Developing Wei qi

Recommended Posts

Can anybody give some pointers on developing guardian or wei chi? I have to be very close to lots of sick people all day at work. Thanks--Dan

In an nutshell: The outer is only as strong as the inner...

 

Focus and developer the inner; be aware of the outer.

 

Such awareness in practice is really intent. There are practices for this but the best way involves pairs and groups practices.

 

If you're just practicing with yourself, get outside of yourself if you want to develop Wei Qi...

 

JMO.

what Dawei said is of course fundamentally where it's at. But you can do some specific things:

 

slapping/striking the body. There are many techniques and tools

self-massage, ditto the many techniques

cold showers

hot/cold alternating showers

hot sauna

dry brushing the entire body

eating chili (hot enough to make you sweat i.e. keep the mucous membranes lubricated)

drinking enough water during the day

barefooting

moderate exercise (avoid extremes)

qigong/martial arts specifically with the connective tissue/fascia in mind

belly breathing; whole body breathing; four or five gates breath

good food

 

I do all of these ....

 

and there are probably many other things.
