Qigong Healing Sound For Lungs & A Meditation For Grief – Introduction

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) autumn is the season associated with the Lungs. This is the season when our Lung Qi can be more challenged by coughs, colds and infections so it’s important to do what we can to optimise Lung health.

There are many Qigong methods that can help create the conditions for open and free-flowing Qi, blood and fluid through the Lungs in order to enhance their functions of healthy breathing, protection against infection, healthy skin and regulation of fluid metabolism.

The first method below shows you a simple “discharging” exercise to rid any waste of sick Qi in the Lungs which may be impeding free flow of Qi. The second is a lovely meditation to help you release grief and sadness (the associated emotions of the Lungs in TCM), resulting in a feeling of calmness and lightness in your body and mind.

Qigong Healing Sound For Lungs & A Meditation For Grief – Method

  1. Begin by sitting or standing and performing a few abdominal breaths to bring yourself into the Qigong state.
  2. Use the “ssss” sound or the “Xia” sound to help discharge waste Qi from the Lungs. Repeat the movement and sound 6 times to each side, or for as long as it takes for you to feel a little freer in the lung area.
  3. Follow my voice for a guided meditation which will help you to process the feelings of sadness and grief.
  4. Consolidate your practice with a few abdominal breaths.

How To Get “Unstuck” With 3 Qigong Exercises – Introduction

In our modern day world with our often hectic schedules of often trying to fit too many things into our busy schedules, it is common for us to feel “stuck”. This stuck feeling can manifest either:

  1. Physically – by way of pain, clots, cramps, headaches, premenstrual tension, digestive issues or sinus/chest congestion;
  2. Mentally/Emotionally – by way of brain fog, anger, feeling unmotivated, depressed, anxious or simply “stuck in the mud”.

This stuck feeling in terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is described as stagnant Qi and can be caused by many factors, for example:

  • poor diet;
  • overeating;
  • too much screen time;
  • lack of physical movement;
  • stress;
  • excess alcohol;
  • toxins in the environment.

Three of the main systems in the body which are particularly subject to this feeling of stagnant Qi or “stuckness” are:

  • The Lung system – which when not functioning optimally can lead to a build-up of Qi in the chest manifesting as breathing difficulties, chest or sinus congestion.
  • The Spleen system – which when overcome by excess can lead to a heavy, bloated, “stuck in the mud” feeling, especially in the abdominal area as Spleen governs the whole of digestion in TCM terms.
  • The Liver system – which is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi so is often affected.

How To Get “Unstuck” With 3 Qigong Exercises – Method

  1. Begin by sitting or standing and performing a few abdominal breaths to bring yourself into the Qigong state.
  2. Release stagnant or stuck Qi in the chest and lungs with a chest opening exercise.
  3. Raising Up A Single Hand to release stuck Qi in the digestive and Spleen systems.
  4. “Polish the Table Top” and “Side Stretch” to relieve stuck Qi in the Liver system.
  5. Consolidate your practice with a few abdominal breaths.

The video replay of a live Qigong class shows you how to get “unstuck” with 3 Qigong exercises, focusing on the Lung, Spleen and Liver systems.

Lesson 81 – Qigong For Tinnitus & Ringing in the Ears (Replay of Live Lesson)

Lesson 81 – Qigong For Tinnitus & Ringing in the Ears (Replay of Live Lesson)

This video shows you some Qigong for tinnitus and ringing in the ears. It’s an ancient Qigong method called “Beating the Heavenly Drum”. This exercise also benefits the kidney system, fluid balance, helps regulate blood pressure and encourages Qi flow through the lower back. It was taught by myself, Dr. Janice Tucker, the founder of the Space To Relax Programme of Qigong video lessons.

Qigong For Tinnitus & Ringing in the Ears – Introduction

The areas around the back of the neck, up the back of the head and around the ears can be difficult to regulate in terms of Qigong. This means that Qi flow can often become stagnant or even blocked with the resulting possible symptoms:

  1. Ringing, pressure, vertigo or blocked feeling in the ears and issues with balance;
  2. Tension in the head, neck and shoulders or headaches;
  3. Mind chatter and difficulty concentrating;
  4. Because of the relationship of the ears to the Kidney system in Traditional Chinese Medcine (TCM), issues with fluid balance, blood pressure, circulation through the spine and lower back.

