed towards 10 and 2 o'clock, but without moving the feet.

  • Description of Movement Sixteen3:18

    PUNCHING THE TIGER'S EARS

  • Practise of Movement Sixteen1:32

    Movement Sixteen introduces the concept of alternate stepping. The arms should be rounded with the fists at head height and shoulder width, with fist backs facing inwards, such as the way the horns of a bull look.

  • Description of Movement Seventeen3:42

    CIRCLING THE QI AT DANTIAN

  • Practise of Movement Seventeen0:45

    Movement Seventeen should be performed in a wider stance and make the rotations as large as you can, and ensure the circles move both directions.

  • Description of Movement Eighteen4:17

    CLOSING FORM (COLLECTING THE QI)

  • Practise of Movement Eighteen1:29

    Movement Eighteen is the last of the set, and ensures you finish the 18 moves as calmly as possible; drawing energy back down towards the earth.

  • Seated and Wheelchair Adaptations5:01

    Adaptations for wheelchair users and those needing to sit down.

  • Full Demonstration Set Two27:25

    A full demonstration of the entire set.

Requirements

  • Prior study of "wuji" stance and abdominal breathing is useful (see resources section for lectures)
  • Study of Set One may help knowledge of this set; however it is not essential

Description

Shibashi set two is a qigong set of 18 moves, simple to learn and perform but extremely effective for improving health. This set follows on from the previous set and you will see some commonality between them if you have studied the previous set.

The sets were developed by Chinese master Lin Hou Sheng and comprise movements taken from qigong and mainly Yang style tai chi forms. They each have specific functions to improve qi movement around the meridians, thereby improving health and preventing illness in the same way as acupuncture.

The course is easy to follow via video and spoken narrative, with slow motion for more difficult aspects of the movement (where appropriate). The set can be learnt fairly quickly, however the student must practise regularly to improve the effectiveness of each movement.

People learn qigong for a variety of reasons; mostly because they already have a condition that they wish to help improve, but in reality it works as a preventative system of simple exercise that relaxes the body and mind, without the hard work and exhaustion of other exercise programmes.

For the less able, it can also be performed seated. Students are advised to seek advice from their GP before taking up any form of new exercise programme, however the majority of GP's advise their patients to start practise of tai chi (qigong) as it is recognised as a good way to exercise safely.

Who this course is for:

  • This is for anyone wishing to learn a simple but beneficial Qigong set, no experience required
  • Anyone less mobile or able can perform the movements in the seated position
  • If in any doubt about your health and suitability of these moves, consult your GP/Doctor
