Qigong to Circulate Chi
A longer routine than usual - I hope that's OK. I was really enjoying myself and lost track of time!
Here we ensure a smooth flow of chi throughout the body and energy system, to bring balance and wellbeing.
KNOCKING ON THE GATE OF LIFE
The Shaolin version of this classic enlivening warm-up today, where the toes turn outwards as you twist. Keep the arms loose and relaxed, so that the turn of the body swings them round. Loose fists knock gently on the belly and the Gate of Life point on the lower back, then on the lung points at the front of the shoulders.
SHAKING AND PATTING
Shake out any tensions, focusing on relaxing as far as possible while you bounce gently. Then we pat over all the major meridian lines of the body.
The gentle rhythmic patting resets the nervous system to the physical here and now. This gentle reminder of our current reality can resolve even strong emotional disturbances.
QI FLOW
Use the palms to lead chi around the body, holding them at a comfortable distance.
Inhale with the hands held at the sides of the hips.
Exhale as you flow down the outside of the legs.
Inhale as you draw energy from the earth up the inside of the legs to the heart.
Give out at the heart, leaving the breath still.
Inhale and gather energy from the heavens.
Exhale and bring it showering down through the body.
SWINGING ARMS
The classic medical qigong move to enliven and oxygenate the whole body. The knees do a double bounce, lifting and falling as the hands lift and fall.
QI PROTECTION
This intuitive set lets you strengthen your qi field in any way you need.
Inhale, hands held at the heart.
Exhale and push gently outwards from the body. You can push in any direction that feels best to you, or if you prefer you can follow me.
Keep the breath still as the hands return to the heart.
DRAGON BALL
This engages the whole body in an easy flowing motion, sending chi naturally through the system, and helps train you to sense chi between your hands. Chi can feel like a warmth, a magnetic charge, or a thickness in the air. If you don't feel it, no worries - it takes time to gain the sensitivity, and you're still gaining the benefits of the practice.
When you have rolled your ball of chi between your hands, in whatever way you wish, stretch your hands out before and behind you, letting that chi reach out into the world.
HAPPY VALLEY CRANE
A winter practice for the water element meridians.
Exhale as the hands circle out over the earth and one foot follows them.
Repeat.
After the third exhale, inhale and lift chi up from the earth as the foot also rises.
THE TRUE LIGHT
We pulse chi through each of the triple warmer fields here - above the head, at the heart, and at the belly.
Inhale as the hands part, and exhale as they come together. This is a good exercise for practising the opening and closing of chi. The whole body opens and expands on the inhale and gently contracts on the exhale.
HUGGING THE TREE
This foundational move, which I can't recommend enough, both increases your chi and distributes it evenly throughout your body - all without you having to do anything!
Stand with feet shoulder width apart and parallel, the knees softly bent and the tailbone slightly tucked in. This allows the spine to be straight. The crown of the head lifts to the sky.
The arms are curved and the fingers stepped up and outwards, as if you're holding a giant balloon.
This stance will naturally relax your shoulders, as your body finds the best way to hold the pose.
BRINGING DOWN THE HEAVENS
Grounding and calming.
Inhale as the hands bring chi from the earth.
Exhale and release old or stagnant energy.
Inhale and gather chi from the sky.
Exhale and bring it showering down through the body.
COMPLETION
One hand over the other on the belly as we absorb the energy we've created in this practice.
Have a wonderful rest of day!

Forgiveness is essential to qigong - it's how we truly move on. We practise forgiveness to get out of the endless replay of old 'stuff', and get back into the present moment. Your past means nothing in this moment, it's just a story your mind is telling you - probably not even the whole story. The past cannot affect your future.

Beautiful the timing was perfect. I did tho have some difficulty with coordinating my breathing with Qi protection after Swing arms - I couldnt seem to catch my breath! Love the bird orquestra in the back ground. 😉 Enjoyed the "no adds" ... I´m not sure I can feel the chi between my hands - I do though feel a particular tingling in hands and fingers when I´m doing it and after. Thks for your sharing. Sometimes I get caught up in matters and dont appear - but this practice is always present in my mind and I now know that eventually I will come back to it!! 🙂
Good to hear all that, Patricia! Understood on going from a fast breath practice to a slower one, but no worries, breathing in time is a 'nice-to-have' but not a requirement. That tingling does sound like a qi experience, if it happens during and after practice. It's different for everyone. Sometimes you'll get a 'chi creak' as well, a pleasant creaking in the joints. Your practice sounds as if it's progressing naturally, which I'm happy to hear. It does tend to come and go depending on what you need. Have a great rest of the week! 😊🌿
Wonderful to see you, Amanda! Happy New Year.
Happy New Year to you too, Theresa! I hope it's a good one 🙏🌼

