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

Breath for your Qi Gong Ritual Practice

Breath, this is one of the primary element used for a Qi Gong 18 Style Ritual Practice. How we breath, the way we breath, where we focus the breath is extremely important.
The proper way to breathe while performing your Ritual is:
Place the tip of the tongue on the roof of the mouth.

Tongue Placement

Inhale and Exhale through the Nostrils. Not the mouth.
Inhale from the Perineum (mid-way between the anus and the genitals) drawing the breath up the spine, over the top of the head and into the nostrils. Exhale through the nostrils down the mid-line of the body to the Dan Tien (four fingers below the navel) then internally back to the Perineum. Imagine the breath moving just outside of your body as if in a channel or tube. It is actually. This is the Micro Cosmic Orbit.
With the Inhale the Dan Tien should be expanding. When you Exhale the Dan Tien should contract.
The length of the breath should equal the movement eg, inhale as the arms raise, exhale as they lower etc.
The breath should be smooth, easy and silent.
It is that simple. Yet it is also very powerful.

Peace and Calm from Qi Gong 18 Style

Peace and Calm. Reduced Stress. Lower Blood Pressure. Flexibility. Coordination. Strength. Agility. Generally Feel Good. These are just a few of the benefits I personally get from my regular Qi Gong 18 Style Ritual Practice.

My practice began in January 1993. The first time I did the Ritual I was amazed at how good it made me feel. Remember in 1993 I was 24 years younger and in extremely good physical condition as a result of my 1 hour daily Yoga Practice. How could it be, this Simple, Easy 20 minute Ritual made me feel so good. I simply accepted the fact that it worked for me and I started a regular daily practice. In the beginning I did Yoga in the morning and Qi Gong in the evening. After a month or so I had the inspiration to do it in the morning after my Yoga practice . Well it was the right thing to do, from the beginning I notice that with the morning practice my whole day was better. I was better. Peace and Calm. Life got better.

Well the 24 years of practicing Qi Gong 18 Style have passed, I am afraid to stop the practice not knowing what would happen and not wanting to find out. So I see practicing and my life keeps being Good. It must have an effect, most people think I am 10 years or so younger than my actual age. For me that is all the encouragement  I need to be a Qi Gong Practitioner.

I invite you to join me in this regular Qi Gong Ritual practice to see just what it will do for you. What changes you will have. What improvements you will notice. Will you find Peace and Calm?  It is easy to join me, simply download the video and begin your practice today.

Good Qi –
