The blockages of energy caused by various reasons like physical trauma, mental trauma, spiritual trauma, toxins or stress is where the energy is thought to be trapped. These blockages can then be removed successfully with the qi gong techniques.

Chapter 4: Stress Management With Qi Gong

Synopsis

While most stress management styles call for the quieting of the body and mind by either seeking a quite place and sitting still or by listening to relaxation inducing music to create the ideal environment to encourage meditation, qi gong works in quite different ways.

De-Stress

The qi gong technique does not require the individual to be in a meditative state rather it requires the individual to perform certain set movement patterns. There are basic meditational effects of breathing that are couple with the different movements which encourages constant inhaling and exhaling.

The qi gong techniques of coupling breathing and movements is what gives the individual the necessary mind set and physical calmness to manage stress well. The sessions normally encourage the individual to practice a few basic movements to “prepare” the person.

The first few steps include the breathing and meditation exercises to correct the body posture and to relax the muscle tensions. The breathing will then encourage the flow of qi through the body and in doing this the blockages will dissolve.

This will then create the circumstances for the body to be able to control and calm the mind, and at the same time reducing the production and flow of thoughts. Practicing this control technique will eventually calm the activity of the mind and thus reduce the stress factor.

These movements and breathing exercises also stimulated the respiratory system, revitalizes the metabolic rate, and invigorates the blood flow conditions. All of these contribute one way or another to the body’s well being and when the body is good so will the mind be. The body will not cause the mind to be unduly stressed over its condition which is a bonus when the mind has to already have to deal with extenuating external factors.

Chapter 5: Restoring Physical Vitality

Synopsis

The qi gong art form consists of physical movements, meditation, creative visualization, and breathing exercise which contributes to the cultivation of vital life force energy. This in turn ensures better health conditions, heightened energy levels, and longevity.

The Power Within

Some studies have shown that even short term practice of qi gong has shown positive results, but of course when embarking on something that is going to bring the body to its best condition should be taken as a long term endeavor.

Basically the individual is encouraged to explore the different facets of this art form which include energy boosting, restoring of physical vitality, balancing the emotions, and calming the spirit. Ideally when this level is reached in every session the ultimate goal of physical vitality is also gained.

True vitality comes from within the natural workings of a healthy body system. Though resorting to outside supplements is also a possible way to go, if the body condition is not receptive then any attempt to create vitality is wasted.

Therefore the addressing of the holistic mind and body and spirit issue is what needs to be understood in qi gong.

Qi gong teaches the individual how to work the qi energy through the meridians of the body system to unblock whatever is in the way, so that the positive energy can flow freely and in a balanced fashion.

This energy also causes the blood flow to improve and with this all the different connective organs are able to function well. The qi energy derived from qi gong techniques also loosens the joints, tones up the oxygenated muscles and relaxes the nervous system.

All of these factors in one way or another increases the physical vitality of an individual progressively and assuredly.

An optimum positive health condition leaves the individual with peace of mind to concentrate on enjoying life fully and satisfactorily.

This new lease of vitality also enables the individual to look forward to the longevity elements promised in practicing qi gong.