@amandaflood I was a retired Tai Chi instructor for 15 years but your videos and 6 months practice got me to master's level. I could feel the Chi like "wet cement" sticking to my body. Unfortunately I ended up living on the streets because of Covid and became very ill (TCM ill so my shoulders are now very stiff and my hips are weak). I'm back practicing again and got a PC so I can follow you... I had your exercises memorised but forgot them on the streets. I'm so delighted for a new video to accompany my training. I'll be back "in tao" in a month or two thanks to you 😊 🙏

Вітаю Амандо! Привіт усім з нової Кореї, Сомалі, Бангладеш..і не тільки ... разом узятих, Це все тепер "Україна в одному флаконі(..th-cam.com/video/jndjQcGhiwM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3HKLtXcvdLqiivUXВже всі , хто називає речі своїми іменгами (а те, що діється зараз в Україні називається не інакше , як НАЦІОНАЛ -ФАШИЗМ ),вже сидять у тюрмах, або під домашнім арештом..Говорити правду можуть лише ті, хто вчасно виїхав з країни.

@@amandaflood А нам кажуть, що "воювати будуть всі.. до останнього українця.."(.Навіть найменш схильні до параноїдальних фантазій починають усвідоилювати дивний характер цієї війни, (без введення стану війни)..Хоча нас накручують, що це екзистенціяна війна для нас але ніхто з чиновників, їхніх сімей, друзів, обслуги і свити не воює, а в бідних селах вже не залишилось чоловіків. Запланований характер цієї війни вже не приховати, .Влада цілком нормально веде діалог з росією про ттрансляцію вуглеводнів по трубопроводам до Європи, але саджає до тюрем тих, хто казав, що треба "домовлятись а не воювати"(..

Добре для вас, якщо ви залишаєтесь пильними та не спите, можете звітувати, керуючись своїм судженням, не бути втягнутим. З вашої позиції це може здатися незначною втіхою, але я і я впевнений, що багато інших думають про вас і бажають вам добра. Мир, свобода, здоров'я і щастя - це не просто слова. Я щиро бажаю їх тобі.
Hello Amanda💐! I just came back from work, and I did this exercises following you. When you have started " Ignite the inner fire ", I thought it is my favourite Swimming Dragon motion, but with another name🤭🤔😉. However, at one point I've realised that actually it is a different exercise🤣🤣🤣! I carefully restart/ resumed the exercise; finally I understood that first and foremost I must read your explanations and then to do the exercises, and not the other way around 😳. Amanda, I thank you for all your effort and your goodness! Gratitude and hundreds of warm hugs! Merry Christmas with an ocean of joy! Emilia_

Thank you so much Amanda❤! Very beautiful series of exercises. Amanda I would like to know if there is a connection between Qigong practice and the elegance/grace of body movements. I see this daintiness in the way you make all the movements /exercises, and I have seen that in others instructors, as well. I wonder if a long practice of Qigong shapes the entire human being in such a way that they become like a wonderful, gracefully "jewel"? Or, is this just an individual feature? Once again, thank you so much for all your lessons, and thank you in advance for your reply🌻🌷🍀! With gratitude, Emilia_
@@mereunetulburat8022 hello Emilia! 😊 and thank you very much for your kind comments. Yes, you are right, it's qigong practice that changes the person and changes the way that they move. It takes time - when I started my teacher told me 10 years of practice. I now have 25 years! I feel very different but I am still 'me' - just more peaceful, and with better health. The movements themselves teach you, with time. Some of the learning has been very profound. I hope you will discover all this for yourself! It is a truly wonderful journey. Wishing you health and happiness 😊🙏🌿
@@amandaflood Hello, my dear Amanda! First of all thank you for your reply, and for all those wonderful wishes towards me🤗! Amanda, I want you to know that last night I read your answer, but I was (feeling) too tired to respond; however, I went to bed with your words in my mind: " the movements themselves teach you with time". Actually, I was so happy to hear this from you, because I do trust in this practice, even if I have learned Qigong from You Tube. Here, in my country, Christian Orthodox Church teaches people that all the knowledge that comes from Asia is evil and so on🙄... Literally I don't care, and I will definitely go on on my own path, the path that resonates with my being. Much gratitude and appreciation! May you have many, many beautiful years of practice and teaching from now on! ❤💐
@@mereunetulburat8022 thank you for telling me that. It is great to hear that you follow your path even when outside voices deny it! Your own comfort and peace are the best guides, and they'll always lead you out of fear.

