Qigong For Digestion – Introduction

In this video you can follow along with some Qigong for digestion. This Qigong exercise can help you if you suffer with digestive issues such as colitis, diverticulitis, IBS (see here for a previous video about IBS) and indigestion, amongst other stomach and digestive related problems. Because it communicates with all the other systems in our bodies, when our gut is healthy the rest of our body is more likely to function at its optimum. The sequence is as follows:

1. Begin with Abdominal Breathing to calm the mind and prepare yourself for your practice;

2. Raising Up A Single Hand exercise (which is part of the Ba Duan Jin – 8 Pieces of Brocade method) to harmonise and promote free flow of Qi through the digestive system;

3. The use of the acupuncture point Zusanli (Stomach 36) and how you can apply pressure to this point. This acupressure point has many effects including:
– helping to improve all issues involving the Stomach and Spleen systems, e.g. diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, nausea, digestive discomfort and pain, indigestion;
tonifying (building up) deficient Qi and/or Blood so that you feel less exhausted;
tonifying Wei (Defensive) Qi so optimising the function of the immune system;
maintaining general health, especially in cases of weakness, low energy levels and chronic illness;
– helping to stabilise mental and emotional health in cases such as depression, anxiety, nervousness, PMS.

Qigong For Anxiety & Overthinking– Introduction

In this video you can follow along with some Qigong for anxiety and overthinking. These tips will help you to improve your abdominal breathing, easing anxiety and panic. They will also help you to transform overthinking and mind chatter into a feeling of calm and focus. Lastly you’ll learn how to help reduce nausea induced by emotions (and also very helpful for simple travel sickness).

1. A simple Qigong stretch to open the chest;

2. Focusing on a longer exhalation to calm and relax the body;

3. The use of the acupuncture point Neiguan (Pericardium 6) and how you can apply pressure to this point. This acupressure point has the effect of:
calming anxiety and overthinking;
easing areas of overwhelm which come from fear and anxiety 
reducing nausea from anxiety and panic (because the channel of Qi flow runs through the chest to the heart and the upper belly area) .

Qigong For Chest Congestion & Anxiety – Introduction

In this video you can follow along with two tips in order to relieve chest congestion and feelings of anxiety or panic:

1. A simple Qigong stretch to open and promote the flow of Qi from the chest into the arms and hands;

2. The use of the acupuncture point Shanzhong (Ren 17) and how you can apply pressure to this point. This acupressure technique has the effect of helping to unblock congestion in the chest by clearing Phlegm. It also helps to resolve any anxiety and panic, helps calm heart palpitations and helps ease acid indigestion. You can perform this acupressure method when lying in bed at night, focus on abdominal breathing to help relieve stress at the end of the day. You can apply this tip just after performing the Qigong for chest congestion and anxiety stretch above.

In the live class we also spoke about how Qigong could be used to help in the management of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Ear acupuncture came up in this discussion too. The link to find out more about this and how NADA ear acupuncture was used to help emergency workers during 9/11 is here (watch the video on this page as it’s excellent!).

Qigong Face Exercises – Introduction

In this video you’ll learn a series of simple Qigong face exercises in order to stimulate the flow of Qi and blood in the face, head and neck. This has the effect of helping to improve the flow of Qi throughout the whole body because the channels of Qi flow in the head run throughout the body too. Also, the improved circulation to the face will help improve your complexion and even make you look younger! Think of it as a Qi facial without the masks and creams! 🙂 It’s the perfect exercise to perform when you wake up or as a quick “pick me up” for any time in the day you might feel a slump in your energy levels. You can perform this Qigong routine from a sitting or standing position.
