Qi Gong for healing and prevention
So some of you may or may not know that one of my uncles is a Qi Gong (Chi Kung) Master, teaching and healing in and about Manchester and Bolton.
He is one of the old school masters, makes medications, aligns bones and using Chi to perform massage, as well as all the usual Chinese Traditional Medicine practices of acupressure and acupuncture.
I was talking to him about general all round well being and he recommended straight away a mixture of hard and soft Chi exercises, to build the body up from the inside, and invigorating the growth and strength and flow of Chi internally.
I will start teaching more of the hard exercises, which originate from the Shaolin Lo Han meditations. For softer, general, all round well being though, I recommend learning and performing soft Chi Kung exercises, of which there are plenty on the web, but rather than hunt around for the one that suits you the best, try this book which gathers all the most useful exercises for everyday good health and separates them into useful categories.
Meanwhile, if you are interested in more QiGong articles and books, I will be investigating more in the next few weeks, which will no doubt trickle down into my classes!
Later, J
