Generating Qi and the Qi Field
There are many health benefits to generating and maintaining a robust Qi Field. We become full of Life! And, are able to move through our Worlds with ease and grace. We will start by understanding essential aspects of Wild Goose Qigong that assist us in creating Qi and the Qi Field:
| • | How Qigong movements influence the direction of our Qi flow |
| • | How body posture affects our whole body Qi Field |
| • | The significance of breathing space, and how breathing techniques - such as Reverse Abdominal and Kegel - benefit breathing space |
| • | Awareness of our body center, and its upward or downward movements |
| • | The importance of center-periphery movements |
| • | Ease of movement when combined with Reverse Abdominal Breathing (RAB) |
How To Develop a Whole Body Qi Field
| 1 | Start with making a Qi-Ball |
| 2 | Practice manipulating a Big Qi-Ball with awareness of body center as the middle of the Qi-Ball, and the extremities as the edges |
| 3 | Generate circles of Qi by moving it from the fingers, up the arm, passing it through the chest (or upper back), and back down the other arm to connect again at the fingers |
| 4 | Practice of small and big MCO (Micro-Cosmic Orbit) |
| 5 | Practice of big MCO in standing stake, with fingers facing each other in front of the body |
| 6 | Practice of “Figure-8 MCO” |
30 Contact Hours
Certificate for completion of 30 contact hours will be provided for those who have joined or who are planning to join the Wild Goose Teacher’s Training Program.
Wild Goose Qigong and meditation is a complete healing system. Well known for its lovely and graceful movements that suggest the image of an innocent and carefree goose, it is one of the most popular Medical Qigong systems for self-healing and Qigong therapy.
Wild Goose Qigong offers many health benefits. Through increased relaxation, deeper breathing, and whole body coordination, it improves our Qi circulation and blood flow, especially in the capillaries. More oxygen is thus supplied to our brain, boosting our brain power, improving our cognitive function, and offers a good defense against depression and anxiety.
Classes are for all
levels. Beginners welcome!
