I'm the new guy here

[Equilibrium]

Hello everyone, I'm new here. I made account here yesterday "Kinkou" but I just couldn't make topic, it wasn't selectable at all, tried on all browsers but no luck, so I made new account and now it works no problem, so please delete that account.

 

I started doing Qigong 5 months ago and I'm doing it every single day since then. I'm here to learn more about it, I really enjoy it.

Hello Fa Xin and thank you.

 

I am not really sure what style of qigong I do. I am doing exercises from course "Life force energy" by Chris Bale. It's a simple qigong daily practice. And I also do qigong exercises from "8 cycles" by Robert Peng.

I guess I'll find out here how to expand my Qigong practice and from who to learn.

Thanks for your reply.

 

I googled both exercises.  I watched some videos by Chris Bale, but the exact exercises were only accessible for purchase.

 

The 8 Cycles I found on YouTube.  It is solid qigong... 

 

As far as other styles, there are many qigong styles and methods.  You'll hear terms like Spring Forest, Five Animal Frolicss, Flying Phoenix, Stillness-Movement, Pangu, Fragrance Qigong, Shibashi, 8 Brocades, and others.  They all have different arm movements and stuff but mainly the foundation is the same - relaxed awareness.

 

I started out doing Taichi qigong, then moved onto Baguazhang qigong which is based on a martial art.  It's a lot of moving around and walking.  I practiced Pangu qigong for a few years, which is similar to Reiki mixed with Qigong in that there's a conscious intent to channel energy.  I've gone back to Baguazhang qigong practice as that suits my goals the most, at the moment.

Thank you for that link, I will go through whole thread.

Wow looks like you have a lot of experience! I heard of spring forest, would that one be good for beginner like me?

It's a widely used system and seems to give good results. I don't have any personal experience with it though.  I would say research and read about the different styles, use the search function here, and see which one "calls to you".  The reason I say that is, most every qigong system will have an entry point to beginners... it really is a matter of choosing one that you feel the most comfortable with.  If you doubt a system, it won't be as effective for relaxation if your questioning it in the back of your mind. 

 

Maybe tell us what your looking for, in terms of goals.  Is it healing, or maybe to calm the mind? What do you hope to get out of it?

It would be awesome if I could get all benefits from it haha. Yeah my main goal is healing. If I have to choose one then healing.

It's likely you will get all benefits

 

Heres a spring forest beginners practice... see what you think

Spoiler

 

It's safe to say that it will be similar in results that your current practice is too.  It's mostly about learning to quiet your mind and go inside and feel the energy and flow of your body.

Heard about this guy. I will definitely try out his spring forest qigong levels.
