Qigong- The Mysterious Pass by Dr. Roger Jahnke from his Qi Blog- Feel the Qi

"In the tradition of Qigong it is believed that once you taste or experience one of the treasures that you are destined to pursue the cultivation of that treasure.  As you begin to deeply understand and experience your Body Essence (Jing), your Heart-Mind (Xin) or your Spirit (Shen), you will likely be inspired to cultivate them because the promise is so great.

When we cultivate Body Essence it leads to vitality and physical healing.  When we purposefully access the Heart-Mind and cultivate the treasure of the Heart-Mind Elixir it nourishes peace of mind and emotional healing.  It is a rare person who does not become attracted to having peace of mind once they have begun to experience it.  

The Spirit does not require healing; Shen is inherently and supremely well.  Shen resides within the Heart-Mind longing to be revealed, expressed, and radiated.  When the Heart-Mind is cleared of its typical restraints including fear, judgement and all sorts of trauma, Shen expresses as radiance.  The cultivation of the treasure of Spirit can trigger the release of miracles.

The Heart-Mind is the secret gate through which thoughts, feelings, emotions and attitudes are cleansed and purified.  The sincere deepening of Qi cultivation practice requires that intention and will become major focus areas in practice and in life.  In ancient traditions, retiring to a cave in the mountains or going to the desert to disassociate from the material world were primary ways to pass through the secret gate.  That is why is is often called the 'Mysterious Pass'."

According to Tai Chi for Health, "The carved turn is a perfect meditation...your body is relaxed , alert, the arms (as you hold your ski poles) loosely embracing as a ball of energy.  Center your consciousness in the body's center.  Breathe deeply and easily.  Your shoulders carry no tension..."

As you ski down a hill carving turns your movement is rooted in your feet, led by your waist and you shift your weight from the left to the right as you propel yourself."

Tai Chi can be applied to many other sports like tennis, golf, MMA, running, basketball, ballet & others- see Full article below.

Qigong Breathing Exercise

BREATHE

HEALING AFFIRMATION

ALL Channels are OPEN

Vital Energies are ABUNDANT

ALL my Bodily Functions are OPTIMAL

MY HEALTH IS VIBRANT.

INHALE SLOWLY THROUGH YOUR NOSE,

DEEP INTO THE LOWEST PART OF YOUR ABDOMEN.

PAUSE & THEN SLOWLY EXHALE.

PAY ATTENTION TO THE SENSATION.

REPEAT OFTEN.

     Proper breathing is the key to great health, stress mgmt., vitality and longevity.  It is the bridge that allows us to better connect our mind to our body.  This allows us to become more aware of every aspect of what's going on inside and outside our bodies.  Proper breathing is the key to improved circulation, increased energy and optimal elimination of toxins from our bodies.  This keeps our bodies healthy & fit, our minds clear and focused and our spirits alive.  Try the simple breathe affirmation above and just notice how you feel!

     Below I will describe one of my favorite breathing exercises called 1-3-2 breathing:

1)  Find a comfortable position seated, standing or lying on your back (I find it easier to learn to breath and therefore relax better while lying on your back).  It is good, however, to practice deep breathing in all aspects of your life.

2)  Inhale slowly through your nose, deep into the lowest part of your abdomen.  Count how many seconds it takes you to complete the full inhale.

3)  Hold for 3 times the length of time of your inhale.

4)  Exhale slowly for 2 times the length of time of your inhale.  This completes one breath cycle.

5)  Repeat for 3-10 breath cycles.

It is very important that you can remain relaxed and completely in your comfort zone during this exercise.

EXAMPLE:

Length of inhale is 6 seconds.  Hold for 18 seconds.  Exhale slowly for 12 seconds.

Enjoy this.  Enjoy the process.  Take this breathing exercise in to EVERY aspect of your life and notice  how you become more at peace, filled with joy and at an improved level of health and fitness.
