Qigong Exercise Videos

Master Instructor David teaches the art of movement through meditation in this 34 minute QiGong Videos program . Combining exercise, stretch, flowing movements, and mindfulness, this ancient form of exercise is poetry through movement.  What if you could combine the benefits of exercise with mind calming power of meditation? Everyone knows that exercise delivers amazing health and longevity benefits, but fewer people are aware of the power of meditation. Research suggests that meditation slows down the aging process and contributes to overall health and well-being, while also cultivating creativity and mental clarity. Think of meditation as a mini-vacation from the fast-paced, intense, emotionally draining world we live in. It is an inner journey where you will discover peace, tranquility and a state of deep relaxation. This program focuses on mindfulness and “flow” through movement and energetic awareness. In this program, host Lee Holden teaches a form of medi...

The Art and Skill of Modifying Qigong videos

The Art and Skill of Modifying Qigong videos  Qigong is the art and skill of working with the body, breath, mind, and subtle energies to attain health, vitality and longevity. A good Qigong practice is best if it is pleasant, energizing, fulfilling, interesting. For some people, even the simple moves of basic Qigong can be too much for them. Perhaps because of an injury or chronic problem, they can’t lift a shoulder, or turn an elbow. Or standing up to practice may be overwhelming. Or maybe they are so tired they can’t put much thinking energy, much mental focus on even slightly involved movements. The light exercises that are fairly easy to learn are yet too much to perform. In such cases, self-healing Qigong videos can be modified to even simpler, easier formations. They can still benefit from practicing some qigong videos. Qigong, properly approached will give them gifts of healing so they can get past their pain, tiredness, confusion, recent illness, or recent...

How much time does it take to do Qigong?

How much time does it take to do  Qigong videos ? Does that make you smile? I hope so... It's like asking, how long does it take to become a Qigong Master? In China, no one would ever call themselves a "Master"... it is bestowed upon you by peers... Nowadays the term is used way too loosely... Anyway,  Qigong videos  isn't about "time"... I know people who spend hours each day and they seem way too caught up in the details and intense to be gaining any real benefit... and I see others who say they "just have ten minutes a day, but I do my practice daily" and they seem to be flowing and healthy. It's not "what" you practice, it's "how" you practice.  I would much rather see you practice ten minutes regularly than sporadic long sessions. Qigong is a healthy habit... and as humans, we are extremely pattern oriented. We can't easily escape our pattern/habit orientation, so it is better to then use it to our adv...

Dragon and Tiger Qigong is the First of the Moving Qigong Videos Exercises

Image
Dragon and Tiger Qigong is the first of the moving  Qigong videos  exercises in our program. Dragon and Tiger was developed 1,500 years ago and came from the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple was originally a place where Taoism and Buddhism fused inside of China. This exercise set is known in China as medical qigong because it seeks to activate the acupuncture meridians in the body. It is comprised of only seven movements and each of those movements activates certain specific acupuncture meridian pathways in very distinct ways. In all the  Qigong videos  methods I meet in China, especially among medical qigong methods, this was the method I saw that I felt was the easiest to learn and provided the bulk of the medical benefits of qigong. Its second advantage is it teaches how to feel energy or how to feel chi. With practice just about everyone can learn to feel and move chi and this qigong exercise makes it about as easy as possible The fin...
