Qi For Energy At Work – Introduction
When sitting at a desk for extended periods of time it is very easy to feel stiffness, aches and pains in the muscles and joints. Also we can easily become tired and develop eye strain from too much screen time. This video focuses on three areas to help increase the flow of Qi around the body to help you feel more energised and invigorated.
These Qigong exercises also help ease any tension, pain and stiffness in the muscles. The three areas to focus on are:
Posture
Breath
Simple Qigong movements
Qigong For Energy At Work – Method
Posture – adopt the correct sitting posture, paying particular attention to the lower back, neck and shoulders.
Breath – practice a few abdominal breaths to bring more Qi into your lower abdomen.
Many other live lesson replays can be found on my blog page. Take a look at some of them to find methods that you can easily combine with this one.

Comparing Seated Qigong with Seated Meditation – Intro
When comparing seated Qigong with seated meditation, the main difference is that in seated Qigong you have the option to include MOVEMENT.
Generally speaking, a seated meditation does not include movement (only the movement of the abdomen as you are breathing). Seated meditation can focus on breathing or visualisation so involves two of the elements of Qigong; mind and breath.
Seated Qigong, however, can also include the third element, that of movement. This emphasises the fact that with Qigong we always have a CHOICE as to the structure of our routine. It also illustrates the FLEXIBILITY AND ADAPTABILITY of Qigong.
When moving the body during a seated Qigong practice you may want to choose arm or leg movements from previous live lesson replays from me. Alternatively, you can follow along with the routine here in the video which focuses on smooth flowing movements in order to create the conditions for the unimpeded movement of Qi around the body.
Integrating Seated Qigong Into Your Day
You can practice any of the movements shown in this video whenever you have 5 minutes to sit down. Even a short amount of practice can help to relieve tension in your shoulders or lower back and leave you feeling revitalised!
Below are three links to previous live Qigong lesson replays which you could combine with this Qigong practice if you would like to make a longer Qigong routine.
Many other live lesson replays can be found on my blog page so I’d encourage you to take a look at some of them and find methods which you can easily adapt to perform from a seated position.

Introduction To Seated Qigong Exercises
In this video you can follow along with some seated Qigong exercises. Sitting Qigong can be helpful for you if:
1. You are unable to stand for long periods of time;
2. A joint condition or injury which causes you pain or discomfort when standing;
3. You have problems with your balance, feel unsteady on your feet and so feel more confident exercising from a sitting posture.
The benefits of seated Qigong include:
1. Being able to practice for longer than you would from a standing position if standing leaves you feeling tired or uncomfortable;
2. Feeling much more grounded by using both the sit bones and the feet for grounding with the result that your mind feels calmer and more relaxed;
3. Being able to experience the same feelings of open and free Qi flow, especially throughout the upper body as when standing;
4. More easily being able to enjoy the flow of the breath and the focus of the mind without being distracted if the standing posture causes you physical discomfort.
2. Begin with Abdominal Breathing to get into the “Qigong State” of calm and relaxation (more details here). In turn, breathe into Dan Tian, the sit bones and the feet to encourage the movement of Qi in a downward direction so that you feel more calm and grounded.
3. In turn, begin with gentle movements to promote the free flow of Qi in the neck, shoulders, chest and upper back, taking care not to overstretch.
4. Lift one leg at a time. Repeat a few times. Then, with the leg lifted draw circles in the air with your knee. Repeat for the other side. Circle the ankles with the ball of the foot on the floor.
5. Practice the “Circles” exercise to encourage Qi circulation the four directions (see more detail here).
6. End the practice with abdominal breathing, paying attention to how you feel physically, mentally and emotionally.
Integration into Your Day
You can practice the above seated Qigong exercises:
At a desk if you are working;
On public transport (especially on a plane to help prevent swollen legs and boost leg circulation);
In any situation where you find yourself sitting for a long period of time.
These simple seated Qigong stretches will help to reduce the likelihood of your body seizing up and becoming too stiff to move easily once you stand up.
