Qi Gong18 Style and Eyes

Qi Gong18 Style Eyes Wide Open

Qi Gong 18 Style and Eyes are not often mentioned in the same article. When Qi Gong 18 Style  Eyes Wide Open is practiced, it is done with the eyes open through-out the Ritual. The eyes are relaxed and gazing softly while keeping the hands in the field of vision  Not all teachers provide this valuable information.

Practicing Qi Gong 18 Style Eyes Wide Open It just happens. No effort is required. Qi Gong 18 Style does the work. With the added knowledge and awareness of keeping the eyes open, relaxed and gazing softly, you may notice the tissues and muscles surrounding the eyes feeling ‘exercised’.  Vision problems may not be cured, however,  practicing this way can improve the health of your eyes. This is good news.

I have always been grateful that I am living now, during this time with modern medicine and scientific advancements.  Medical science provides us “cures” for what were handicaps 100 or so years ago. My own vision was impaired from age 10 to 64. My Vision was 750/20 until cataract surgery was performed in 2004 and my vision was corrected to 20/20. Thank you Medical Science. However,  I have always felt that Qi Gong 18 Style was improving the health of my eyes. Each time I have an eye exam, the Optometrist says, “You have very young eyes.” This makes me feel good and reinforces the benefit of a regular Qi Gong 18 Style practice.

Qi Gong 18 Style with eyes wide open contributes to the health of the practitioners that follow the instruction and practice the Ritual with eyes open and keeping the hands in a soft gaze as they move.

Don’t take my word for this.

Start your own “Eyes-Open” Qi Gong 18 Style Ritual practice today. Pay attention to the subtle changes taking place in good ways within your body. Give thanks for your heightened awareness of positive changes and be healthy with Qi Gong 18 Style.

There Is More To Longevity Than Staying Alive

“There Is More To Longevity Than Staying Alive” is my motto – my mantra. I need to let you know this is not an original statement of mine, I found it in a magazine. Do you remember when we read magazines? 

The discovery of this motto has, over the years, served me as a reminder to live a Full, Happy, Healthy life and to live it Well. This motto reminds to be aware of what contributes to a vital Life. Eat Healthy, we are what we eat. Rest well, I’m told 8 hours of sleep is best. That is one I’m still working on. Be Active, keep moving. 

Food is important. I love to eat good food. My eating style has evolved over my lifetime. My focus is to eat Organic with minimal animal proteins and a lot of vegetables and fruits. Drink Lots Of Water!!! I always have a water bottle with me.

To stay active, I do a daily Qi Gong 18 Style Ritual. I have a Hatha Yoga Practice five days a week to maintain physical and mental strength. When out doing errands, I park farther from the front of the store, use the stairs rather than the elevator to add steps to my daily step count. 

To keep a positive outlook, I have an early morning Meditation Time. I look for the Good in everything. Be Joyful. Live like a Child.

Television is not a part of my life. To tell the truth I cannot tolerate all of the ads and the style of delivery used to grab and keep our attention. Irritating! A good movie, documentary or PBS Series is always enjoyable.

I also like to be out in the Fresh Air as much possible, especially when the weather is like it is now in the Fall.

What do you do to feel alive, to be active, and to live well?

“There Is More To Longevity Than Staying Alive” – make it your motto!

My Qi Gong Practice

My Qi Gong Practice.

What Started My Qi Gong Practice?

My interests have been in Energy based disciplines. As I traveled along that road, following my instinct to learn massage. I enrolled in an East/West Massage Class: Swedish Massage and Shiatsu Massage. 

The class was scheduled for more than a year. The first half was studying Swedish Massage and the second half covered Shiatsu Massage.  In January of 1993, the Shiatsu class began. We had two instructors, Dr. Chung Bai and Acupuncturist,Tai Yang Han. 

On the first day of class, we were informed that we would begin each morning session and each afternoon session with the practice of Qi Gong. This was to build the energy necessary to be a Shiatsu Massage Practitioner. At that time, I knew nothing about Qi Gong, but it was an important part of the class and I was open to learning something new.

First, we were led through each movement with a brief explanation of it. Then, we were led by Chung Bai through the entire Ritual of 18 movements…Lightning struck! I could not believe how energized, refreshed and peaceful I was as the 20 minute Ritual ended. I was hooked!!!

As the class continued and we did Qi Gong before each session, I was enjoying the refreshing, peaceful energy from it so much that I began sharing Qi Gong with my family, then my Yoga students and friends. In the fall of 1993, I started teaching Qi Gong, first to yoga students, then at hospitals, rehab centers, and in private classes. I began presenting workshops and seminars at massage schools throughout the area and even at yoga retreats.  I have been teaching and practicing Qi Gong ever since. I still LOVE my Qi Gong 18 Style Practice!
