                                            I had the utmost pleasure of attending a Qigong seminar with Master Liu He this recently. The words she spoke & the Gigong practices we did were truly life changing. ⠀
⠀
If you aren’t familiar with qigong, it is an ancient form of medicine developed by Taoists, Buddhists and doctors of Chinese medicine 5000 years ago. It has been validated by scientific research to help heal & prevent physical & mental diseases. The practice involves a series of movements that activate & remove blockages of qi (the free flowing life energy that flows through our bodies). ⠀
⠀
Energetic blockages create an environment in the body where illness proliferates. Qigong allows us to nourish the internal organs & prevent disease. It is like taking a shower everyday. If we do not take a shower, we develop growths, skin issues and much more. The mind is the same way. Just like a computer crashes when overloaded, you have to wipe it clear & start over. The brain is kind of similar. ⠀
⠀
If we are constantly overwhelmed with work & life, brain space will be limited thus can feel angry, sad, fearful easily. The meditation form of Qigong brightens & clears the mind. This is true for the inner functions of our mind & body as well, especially in today's modern world. ⠀
⠀
She said something brilliant that will always stay with me. The world & technology has evolved so much but the 5 main organs (liver, spleen / digestion, kidneys, heart, lungs) inside of our bodies have not. ⠀
⠀
Yes, we have genetic upgrades but the essential functions are still the same so how can we expect our bodies to function in the same way? We have to support it and do more Qigong than ever!⠀⠀⠀⠀
