What Do You Do Immediately After Sessions ?

[Sebastian]

Hey All,

 

After your individual closing exercises, do you do certain things to settle the qi ?

 

Like going for a walk, stretch, go gardening or whatever ?

 

I find that walking in place and swinging the arms gently for a few minutes settles the qi for me and makes me feel more full of energy.

 

Thanks,

Sebby

 

PS: Note that I mean after "active" (moving) qigong sessions here. I know meditation is a good follow-up, but I mean when you transition from qigong to every day life.

Yes, definitely.

Yes, definitely.

 

Thanks, any routines in particular for you ?

Before I retired ( YAY. )Monday through Friday I went to work after cultivating.

Now I take the dogs for a walk.

 

As far as 'warming down' from cultivation, with Baduanjin that's unnecessary as the last two moves in our method are specifically designed to effect 'warming down'.

7 = 'Offer an egg ( glaring)'.

8 = ' Revitalise Qi"

Sorry, I think I only posted that comment as way of marking the thread, and left for vacation right afterwards.

 

See a thread in my ppf about closing routine. Add vigorous self-massage, focused chiefly on the openings of the body.

Lower your arms slowly and exhale the last breath from the last session. Then, walk away to go back to your daily routine.
