¿What is Chi Kung or Qigong?
¿What is Chi Kung or Qigong?
It refers to the dedication and time we invest in cultivating and improving the flow of vital energy in our body. It is very old and a main subject in Chinese medicine studies. It is practiced to maintain and improve physical and mental health. It is, sometimes, prescribed with specific therapeutic objectives.
We align the physical movement and the breathing with a conscious, present and focused mind. There are different techniques that have enriched this practice throughout history. I use and teach the internal and external branch of the Taoist lineage; it can be both static and in motion.
In either case it is very important to maintain a balanced position and firm contact with the ground. Whether we practice sitting or standing, we want to achieve the stability of a tree and for that we slightly bend our knees and make a thread effect with our feet, applying a slight pressure outward with our heels and inwards with our toes. As we advance in the practice, we help ourselves with the mind by visualizing roots growing from our feet to anchor us firmly to the ground.
We focus on relaxing our mind, the breathing and finally our body. The purpose of this is to open the energy vessels and the meridians network through which our vital energy moves. We adjust our breathing allowing it to flow easily so that it is constant and calm, finding an in-tune harmony in each of our movements. It is up to us to achieve this point of balance between mind and body. Our tools to achieve this will be meditation and breath control.
During practice, the key lies in the gentle tension and relaxation we exert on the fasciae and all the connective tissue of the body. This favors the harmonization of the organs so they may reach their energetic potential and balance. It is precisely the calm and relaxation with which we practice that allows no limitations of age or physical condition to do Chi Kung
One of the techniques we work on is Zhan Zhuang. It is the static and meditative standing posture, the fundamental pillar of all Taoist practices to find internal balance. In daily life we should pay attention to our body posture when walking, sitting and even lying down. In this work we integrate body and mind avoiding mental or physical effort. This helps us to become more sensitive to energy, preventing it from being blocked and to cultivate the detachment from ego, so necessary in our evolutionary path.
The benefits that you can obtain by practicing Chi Kung will increase progressively, remember that training is necessary and practice is everything.
