Qi Gong exercises
Wolfgang shows you the Mini Qi Gong program consisting of eight exercises:
Awaken Qi
Open heart
Support sky
Collect Qi
Qi Gong exercises
for more inner peace

This Qi Gong program consists of only 4 exercises and thus represents a "mini - Qi Gong program". It is intended to create a short "energy break" in a stressful situation. For this you need only a few minutes. 


The first exercise connects you with your breath and your body. The second exercise helps you to increase your breathing space. This also deepens your breath and automatically relaxes your nervous system. The third exercise gives you the opportunity to expand into space and develop inner strength by imagining yourself supporting the sky. A truly great task! With the final exercise you gather energy and recharge your batteries. So you are ready to go back to everyday life with new strength and fresh energy.

TCM background information

Fear

 

If we look at the emotion fear from the point of view of TCM, then we can here 2 Functional circuits that may be affected by this. On the one hand, these are the Kidney energy. Because from the point of view of TCM, our fears are located in the kidneys. Fear can weaken our kidney energy.

Conversely, weak kidney energy can also cause us to become increasingly anxious. In extreme cases, this can escalate to panic attacks, so that we have the feeling of losing control. Normally, however, these are milder forms of anxiety. Fear of rejection, of failure, of illness or financial problems.are just a few examples.

 

Fears weaken but besides the kidney qi also our shen. Shen could be roughly translated as Awareness or spirit. This consciousness has its seat in our heart. Anxiety thus also upsets our heart function. When we are afraid, we can no longer think clearly, a sign that the Shen is impaired.

 

Unser Selbstakupressurprogramm mit dem Akupen hat deshalb 4 Punkte, die sich genau um diese 2 Organenergien kümmern.

The point Ni3 is the toning point for the kidneys and causes the Kidney Qi strengthened will.

The point CV 17 is considered the Sea of tranquility denotes. A point that the Heart calms. Exactly the same function has the point He 7, the divine gate. Also he calms our troubled Shen and brings us back to ourselves.

 

The point Pam3 finally, calms our brain, specifically our frontal lobe, which is responsible for our conscious mind.

 

Thus, you have a simple and effective acupuncture program to reduce your anxiety.

Qi Gong

The word Qi Gong consists of 2 syllables - Qi and Gong. The Chinese term "Qi" can be translated for us most likely by "life energy". But it contains more than this. It also means breath and air. In Chinese medicine, Qi is considered to be the invigorating force that flows through all living things. However, Qi is not only inside the body of a living being, but also outside. Qi also shows itself to us in nature. Thus animals, flowers and trees are flowed through by Qi. Qi is the living force that is inherent in everything and that makes life possible.

 

The Japanese call this force "Ki". In India it is called "Prana". It always means the same thing - the power and energy that is inherent in everything and keeps us alive. In Chinese medicine, health is only possible when the Qi in our body is pure, not polluted and can flow freely.

 

Due to bad living habits, in the course of time, energy blockages can occur in the body system and as a result, diseases can manifest, which can be physical or psychological in nature. Generally speaking, we can say that a living person has Qi throughout the body.

 

The word "gong means roughly "body work" or "success through perseverance and practice". Therefore Qi Gong is called "Work with the life energy". We learn to improve the flow and distribution of Qi in our body through movement and concentration to strengthen our health and bring body and mind into harmony. At the same time we learn to stand correctly, between heaven and earth. This significantly improves posture and many aches and pains disappear on their own.

 

Qi Gong is a holistic healing system with a long tradition, which has been continuously developed until today. It includes health-promoting postures, movement, self-massage, breathing techniques and meditation. Through these various exercise methods, Qi is supposed to be collected and stored in the body, like in a reservoir. The goal is to expel the impure Qi and absorb fresh pure Qi.

 

Qi Gong is not a medicine that is prescribed for a limited time, but rather it should be practiced daily. In this regard, 20 minutes of daily practice is enough to improve health and one's well-being to a great extent.

 

Anyone can practice qigong. There are exercises for every age and every state of health. The exercises can be practiced standing, sitting, lying down or walking. So even physically challenged people can easily practice Qi Gong and improve your health in a sustainable way.
