The basic principles of qigong 1
After a short talk we start with finding your balance whilst moving forwards, backwards and side to side. We look at posture and lengthening the spine and opening the body.
You are then introduced to circular movements and whole body movement.
We talk a bit about the energy centres and identify some of the energy channels that are used in Wild Goose Qigong.
We do exercises to balance and energise the 5 major organs.
By practising some movements from Wild Goose forms (mostly the 1st 64 movements) you will learn
* Shifting body weight for free flowing movements
* Creating circular movements whilst feeling the qi flow inside the body
* Using wrist and waist co-ordination to relax ourselves
* Stretching out with reverse abdominal breathing
This is a general guide as everyone is different and need different amounts of practice to embed the principles.
Qigong, like yoga, is a life long study and requires daily practice to maintain the benefits. Try to put aside 10 minutes a day when you first begin.
