“Even if you’ve never heard the word ‘Qigong’ before, you have been doing it all your life, you may have just not realized it.”
Qigong means “working with energy.” It does not mean “doing your qigong exercises and meditations.”
So, yes, it is BEST if you make time to do Small Universe or the Butterfly Meditation and the healing movements.
But that’s a limited view of Qigong. You can do Qigong anywhere, anytime, all day long.
How about this?
When you go grocery shopping, try to smile with love every time someone makes eye contact with you.
Smiling opens your heart, and it helps to open the heart of the other person.
The love you share this way is the most powerful healing energy there is, and smiling releases endorphins in your own body – which help you to heal. What do you think happens when you keep doing that?
When you are standing in line, sitting in traffic, or sitting at home, practice energy breathing.
That means visualizing healing energy entering every pore of your skin, running between all your cells, and gathering deep behind your navel when you breathe in, then visualizing any pain or sickness leaving the body as smoke – out through the pores, going to the ends of the sky.
This breathing is a foundation of Spring Forest Qigong, and you can do it any time, anywhere, with no physical effort.
Before you leave the house every morning or before you go to bed every night, take a few seconds to close your eyes and give thanks for ten things in your life.
They can be as simple as, “I am thankful I have food today” or “I am thankful for a chance to have a better day today.”
Gratitude helps the kidney energy, and kidney energy is the body’s vitality.
The more you can support the kidney energy, the faster you can heal and the more energy you will have to do everything you like.
So you see my friend, you can bring your qigong practice into every moment, not just by doing movements and meditations.
