Wisdom Qigong SESSION 1

 

Session One: Lift the Qi up from the front.

  1. Turn the praying palms forward at shoulder level. Push your palms forward. As your fingers reach the edge of the universe, turn the praying palms into yin palms by separating the little fingers first, then the fourth and middle fingers. Form a triangle with your standing palms facing outward and forward. Finally, separate the index fingers and then the thumbs moving the arms outward to shoulder width with the palms facing forward (standing palms).
  2. Open your Labor/Laogong cavities by popping open your palms to facilitate the energy flow.
  3. Initiating with your shoulder blades, inhale the Qi into your body by drawing back your palms with your fingers grasping and dragging the Qi towards you. Exhale your Qi by pushing the palms forward to the edge of the universe (where your energy can mix with the Kun Yen Qi). End the posture with standing palms facing out in front of you. Repeat this movement three times (or more if you wish).
  4. Open your arms horizontally by 15 degrees and exhale your Qi to the edge of the universe. Close your arms by 15 degrees and inhale the Qi into your body (visualizing the Kun Yen Qi filling your entire body). Repeat the movement three times (or more if you wish).
  5. Slowly spread your arms open horizontally (shoulder high) with your palms moving along the edge of the cosmos to the sides at shoulder level with standing palms (palms facing out with fingers pointing upwards). Initiating with your shoulder blades, inhale the Qi into your body by drawing back your palms with your fingers dragging the Qi. Exhale the Qi by pushing your palms to the sides to the edge of the universe. Repeat the movement three times (or more if you wish).
  6. With standing palms, raise your arms by 15 degrees as you exhale your Qi. Lower your arms by 15 degrees and inhale the Qi into your body visualizing the Kun Yen Qi filling your entire body. Repeat the movement three times (or more if you wish).
  7. Relax your wrists and turn them into yang palms to embrace and lift the Qi upwards. Continue to lift the Qi upward above your head.  Push the Qi downward into your Baihui by bending your fingers downward. Relax the shoulders to facilitate the Qi flow. Remain in the pushing state for one cycle of your breath (inhale and exhale). Lower your palms to continuously push the Qi downward into your body all the way to your feet. Guide the Qi downward along the body’s mid-line (palms are moving down the outside of your body while your thought moves the Qi down the inside). As you lower your palms, continuously push the Qi downward into your body guiding your palms down in front of the forehead, eyes, nose, mouth, neck, and chest to the navel.
  8. Touch your middle fingers to your navel and send Qi into the lower Dan-Tian all the way through to the Mingmen.
  9. Slide your middle fingers slowly along the waistline to the Mingmen continuously sending Qi into the lower Dan-Tian along the way.
  10. With your middle fingers, touch the Mingmen and push the Qi all the way through to the navel.
  11. Guide the Qi downward with your middle fingers passing along the buttocks, along the back and outside of your legs, all the way to the heels. As you move the fingers downward, use your thought to guide the Qi inside the bone marrow of your legs.
  12. Move your fingers from the back to the front along the outside edge of your feet. Place your palms on your insteps.  Push your palms downward on your insteps and bend down slightly to push your waste Qi into the earth.  Exhale your breath.  Inhale the earth’s Qi upward into your body by arching your lower back and straightening your legs. Repeat this movement three times.
  13. Remove your palms from your insteps.  Reach around to the heels and with palms facing upward pick up the earth's Qi from the ground.  Guide your fingers from the heels along the outside of your feet to the toes and then along the inside to the instep. Move your middle fingers upward along the inside of the legs with your thought guiding the earth Qi upward inside your bone marrow. Move the fingers up through the ankles, calves, knees, thighs and abdomen.
  14. Touch your middle fingers to the navel to send Qi into the lower Dan-Tian with the thought that the Qi reaches all the way to the Mingmen.
  15. Relax and return your hands to your sides and let them hang naturally.
