When should I practice Qigong? This is a good question and it comes up a lot in my workshops. There are so many theories about when is the best time to practice by Qigong videos . Some talk about certain hours to feed certain organs, some discuss connecting with various stars at specific times. Theories abound.

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...
