A key emphasis of this body and mind practice is the movement and stretching of ligaments, small joints, and other often-neglected areas. By activating these parts, Qi flows freely, reaching the skin, hair, and even the fingertips. This process promotes a healthy, resilient, and vibrant body.
This method uses simple postures, but is more challenging because it will emphasize moving parts of the body that we do not normally move. Frequent practise works to open and harmonize the entire physical structure. It allows Qi to penetrate deeply into various layers, including the skin, muscles, tendons, meridians, and bones, leading to a holistic integration of the body.
This method requires a harmonious connection between mind and body. While the physical movements naturally stimulate the flow of Qi, the process is further enhanced as the body relaxes and the mind expands its awareness throughout. The slow, gentle, and deliberate nature of the movements allows practitioners to experience their body as a unified whole, cultivating a deep sense of stillness and physical strength. Through this practice, students not only refine their physical and mental integration but also tap into the deeper wisdom inherent in Qigong.
