If you have children you will know that they are balls of energy! They are always running around and sometimes it can be difficult to get them to calm down so that they can focus without distraction on schoolwork and get off to sleep at night. Children love learning Qigong, and if you teach your kids in a certain way, they will think it’s magic! This is what you’ll learn from me in the video on this page; some fun Qigong for children.

Why Use Qigong For Children?

The movements involved in Qigong exercises can help children to quickly improve their balance, flexibility, coordination, strength, agility, stamina and muscle tone.

The meditative aspects of Qigong can help children to reduce anxiety and worry, calm their minds, improve focus and concentration, release tension and improve mental clarity.

Two Qigong Methods For Children

The two simple methods below will be a good introduction for your children to Qigong. Teach them these methods first and then move on to the methods in my free 3 part Qigong video series (more details below).

Movement

Ask them to hold hands out in front of them at shoulder level with elbows straight. Make fists and then open and close quickly. Do this as fast as they can without losing tension. They often think this is good fun to try to move as fast as possible. This moves lots of Qi into the hands.

Next hold palms facing each other and close eyes. Move hands towards and away from each other slowly. Feel anything between the hands. Often they will feel some “resistance” or a “magnetic feeling” like the hands are being pulled together. They can also feel tingling, like their hands are swollen, heat and many other sensations. This is the Qi they are feeling in and between their hands. Children think this is magic!

Meditation

Ask children to lie on the floor with eyes closed. Place one hand flat on their belly. Breathe in and out through the nose feeling the belly rise as they inhale in and sink as they exhale. Encourage them to focus on the hand that is on the belly and to feel it moving up towards the ceiling and down towards the floor. Ask them to observe how they feel after doing this for 5 minutes. They should be calmer, more relaxed and at ease. For a full description of how to do Abdominal Breathing click here.
