La Qi - Qwan Qi

 

La Qi - Quan Qi is a major healing technique of Wisdom Qigong used to enhance and promote healing, and improve the immune system.  When La Qi and Qwan Qi are practiced together, the Qigong therapist will not lose his/her own Qi (vital energy).

La Qi:  Pulling the Qi (usually sick energy) out of the subject.
Qwan Qi:  Pushing or piloting cosmic therapeutic Qi into the body (either yourself or another).   

The primary purpose of La Qi and Qwan Qi is to infuse, transport and transform the Kun Yen Qi into the subject's energy system and to pull the sick Qi and wasted energy out of the system.  Qwan Qi and La Qi can be applied to humans as well as anything else living (i.e., flowers, trees, animals, etc.).  It serves as an important implication for self-healing and healing others, as well as a perfect preventative medicine to improve the quality and quantity of life and to prevent any illness.  It can also serve as a powerful tool for rehabilitation.

Generating Qi:

Stand relaxed, yet focused.  
Visualize that your energized self is traveling out and infusing with cosmic energy (Kun Yen Qi).
Raise your hands in front of you (between your chest and Lower Dan Tian) as though you are holding a Qi (energy) ball in front of you.  Your palms should face each other with the fingers pointing forward.  
Breathe gently, slowly, and deeply into the Lower Dan Tian.  
As you inhale, push both palms together, but do not let them touch.  
Just before your palms touch, pull the palms apart slowly - at the same time exhaling.
Repeat the movement for five to twenty minutes.  

While inhaling, visualize that healing energies are being inhaled into your entire body (through your lungs, pores, cavities, etc.).  As this Qi enters your body it is transformed into your own healing energy.

Pay attention to the feelings in your palms, fingers and body during the practice.  These sensations are called "Qi feelings."  Feelings vary by individual.  Some people sense cold, warmth/heat, soreness, numbness, etc.  The more often and the longer one practices, the stronger the sensations will be.  This is an excellent way to sense, increase, and learn to manage one's Qi.

When the practitioner achieves the Qi feelings (achieves a "Qigong state"), he or she is now ready to transport Qi into the subject's system for healing.  The practitioner should visualize the cosmic Kun Yen Qi is coming into his/her body and being infused into his/her own Qi, transformed, and then transported out through the palms or fingers into the target area of the subject.  The practitioner should use his/her mind to pilot the Qi into the subject during the entire procedure.  It takes a clear mind and regular practice to be able to effectively infuse, transform, pilot and export Qi into another subject for healing.  Self-healing is the beginning point for developing this process.

Healing:

Standing with your feet shoulder width apart, place both hands above the target area (kidneys, knee, stomach, etc.) with both palms facing the target area.  
Push the Qi in by pushing the palms towards the target area.  Visualize  healing Qi being sent out of the palms into the target area.  Push in the energy by popping open your palms to facilitate the energy flow.  
When you palms reach half way to the target, pull them back and visualize that the sick energy in the target area is being pulled out by your palms and deposited in the universe around you.  Pull out the sick Qi by grabbing the Qi with your palms to facilitate the pulling.  
When your palms are pulled back close to your body, visualize that your energy is once again infused with cosmic energy.  Then push the palms filled with healing energies towards the target area again. 
Perform this process for ten-to-fourteen minutes depending upon the nature of the problem.  Let your intuitive self tell you when the healing process is done.
