The Story in a QiGong Form




Every QiGong form has a purpose, provides a message to the body, and tells a story for the Qi to follow.  For example, my favorite Ba Duan Jin (Eight Precious Movements) form tells this story:

 The mind wafts down to the depths of blissful silence
Where the sun shines on the water so it can be seen
And clouds part to open towards golden rays 
All the way down to the little seed ready to grow, to transform, to Be what it is
Roots reaching down to absorb nourishment
And course this nourishment through every cell ready to awaken, Now
Breath
Blood
Vision
Movement
Life
Releasing all shadows that block the light
To feel Truth
To BE Truth
The Heart exquisitely embraces the Divine
So that Yin and Yang sing in perfect harmony
Let It Be So

Have you ever quietly considered what the Qi is doing in your body-mind as you perform the gentle movements with your breath?  It's poetically eloquent.

We choose different QiGong movements or whole forms based on what the body-mind-spirit needs in order to balance the Yin and Yang. A form is a series of movements that flow together to create a healing story.

 There are several hundred different forms that have been created, or intuited - some even say channeled, by various Taoist Masters over hundreds of years.  

 Each form consists of several movements that can also be used individually.

 When first starting out and wanting to choose the best form for you, either consult a QiGong teacher, a  Medical QiGong Energy Healer, or simply find a form on YouTube that feels good and you love doing.

 Then do it, preferably at the same time every day, for 100 days.  Beautiful things will happen.

Here's a link to our YouTube channel.  One of my Medical QiGong Energy Healing classes made some great QiGong videos to share:   https://www.youtube.com/user/OrientalHealingArts

Becoming An Energy Healer

When we start to study Energy Healing our life changes. Dramatically.  We have to expand our consciousness and our comfort level beyond the physical.  This means we have to learn how to see things differently, feel things in very subtle ways, hear whispers of guidance, and transcend our emotions.  At least this happens over a period of time, however it's not just an easy and uneventful transition. Living in the world of Energy is becoming acutely aware that everything exists first as Energy which then becomes Matter.  There are no exceptions. If you let this sink in, Energy Healing is consciously creating a state within the energy field that has the potential to affect the next physical moment in a beneficial way.  We do this through cultivating our hearts, focused intention, and learning to work with the Qi. When someone comes to one of my Medical QiGong classes for the first time and says they are interested in learning Energy Healing, I know where ...

From Darkness To Light

A few nights ago I watched a very disturbing documentary, "Out of the Shadows". The only reason I watched it was because another LightWorker recommended it - someone who, like me, does not promote fear-based ideas. At first I was shocked, however I also felt like there was a reason I saw it.  Every time I thought about it I made myself think of something else more positive, tried to shake it from my mind. Last night I had a dream. In it, I realized that I was made of Light.  I held out my arms and saw the most incredible light pouring out of me, streaming from my heart center, and I said "I AM LIGHT". I felt it so intensely that I said it again "I AM LIGHT", and it made me so happy I was laughing.  Then the dream shifted and I was looking at the 'bad people' from the documentary.  I held open my arms and let the light pour out and I said "I AM LIGHT!!" and I just let it wash over them all. While the light was streaming I knew ...
