Qi and Body Awareness

(Includes links to video and audio instructions)

The practice of Qi and Body Awareness will provide the reader with dozens, if not hundreds of tips and techniques for learning to sense Qi, gather Qi, and move Qi throughout the body. Even more advanced practitioners of Qigong may benefit from this information as well.

Much of this book is based on knowledge passed down from Qigong masters of the East. This knowledge provides the reader with numerous subtleties of Qigong practice, so that the inner language of Qi may be learned.

The premise of Qi and Body Awareness is that Qi is first discovered through awareness of the physical body. Using the concept of Reverse Cultivation, we identify the Qi through first recognizing our physicality. After recognizing the Qi, we can then recognize and grow the Qi Body. By first discovering what we can tangibly grasp in the physical, we can gain awareness of the esoteric or the intangible.

Qi and Body Awareness not only includes Qigong practices, but it also offers in-depth explanation of what is occurring in Qigong movements. These techniques supply clarification on how we can apply our internal awareness in synchronization with Qigong movement for maximum benefit. This book contains numerous illustrations and examples to explain the details needed for a successful Qigong practice.

The information compiled in Qi and Body Awareness serves as a valuable tool for reaching the deeper levels of awareness in Qigong practice. The goal of this book is to provide a simple and clear understanding of Qigong, so that the reader may learn to take the mystery out of mastery.

Standing Like a Tree: Building Qi Power

What is Standing Like a Tree?

“Standing Like a Tree” or “Zhan Zhuang”, is a Chinese Qigong standing practice that originated centuries ago for the purpose of health and well-being. Standing Like a Tree is a metaphor for the specifics of this form. Standing still with the feet firmly planted on the ground, while drawing Qi from the Earth, is comparable to a tree, with its roots gaining sustenance from the soil. Also, our head receiving the Qi flow from the heavens is like a tree receiving sunlight for nourishment.

Our particular standing form is actually considered a mediation practice. Typically, we may think of meditation as a sitting practice. Standing Like a Tree is sometimes regarded as a more effective form of meditation because we remain physically alert while also in a meditative state. Additionally, the feet and legs play a role in the Standing Like a Tree meditation, as they become receptors for the Qi drawn from the field of the Earth. Since the meditation posture is in a standing position, the feet can receive Earth Qi more powerfully than if one were sitting.

There are many forms of Standing Like a Tree. However, there are key elements required to perform this practice correctly. When Standing Like a Tree is combined with mentally leading the Qi with the breath, it becomes a highly effective Qigong practice. Our Standing Like a Tree practice is therefore a part of Medical Qigong, which is a system for healing and strengthening the body, and for building a powerful flow of Qi!
