This past weekend I attended a Self-Healing Qigong workshop.

I have been thinking about studying Qigong for about 4 years now, but haven’t done anything about it. The reason why is, I love to learn, but I learn something or get another certification and don’t use it, I forget the great stuff I learned and I move on. Is anyone else like that? So for me to “study” Qigong I have to commit to a regular Qigong practice. Right now I do Qigong 2 times a week.  A regular practice is doing Qigong every day. Paul Chek at the CHEK Institute first introduced me to Qigong about 10 years ago. We did a walking meditation, used chi sticks, and did the five animal frolics. I loved it!

 

Qigong is easy to do and you can do it anywhere. Here is a video of a CHEK partitioner using the chi stick or ruler. We had to commit to doing Qigong for 100 days. I did it! Paul signed our sticks and we had to mark our stick with an x each day for 100 days.

When I came back from training with Paul I went to the hardware store and bought a ton of dowel rods. I used my husbands bandsaw and made my clients chi sticks. I printed out a sheet that talked about how to use it and how to breath. This workshop was a reminder to get back to teaching that component of fitness and health.

Qigong is sometimes called moving meditation in which the mind and body are led to a state of balance and equilibrium also known as homeostasis. I am hyper so for me moving meditation works best. A Harvard medical publication said it should also be called “moving meditation.” Qigong will help to improve balance, strength, and flexibility. By the way, Tai Chi is a form of Qigong.
