ba duan jin exercises: Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong Simon Blow, 2014-09-01 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.

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. It then flies back to this world to share this healing energy with humanity Simon Blow is a 29th Generation of the Da Yan Wild Goose Qigong, an initiated student of the 28th lineage holder Grand Master Chen Chuan Gang, the eldest son of Grand Master Yang Mei Jung.

ba duan jin exercises: The Eight Pieces of Brocade - Ba Duan Jin Qigong David Deich, 2014-07-10 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) |

ba duan jin exercises: The Four Dragons Damo Mitchell, 2014-08-21 Within the context of a larger discussion of Dao Yin, Damo Mitchell teaches and explains the Dragon Dao Yin exercises, a set of four short sequences designed to work with the subtle energies of the spine and lead pathogenic energies out of the body. More 'Yang' in nature than Qi Gong, Dao Yin focuses on outwards movements and strong internal cleansing. The book highlights this important distinction and covers the theory, history and development of Dao Yin exercises, as well as the relationship between Chinese medical theory and Dao Yin training. One chapter is devoted to problems related to stagnation and the flow of Qi, and explains the different causes and forms of stagnation. Later chapters look at breathing patterns and the extension of Yi, opening the joints, and rotating the bones and spine. Damo Mitchell also discusses stillness as the source of movement, the philosophical significance of the Dragon and the pearl, and the means of hardwiring Dao Yin exercises into the energetic body. Central to the discussion is the concept of the spine, and how to wake it up. For the first time in the English language, the Dragon exercises – Awakening, Swimming, Soaring and Drunken – are described in detail, with photographs and step-by-step instructions on each of the exercises as individual therapeutic exercises and as a form. |

ba duan jin exercises: Ba Duan Jin Qi Gong Eduardo Barrios, 2020-12-10 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.
