Qigong Daily Routine – Introduction

This is a replay of a live session showing you how to select the best Qigong daily routine for yourself. This lesson is for you if you feel overwhelmed with the hundreds of Qigong methods online and do not know how to choose the best ones to practice on a regular basis. I explain how to tune in to your body and mind in order to assess what you need before your practice begins. I also give you some general guidelines for formulating a Qigong routine.

You can decide on how to choose a daily Qigong routine which suits you by firstly taking the time to tune into your abdominal breathing. Then, observe the state of your body and mind, asking yourself whether you’d like to:

  • calm and clear your mind;
  • energise your body if you feel exhausted;
  • relax and stretch out specific areas of your body which you’d like to be more loose and flexible;
  • rid unpleasant physical or emotional feelings.

Qigong Daily Routine – Method

  1. Begin by taking a comfortable standing (more on Qigong stance here) or sitting position (more on seated Qigong here).
  2. Settle into your practice by relaxing your body and mind with Abdominal Breathing.
  3. Observe your physical, mental and emotional state as listed above.
  4. Choose a meditative (mind calming), moving (energising) or discharging waste Qi method as your main Qigong practice for the day.
  5. Consolidate your practice with a few abdominal breaths, taking time to observe any changes in the state of your body and mind
  • Always begin and end your practice with abdominal breathing so that you have a clear start and end point to your routine.
  • Next, discharge any stress by vibrating the body or practicing another discharging method (see below links) in order to rid waste Qi and increase your vitality.
  • Choose your main Qigong method, based on your initial observations of your body and mind.
  • Be comfortable and relaxed during your practice. If you do not feel this way then you may need to change your posture, Qigong exercise, etc. until you do feel comfortable.

Please watch the following videos I made previously which you could choose from in order to help you come up with a daily Qigong routine which works for you!

  1. Discharge Waste Qi With Vibration (to discharge waste Qi).
  2. Qigong for Cleansing (to disharge waste Qi)
  3. Qigong for Emotional Balance (to calm your mind).
  4. Ease Physical Discomfort and Pain.
  5. Qigong Recharge Exercises (for exhaustion).
  6. A Simple Qigong Stretch (to stretch the body).
