6 QIGONG EXERCISES FOR CULTIVATING HEALING ENERGY
Qigong combines both meditative and physically active elements. The physical elements are
expressed through relaxing, visualization, stretching, and breathing. It�s a mind-body
practice that first developed over 5,000 years ago, and comprises an important aspect of
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). There is also a term commonly used in the medical
community related to this type of practice, known as Medical Qigong(MQ). It�s a mind-body
practice that uses physical activity and meditation to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit.
Proponents of Qigong understand that some of our discomfort, sickness, and pain are
a result of energy blockages or a �stagnation of energy flow in the energy channel in the
human body.� According to this theory, �if there is a free flow and balance of energy,
health can be improved and/or maintained and disease can be prevented,� a study published
in the Annals of Oncology explains. The study also cites several others that demonstrate
the many health benefits Qigong offers, such as lowered lipid levels, blood pressure, and
levels of circulating stress hormones, enhanced immune function, improved well-being, and
positive effects on inflammation and fatigue in cancer patients.
This type of energy is also associated with �entanglement.� A study published in the
American Journal of Chinese Medicine, as seen in the the US National Library of Medicine,
demonstrated that a women with special abilities was and is able to accelerate the germination
of specific seeds for the purposes of developing a more robust seed stock. Her name is Chulin
Sun, and she is a member of the Chinese Somatic Science Research Institute and a Waiqi practitioner,
which is a type of Qigong that teaches the practitioner to bring the Qi energy of traditional
Chinese medicine under the control of the mind. (source) You can read more about this

Qigong Physical Exercises
Below is a list that was put together from a TCM scholar named Misha Cohen. She was trained
in acupuncture at Lincoln Hospital�s Detox Program in the South Bronx under the auspices
of the Quebec School of Acupuncture. After that she continued her studies in Traditional
Oriental medicine. For more than two decades she has been developing treatment protocols
for people with HIV/AIDS. Internationally recognized, Misha is a leader in the field
of Chinese medicine and a great place to start if you�re new to this subject and want to

Warm Up Exercises
Qigong Exercise One: Gentle Sway
1. For five minutes, move both of your arms from your shoulders in a gentle swinging motion.
The motion itself is initiated from your waist: Twist from the waist as though your torso
were a washcloth that you were wringing out. Don�t twist from the knees or you may harm
them. Furthermore, twisting from the waist provides a massage to the internal organs
and provides you the full benefits of the exercise.
2. To get started, move your arms side to side across your torso, and then back to front.
3. Keep your knees slightly bent. Let your hips sway. Allow your mind to clear. At first,
focus on the release of unnecessary and unconscious stress. After several weeks, you may shift
your focus so that you think only about the swaying of your arms and the motion of Qi
energy.
This introduces you to the concept of being mindful of the present, much the same concept
as found in Zen walking. The same concept of mindfulness is found in the practice of
Zen Walking.

