This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a fresh take on one of the most popular Chinese Qigong routines-The Eight Pieces of Brocade. The Eight Pieces of Brocade or Ba Duan Jin in Chinese, has been popular for centuries. Its popularity spawning many variants, with typical explanations of the routine concentrating on its physical aspects. Those physical aspects are important, but they are only part of the story. The real message of the routine lies in its engagement of the body's bio-energy system. The body's bio-energy or qi and its cultivation via the acupuncture points and meridians are literally "where it's at" for internal qigong practitioners. The body's energetic transport system plays a vital role in all true Chinese internal arts, yet this topic is rarely addressed in contemporary literature. The hands and the body posture form specific energetic connections at important acupuncture points. Awareness of this single aspect can dramatically impact the results achieved by qigong practice. This text opens the door to a better understanding of the art of qigong. (Second Edition)

Book excerpt: Da Yan - Wild Goose Qigong The 2nd 64 movements From ancient times, Qigong was developed as a way of helping improve people's quality of life. It's an important component of the Chinese medical health systems. The art of Qigong consists primarily of meditation, relaxation, physical movement, mind-body integration and breathing exercises. When the mind and body come into a state of balance, stress is reduced and there is an increase in health and longevity. The 2nd 64 Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong movement set deals primarily with the 'pre-natal body' and refers to the energy we gather from the universe and from our ancestors before birth. Having dredged the channels in the 1st 64 movement set, the 2nd 64 movement set is designed to clear the channels to absorb fresh Qi, expel stale Qi and to restore organ balance. The twisting, stretching, bending and pressing movements produce stronger Qi fields and intensify the circulation through the energy channels. In the 2nd 64 movement set the goose is embarking on a great journey and flies out from this world to the edge of the Milky Way, to pick the herbs or gather the pre-natal Qi from the core of the universe.

Download or read book Ba Duan Jin Qi Gong written by Eduardo Barrios and published by Muras Publications. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ba Duan Jin Qi Gong-A Health Restoring ExerciseBa Duan Jin Qi Gong is an ancient set of breathing exercises designed to regulate and improve the function of the internal organs, increasing blood and vital energy circulation.These simple set of eight exercises can take a minimum of five minutes to perform. However, the longer you practice these movements for, the greater are the benefits. Each position can be practised individually as required for as long as you physically can.We believe that 28.9 minutes is an appropriate benchmark to have good health benefits through the practice of Ba Duan Jin. However, consistency is the key here, with fully relaxed, slow, deep breathing pattern. Two breathing methods can be used when practising this Qi Gong, either the Taoist Reverse Breathing or the Buddist Natural breathing. From the martial arts point of view, the reverse breathing is more appropriate for some people. However, the natural, Buddist breathing is most adequate for everyone else. Both of these are talked about in the book as well as some of the relevant medical theories used to create Ba Duan Jin Qi Gong.This book is divided into brief background overview, focusing mainly on the medical theories related to Ba Duan Jin, exercises to raise the Qi and the actual form with some brief guidelines, including a section on anatomical pressure points that are activated or focus on when practising Ba Duan Jin. The author has over thirty years of Chinese martial arts experience and Qi Gong practice, as well as a practitioner of Orthopaedic Acupuncture.

Download or read book Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong Volume 1 written by Bruce Frantzis and published by Blue Snake Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practiced by millions in China to release stress and maintain robust health, Dragon and Tiger qigong is also used to help prevent and heal cancer and to mitigate the effects of radiation and chemotherapy. It uses simple body movements to accomplish the same chi balancing as acupuncture. Each movement is designed to stimulate not just a single meridian but groups of meridians. In Chinese medicine, the tiger is a metaphor for a strong, healthy liver and powerful muscles, and the dragon is a metaphor for healthy and strong lungs. The Dragon and Tiger form accomplishes three major changes in the body necessary for healing: it releases stagnant chi energy; increases the speed, strength, and evenness of the circulation of chi, blood, and other fluids; and quickly raises the body's energy levels to boost its natural healing capacities.
