Step 1
Find an instructor or Chi Gong (Qigong) instructional video. An instructor should have completed Qigong Certification Training or otherwise have sufficient knowledge of the Chi Gong practice.
-
Step 2
Schedule or block out a time frame with a Chi Gong instructor to perform the Chi Gong meditation, breathing, and exercise practices. If using an instructional video you'll still need to schedule time for yourself in order to be sure that you'll learn Chi Gong.
-
Step 3
Learn from the Chi Gong video or instructor the ways of the healing Chi Gong method. Imitate and do exactly what is being shown to you through the instructional method of your choice. If you'd like to practice the Standing Posture of Qigong Healing then follow the next section.
-
Step 4
Schedule a block of time each week where you can practice again either with yourself or the instructor. Make a promise to yourself that you will practice the healing method of Chi Gong exercises at least once a week in order to reap the full benefits of this ancient Chinese healing method!
-
Step 1
Begin the Qigong "Standing" posture by standing in a natural position with your hands at the side of your body and your whole face relaxed. Focus on being completely relaxed throughout your entire body, since relaxation is one of the goals in the Qigong Standing method of exercise. The benefits of practicing the Chi Gong (Qigong) Healing method and being relaxed include increased energy, increased strength of the legs, and even peace of mind.
-
Step 2
Bend your knees slowly while completely relaxing your hips. The purpose of this is to shift your weight and center of gravity downwards so that your bottom half feels heavy. Standing with your knees slightly bent also strengthens the legs and calves. Begin to shift your weight to the right leg, still standing with your knees slightly bent.
-
Step 3
Maintain your weight on your right leg and slowly lift your left heel and toes off the ground and step your leg out to about shoulder-width. Try to maintain your weight on your right leg while doing this, as well as maintaining your relaxed state. After lowering your left heel and toes to the ground, begin shifting your center of gravity back to the middle and center of your body as in the beginning of this exercise. By this time you should be standing with your knees slightly bent again while standing on both feet.
-
Step 4
Bring your focus on relaxing your entire body once again. Closing your eyes is optional at this point, although it may help you meditate and focus on relaxation and healing.
-
Step 5
Bring your arms slowly out in front of your body as if you are about to give a hug to a large tree. While performing this step your wrists, fingers, and hands should also be completely relaxed. While standing in this position with your arms out, keep your back straight while pushing your chest outwards.
-
Step 6
Relax all areas of your body, including your face, hips, legs, back, and spine. Hold this position for at least 20 minutes; your arms should still be out in front of you. Focus on relaxing your body and meditating. You may repeat a certain phrase, if desired, to keep you on track.
-
Step 7
End the Qigong "Standing" Posture. Slowing come back to your original standing position. Continue to focus mentally on relaxing your entire body while ending the practice this session.