Qigong Exercise Two: The Bounce
In the beginning, try this for one to three minutes.
1. With your feet parallel and about shoulder�s width apart, bounce with your knees loose
and your arms hanging at the side. They should feel empty and neutral. This is the zero position
for your arms. When you are bouncing back and forth, your arms in zero should get a
nice jiggling effect.
2. Keep your shoulders natural; neither pull them back or let them slump forward too much.
When the zero position is used on the whole body, you should receive a feeling of deep
relaxation throughout your body. This process brings awareness of internal tension so that
you can do something to dispel it, if you choose.
The combination of exercises one and two gently massages and tonifies the Organ Systems, which
helps promote longevity.
Stand with your feet parallel and about shoulder�s width apart.
Awareness Exercises
Qigong Exercise Three: Accordion
In this, you feel the Qi energy by using your hands like the bellow of an accordion or a
bicycle pump.
1. Close your eyes halfway. Clear your mind and concentrate your attention on your palms.
2. Allow your breath to become slow, easy, without force. In a way, you are creating
the very lightest trance.
3. Bring your hands together, palms touching and fingers pointing upward. The palm chakras,
called Laogong, located in the center of the palms, should be touching. These chakras are
areas where Qi can be felt emanating from the body.
4. Slowly move your hands, keeping the chakras aligned. When they are about 12 inches (30
cm) apart, slowly move them together using the least amount of physical effort possible.
5. You will be compressing the air between them like an accordion would.
6. Feel a warm or tingling sensation at the Laogong points on your palms.
7. Move your hands slowly back and forth, varying the range of the bellows. Repeat the
accordion technique in different directions: horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
This exercise cultivates Qi, builds awareness, and sensitizes yourself. When you feel Qi
energy for the first time, it changes your mind-set.
The palm chakras, called Lagong
Qigong Exercise Four: Extending the Qi
If you have Deficient Qi, you should perform this exercise with your eyes half closed to
cultivate and accumulate Qi energy.
1. If you have Stagnant Qi, the exercise may be done with your eyes fully open.You will
inhale swiftly through your nostrils with your eyes open or half closed when you exhale.
2. Once you can sense the Qi, exercise your intention (which is the mind/spirit part of
the exercise) and use your mind to move your Qi out from your body, expanding the zone
in which you are comfortable. You may allow the Qi to drift out on the exhalation and
then hold it there as you inhale.
When you have learned to be comfortable expanding and contracting your Qi, you will feel stronger
and healthier.
3. First move the Qi into an orbit 1 inch (2.5 cm) from your skin. In increments of
6 inches (15 cm), move it outward, aiming for 3 feet (91 cm), but find the point where
you are comfortable with it. Then bring it back in until it returns close to your body.
This qigong exercise allows you to communicate with your Qi energy. By increasing the distance
away from your body that you can feel Qi, you expand your area of comfort�your field
of generosity�in the world around you. You will have less fear and greater abilities.
By being able to bring your Qi halo in to skin level (or inside your skin) you may become
more centered, calm, and self-assured. When you have learned to be comfortable expanding
and contracting your Qi, you will feel stronger, healthier, and more in harmony internally
and externally.
Qigong Exercise Five: Pumping The Qi
This is a tricky exercise that moves the Qi energy along the two connecting Extraordinary
Channels: the Du Mai and Ren Mai. You may think of it as evolve, devolve, because your
posture goes from a slumped, gorilla-like stance to an upright extended pose. It is
adapted from the Wild Goose Qigong exercise routine.
1. The first position pushes the Qi down. As your hands push flat down, your spine and
head straighten upward. Then as you allow the Qi to flow back upward, your hands rise,
elbows bent and palms parallel to the floor. Your shoulders hunch. Repeat this six or seven
times, inhaling as your hands come up and exhaling as your hands go down.
2. When you are comfortable with this Qigong exercise, you may combine it with a slow intentional
walk forward: left knee bent and raised in an exaggerated stepping motion. When your
knee comes up, your hands go down and back and your spine straightens; when your foot
touches the ground, your hands come up and your back hunches. Place your feet very gently
on the ground and allow each step to proceed in slow motion, at a tempo that soothes and
relaxes. Remember to maintain a breathing pattern, too. Inhale as your hands come up
and your shoulders hunch. Exhale slowly, expanding your chest as you straighten your back. If
this feels awkward, don�t despair. Even in a classroom situation, it takes a while
to catch on to what to do.
Qigong Exercise Six: Blending Qi
This exercise should help you become aware of various resonations of Qi energy and learn
to blend them into a harmonious flow.
1. Stand with your feet a shoulder�s width apart, with your knees slightly bent. Allow
your hands and arms to hang at your sides.
2. Shift your weight slightly to the balls of your feet. Simply be aware of the front
side of your body. Concentrate on the Channels that pass along the front of your legs and
torso, the top of your hands and arms, and your face.
3. After one minute, shift your weight to your heels. Become aware of the back of your
body: the back of your head, your arms, your spine, and your legs. With practice, you may
hold these postures for up to five minutes or longer.
4. You can also do this for the left and right sides of the body.
5. In each instance, you may want to become aware of each section of the body. For example,
the side of your head, the side of your arm and torso, your outer hip, the side of your
leg and ankle, and the length of your foot. This makes the exercise a meditation.
6. Now, shifting to a more Nei Dan form of Qigong exercise, repeat the first three steps,
but the motion should not be detectable visually. Use your mind to shift your weight forward
and backward, feeling your Qi flowing along the front and back of your body.
7. Next, try to feel your Qi flowing along your back and front simultaneously.
Students are often bewildered by the idea of feeling two sensations at the same time,
but a useful analogy is to think of the color yellow and the color blue. When you blend
those two colors together, you produce green. That green then becomes its own entity with
its own wavelength. The same is true of blending the Qi energy from your front and from your
back. The blend becomes another entity with its own resonation.
Qigong has both Yin and Yang aspects: The Yin is being it; the Yan is doing it.
