Training Whole Body Movement

All forms of Qigong involve movement, breath, and awareness. In Wild Goose Qigong we start our training through practicing the lovely Wild Goose movements. Yet, in order to induce Qi to move throught the body, one must learn whole-body movement with focused attention on breath and awarenes of Qi flow. Starting Jan.14, 2012, we are offering a series of 6 monthly workshops in Berkeley, focusing on whole-body movement training.

 

January 14
Contrasting Movements

The importance of circular movements:
Circular movements can be trained to be whole-body movements. No movements can be smooth, unless they are circular. Combining circular movements with linear movements for greater strength and power.
(Ex. Series Steps as in WG-2 vs. WG-8)

February 11
Similar Movements

In order to emphasize an important movement, Wild Goose Qigong sometimes presents the prototype of that movement first, followed by presenting several of its variants in other sets.  
(Ex. “The Flying Goose” and “Descending” as in WG-2, vs. “playing” as in WG-8)

March 10
Spiral Movements
Circular movements can easily be developed into a Figure-eight movement. Several circular movements can be developed into a spiral movements.
(Ex. WG-2 & WG-4)

April 21
Center-Periphery Movements
Small circular movements can combine with stretching linear movements and becoming center-periphery movement.
(Ex. WG-2)

May 12
3-Dimensional Movements (part-1)
A simple turning of the body left and right makes it easier to move our Qi in ascending and descending directions. (Ex. WG-1, #22-27)
We will practce “Ba-gua” circular steps used in most Wild Goose Qigong forms.

June 9
3-Dimensional Movements (part-2)
Humans can easily make circular movements in 3- dimensions. We will practice the classic Taoist training of “Micro-Cosmic Orbit” emphasizing a "whole wheel" circle. Left-right coordination also plays an important role in our body and brain integration. Attention will be paid to horizontal "Gringing Toufu" and vertical "Washing Window" circles.
