Medical Qigong

"Chinese Medical Qigong emphasizes soft, slow, rhythmic movements of the body synchronized with deep diaphragmatic breathing.  The purpose of these exercises is to stretch the tendons, loosen the joints, and tone the muscles, promote circulation of blood, and regulate all the vital functions of the body.
 The medical school adapted many forms of 'moving meditation" exercise for therapeutic use, including the ancient Taoyin and martial forms such as  the 'Eight Golden Brocades' "   D. Reid

 Medical Qigong are sets of different exercises stimulating the flow of energy in the meridians and the vital organs. The exercises are building up in a way that they stimulate the flow of energy and therefore open the network of meridians and creating space within.

It is a form of playful and inviting exercise giving joy to body and mind.
By practicing these exercises regularly, you can feel that the external movements help you to feel the internal movements of your body.
It is a way to strongly increase and improve your energy in life.

Three different sets of Medical Qigong:                

  • Five Elements Qigong or Qigong for the Seasons - The major vital organs, as the Heart, Spleen, Lungs, Kidneys, and Liver are here in the spotlight. They are connected to the Five Elements and the seasons.
    Specially designed Qigong practices for each vital organ and their related "family" organs, glands and senses will bring balance. They help to release tension and detoxify at different levels. We can start to work with one vital organ and deepen the relationship. E.g. You start in summer with the related vital organ, the heart. Investing 5-15 minutes a day for 2 weeks. We will check the results and either deepen or learn to detoxify the next vital organ in the sequence of the "Five Elements". It's astonishing, how quickly we can recover and improve our health when we detoxify our whole body!

"The Five Elements are Water, Fire, Wood, Metal and Earth. Water moistens downwards, Fire flares upwards, Wood can be bent and straightened, Metal can be moulded and can harden, Earth permits sowing, growing and reaping."
~ Shang Shu, 1000-771 BC
