Introduction to Qigong Theory and History

I have sufficiently described the benefits of Qi Gong in this blog so that Sandy could get to the evidence of the benefit he would bring. After an explanation of the basic positions, meditation, breathing therapy, gymnastics, body psychotherapy or acupuncture to present the possibilities of conveying the “shi”, we had to take action! It is obvious that this art requires many years of experience to feel all the possibilities if indeed it was possible to approach all … It was of course imperative to address the major aspects of the discipline without going too far in what is not interpretable in the short term. The bases are included, one can actively work at their own pace and improve his knowledge as far as possible in one day and feel capable of amazing performance both mentally and physically. Sandy gives us the conclusion of this article are felt at this level … I like to remember a quote from Mencius (372-289 BC ac): “The man must constantly ensure himself not to lose the innate goodness. Due to control his breathing, he must inspire and expire on breath of the universe. “Qi (shi) is a matter we can not see, so I made this detailed approach to the perception that one can have and then I took to Sandy Lake Morea where space is conducive to a good feeling (Big Stone floor clean and free outdoor water calm and relaxing, the birds singing …) An explanation of the conduction pathways (meridians), an approach to respiration (stimulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic ) with the elimination of tensions, the daily application etc. The study of the basic position, two important movements and the observation of the result obtained after 1h30 of practice (see conclusion).

Position is important, it should not be corrected to work without getting best results. While the position is maintained, I continue my explanation and I correct the inevitable changes in attitude, and reflex culmination of our daily tension and undisciplined forces us rather than relaxes us! during the first sessions, it is likely that the effects are difficult to analyze well, I’m lucky to be able to initiate many students who explained to As the benefit obtained causing a feeling of satisfaction for me as a result of the good communication between us. End of the session, great moment of relaxation and gentle walking to the water’s edge to enjoy every second of the benefits obtained.


Work of breathing

I will not detail what is already seen on this blog in different places, this time, the exercises focused on breathing during movement Qi-Gong (raise arms, fall in harmony with yourself and not force ) so of course, the brain controls these actions in the future without having to run more.
