Qigong The path to Life Mastery

Life Mastery. Qigong is not just a set of movements, not just meditation, mantra recitations, or cultivation of qi. Qigong is a path of life mastery, a path to enlightenment. The movements, mantras, and meditations are tools that are used towards that end. The tools should not limit you. They should help you grow…A Qigong form is meant to assist a person in gaining the health, energy, and sensitivity needed to expore the more spiritual dimensions in life. After the basics of Qigong are learned, proper posture and alignments, etc., the student is ready to explore some of the deeper aspects of the art. What happens to some practitioners of spiritual movement systems such as Qigong … is that they strive for perfection of the form, that is, perfection of the outer form, their posture and alignment. And they end up ignoring the inner experience… What is most important is what is happening on the inside, the energetic, meditative, and spiritual aspect of the art.” Richard –The Empty Vessel

Me and My Ritual Practice of Qi Gong

For years I have been doing the Qi Gong 18 Style Ritual Practice. I seldom skip a day because I know how powerful and centering it is. The practice has been, for me, a time of Meditation, Contemplation and Inspiration. This is why I’m telling you about my personal experience this morning.

The weather in Arizona this time of year is Beautiful — 57 degrees and clear skies when I did my Ritual Practice this morning. As everyday, I was enjoying being with my Qi Gong. However, as I moved through the 18 Movements, I found myself thinking about what was going on in my day to day life and feeling stressed. It was as though these thoughts were running like a video in my mind. Then it occurred to me… STOP thinking about this…Think about what YOU WANT!  I realized that I was polluting this valuable moment with unproductive, non-serving and unhealthy thoughts. I needed to  STOP!!! Focus on the GOOD. If I must think about something, focus on what I want, not what is going on in my life that is not serving me.

This for me was an Aha Moment. The practice opened me up to an Inspiration, a guide, an awareness of what I need to do to fulfill my wishes, dreams and desires. My thoughts shifted to what I truly desire. The flow of my practice slipped back into being a Meditation. I am So Grateful for what Qi Gong Gives me. This is why I keep practicing.

If you are not currently practicing Qi Gong 18 Style Ritual, think about committing to it for 90 days and see what changes in your Life. What improves for you.
