Dr. YanXin QiGong Vs. Spring Forest QiGong

[TommyRyukyu]

Ok, I have an observation I wanted to share. In

YanXin QiGong, the part where one hand is on

front of the other. For males, right hand is on

the inside, for females It's the opposite. in

SFQ its the other way around. Any thoughts on

why this is between these two systems as

always greatly appreciated.

OAny thoughts on

Sorry but I don't know SFQ

 

IMHO and IIRC according to what I've been taught it mostly doesn't matter which hand goes on top, even though some systems are quite insistent on one being "correct" Try both with awareness, one will tend to feel more natural / correct, go with that.

 

But since I'm just some guy on the internet .... here is a reference

Although a teaching sound-bite may not be false, it is also may not be completely true. Each circumstance may require a different approach to achieve the results your are after.

Hands return to front and place both hands over 'Shen Jue' (the navel). Please note left hand cover the right hand for female and right over the left for male. Hold the position for a breathing cycle then finish.

Normal right hand under left is supposed to be normal dan tien breathing (for men). The other way around I've heard it as nourishing the dan tien. When its the other way around I think it has to do more with actually developing the dan tien.

 

I do it for 20 minutes after dan tien breathing at the end of training.

it all depends on 1) the flow of energy, & your nostrils 2) what you want to do or achieve.

 

Right hand puts energy back into DT

 

Left hand takes energy Out of DT

 

Right hand is Yang

 

Left is Yin

 

For women its the opposite.
