Practicing Qi Gong is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Learn to shake your body like a tree in one of the Qi Gong practices:
Come onto your toes.
Land down and connect with the ground through your feet.
Allow your feet to sink.
Let your shoulders sink.
Allow your chest to sink.
Ground Qi from your tailbone down to the earth.
Start by placing your hands around the bottom of your belly to feel the Qi.
Now, let your stomach sink as well.
Feel it, and then allow your neck and head to rise without lifting your shoulders.
You can slightly tuck in your chin.
Everything is sunk, except the neck and head, which are lifted toward the heavens.
Once you learn how to control and simultaneously let go, you’ll start feeling the energy.
Concentrate and begin shaking.
Your feet shake.
Your buttocks shake.
Your stomach shakes.
Your waist shakes.
Your shoulders shake.
Your neck shakes.
Your hands shake.
Your face shakes.
Your cheeks shake.
Your mouth shakes.
Even your hair shakes.
Keep shaking until you feel that you are losing the sense of time, thoughts fade away, and you find yourself in a standing, shaking meditation.
Note: To release tension in the belly area, gently move your fingers around the belly button, feeling for any tension. Stay on any tense spots and massage gently until the tension dissipates.
This post was inspired by last night’s strong winds.
