About Qigong
Everything, what your mind believes in, can be achieved. Each of us has special talents and capabilities, it is important to find them and believe in your self.
Qigong is an ancient Chinese system of self-healing exercises and meditations, which will allow you to strengthen the physical body by increasing and balancing the energy level, to improve health, to get rid of diseases, to prolong life, to grow spiritually and also establish a harmonious connection with the Universe and realize your true potential.
The purpose of the practice is to open up the channels of perception of the Universe to understand and find your place in it.
Qi (Energy) + Gong (Direction) = Control & Direction of Energy
Zhong Yuan Qigong is of highest Qigong levels. It includes elements of all Qigong schools; it’s free from any religion and ideologies.
Qigong Level I
In the First Level, we practice Basic exercises, which prepare the body for further energy practice and Main exercises, such as the Big Tree, Yang-Qi, Micro-Cosmic Orbit with the purpose of fast energy accumulation, refining of received Qi and balancing it in the body.
You will learn about how Qigong is based on the main elements of Chinese medicine and philosophy, and incorporates 3 main concepts:
- Yin-Yang Concept – the Union of two opposite energies, which makes the base of everything in the Universe
- Wu-Xing Theory – interaction of five Elements : Water – Wood – Fire – Earth – Metal (their correspondence with the energy of body’s organs)
- Knowledge about acupuncture meridians and bioactive points of the body
- Basic exercises: Little Boy is praying to Buddha; Feeling the Energy of Earth and Sky; Sacred Crane is cleaning feathers and drinking water; Dragon is mixing water in the Ocean
- Cleansing with energy ball exercise and accumulation of energy
- Big Tree exercise
- Yang-Qi exercise or “Refine Qi” practice
- Micro-Cosmic Orbit exercise
- Practice of Main Mantra
Since our health depends on the perfectly balanced energy in the body, the purpose of the Level 1 of Zhong Yuan Qigong is to activate the basic energy, improve its quality, i.e. become healthy, and use this energy to improve your life forces, also to balance the energy circulation in the channels, opening up the blocked areas.
Qigong Level II
In Level 2, we will focus on opening the heart which means developing intuition and courage. Also at this stage of energy practice we learn how to enter the state of “Silence” or “nothingness” during meditations. We also learn to experience a free flow of energy in the body as a great technique of self-healing. We start building the Central Channel – the way for the soul to come out of the body and do astral traveling.
In the Level 2 program, you will cover:
1. Theory of TAO and the way of TE; reaching the State of Silence
2. Two new basic exercises – Connecting with the Earth and the Sky; Mixing of Yin-Yang Ball
3. The Level 2 Big Tree Exercise
