‘Do this movement and it will fix your Kidneys’, ‘follow me through this exercise which will nourish your Liver’.
It would be nice if it worked this way but sadly, this is rarely the case. Whilst any relaxed and open, stretching movement may have benefit for the body, to really get Qigong to work to any great level, you require Qi. When we start out, we have a relatively low level of Qi, it is far from being enough to capitalize on the majority of Qigong exercises. You can think of Qi as being like the interface between what you do and the inner effects in the case of medical-type Qigong exercises. Without the Qi, the movements we do with our body will not translate well into direct changes to our inner condition.
This is why any Qigong class or system, to me, may consist of various moving practices and medical exercises but they should always be secondary to extensive Qi gathering, building and developing methods.