Qigong For Tinnitus & Ringing in the Ears. How Can It Help?

Fortunately, Qigong can be helpful in the management of tinnitus and ringing in the ears. The exercise called “Beating the Heavenly Drum” also benefits the Kidney system (which is related to the ears), lower back, blood pressure and sexuality.

In the video below, you will learn two variations of Qigong for tinnnitus and ringing in the ears.

Qigong For Tinnitus & Ringing in the Ears – Method

  1. Index Finger Closing The Ear Canal.

    Sit on the floor or on a chair.
    Begin with a few abdominal breaths to bring yourself into the “Qigong state”, calming your mind to prepare for your practice.
    Place each index finger on the tragus of the ear (see video for location) to close the ear canal.
    Close your eyes.
    Tap the index finger with the middle finger to create a hollow sound, keeping the ear canal closed.
    Repeat 12, 24 or 36 times for 3 rounds each. Do this 1-3 times per day to help reduce ringing in the ears.
    Tip: Relax your mind and take your time as you tap.


  2. Palms Closing The Ear Canal.

    Sit on the floor or a chair.
    Perform 3 abdominal breaths.
    Close your ears using the palms of your hands, fingers wrapping around the back of your head.
    Close your eyes.
    Ensure your middle fingers are positioned around the base of your skull.
    Place the tips of your index fingers on your middle fingers and “snap” the index finger down from the middle finger on to the base of the skull.
    Repeat 12, 24 or 36 times for 3 rounds each. Do this 1-3 times per day to help reduce ringing in the ears.
    Tip: Remain relaxed with your breathing and keep the shoulders down to prevent any build up of tension in the shoulders, neck and arms. Focus your mind inwards, concentrating on the sound.

For both variations of this method, you may need to practice for a few days before you observe any reduction in the ringing sound in your ears. Please remember that tinnitus is a stubborn condition to treat so please don’t expect any miracles. Any reduction in the ringing is great progress!

Note: This exercise is not a substitute for conventional medical treatment. If you are in pain or discomfort, please consult your healthcare provider or an audiologist to receive a full check up on the health of your ears.

Qigong For Before, During and After Travel – Introduction

Travelling for most of us is exciting but can also be challenging in a number of ways:

  1. We may be subjected to a change in time zone or be travelling during the night which can disrupt our sleep pattern.
  2. We may have to stand (in a queue) or sit for extended periods of time which can lead to aches, pains and stiffness as our Qi, blood and lymph do not flow as freely as when we are moving around.
  3. Our digestive system may be upset due to the consumption of different food from our usual diet or a long period of sitting which can restrict the organs in the abdominal cavity.
  4. Mentally we may feel anxiety, frustration or fear due to e.g. being late for a flight, ferry or train, cancellations of flights, traffic jams, fear of flying.

All of these challenges can lead to:

  1. Restricted circulation of Qi, blood and lymph which can cause aches, pains, stiffness or fluid retention in the limbs, back, shoulders and neck.
  2. Digestive stagnation leading to constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, bloating or indigestion.
  3. Mental and emotional stress leading to anxiety, fatigue and lack of sleep.

Qigong for Before, During and After Travel. How Can It Help?

Fortunately, Qigong can be extremely helpful before, during and after your journey. Qigong methods can help you:

  • Create the conditions for open and free flow of Qi, Blood and lymph, thereby reducing stiffness, aches and pains.
  • Stimulate Qi flow through the digestive system in order to harmonise digestion and avoid discomfort, constipation or diarrhoea.
  • Calm your mind to reduce emotional and mental stress and improve your sleep.

The routine described below and shown in the video replay on this page will help to prepare your body and mind before travel, give you some tips to use during your journey and show you how to recover as quickly as possible from your journey once it is complete.

It goes without saying that for any travel you’d be advised to stay well hydrated, avoid alcohol and get plenty of sleep beforehand.