Hello Amanda, enjoying your videos. I have practiced Qigong Shabashi for many years. It would be good to meet up and practice together and share knowledge and techniques etc. Darroch 🙏
Hi Amanda, Thank you for posting this video. Is this practice for the Summer or Autumn or it doesn't matter? Thank you.
Hello there! You're welcome, it's good to meet you! 😊 Although I tend to go with the seasons with meridian practices, it doesn't really matter, and I try to keep some general exercises as well. So in short, however you wish. Happy practising!
Hi Amanda. Thank you for posting this video. I am a big fan of your practice, as a matter of fact I've followed all your recordings so far and practise them quite often. Could I please ask regarding this as I read "heart" if this should be practised in Summer? It does says "small intestine" also, so I'm not sure... Or perhaps it doesn't really matter? Thank you.
Thank you, and sorry this has taken me so long to find. TH-cam currently doesn't tell me about comments! The short answer is, yes, it's a summer practice which focuses on the yin and yang meridians of that season - heart and small intestine. But in fact you can get benefit from any video at any time, especially if it's one you like! I tend to follow the seasons with my practice but often mix it up. It's so nice to hear that you practise along with me. Thank you. It's good to meet you! Here's to health and happiness 😊🌷
@@amandaflood Thank you for your message, Amanda and thank you for clarifying. I’m not familiar yet with the relation among the different organs in the body, meridians and so on, but I am getting more interested into it. I used to mix all the practices, now I’m trying to see if there is more effect on the health by following the seasons and by doing so, hopefully also being more in harmony with nature. It is great to practise it together. We’re a very small international group who meet on Zoom for practising Qigong. One of us introduced us to one of your videos and then I continued on from that point with your other tracks. Thank you again.
@@sheelinn2752 It took me a long time to explore the meridians in qigong and tai chi. As you say the interest develops slowly, and funnily you end up understanding it at a deeper level, because the learning develops naturally. I do like following the cycle of nature in my practice, it does feel more connected, but it's definitely not a 'should'. 😊 I love to think of your online qigong group! What a great way to find like-minded people. Many thanks and wishing you happy practising! 😊🌿

Дякую , Амандо за розуміння, і щирі побажання!
Мені "пощастило" прожити аж 20 років в Радянському Союзі(, і частково познайомитись з усіма "лайфхаками" тоталітарного режиму( , можу констатувати, що теперішній режим ще огидніший, бо з усіх сил намагається маскуватись під цивілізовану прогресивну європейськість"(..а насправді-- тотальна брехня, безправ,я, корупція, доведення людей до межі бідності. Багато сімей вже забули, що таке купувати собі новий одяг(Люди страждають від війни з одного боку, і від знущагь влади з другого(.більше мільйона силовиків, поліції, держслужбовців користуються захистом від мобілізації, і зайняті лише ретельним відловом робітників і селян , і терміновою відравкою їх на фронт., не звертаючи уваги на стан їхнього здоров,я , і ступінь готовності. У людей складається враження що основна ціль, це якнайшвидша утилізація населення(
У багатьох селах залишились одні жінки..., і водночас, чиновники і держслужбовці чудово себе почувають, отримуючи премії, матеріальні винагороди, ...По країні тисячі випадків застосування брутального насильста працівниками мобілізаційних структур, викрадення людей , утримування до 10 діб у підвалах, і гаражах..катування.., коли хтось помирає-- це пояснюється "раптовим нападом епілепсії, або алкоголною інтоксикацією"(..іі ЖОДНОГО злочинця у формі не притягнуто до відповідальності!.
Людям заборонено все: збиратись на вулицях, говорити правду, відстоювати свої права в судах, Поліція на подібні випадки не реагує, заяви приймати не хоче....натомість блогерів, правозахисників, всіх , хто намагається донести до людей правду, змушувати владу дотримуватись законності регулярно відловлюють, застосовують тиск, закривають у в,язниці.
Outstanding
Thank you! 😊🌿
I love how you seemed to follow the bird sounds for rhythm! Thank you.
Thank you Amanda! Just found your channel definitely subscribing. Keep it up🎉 The world needs your gift❤ Chief🎉
Thank you! Sorry to be so late replying. Happy practising :)
Так! Внутрішній мир і баланс--зараз найпотрібніше для нас!.☮☦🏵🍇
Привіт Сергій! Я не можу погодитись. Бажаю миру та здоров'я😊
@@amandaflood Вітаю Амандо! Дякую! Мабуть гугл-перекладач щось не так зрозумів...в українській мові "найпотрібніше" означає--дуже-дуже потрібне!, а з огляду на те, що влада зараз так захопилася "самозахистом"(, що від її рятівних ініціатив вже нема ніякого правового захисту( навіть емігрувати людям не дають, всі зачинені як у пастці(...схоже справа йде до коцтабору в межах всієї країни(...Сподівюсь світовій спільноті відомо про повний параліч прав і свобод, що навмисне вчиняється владою в Україні?(..
Мені прикро це чути, Сергію. Це звучить так, ніби ви перебуваєте на воєнному стані, який, мабуть, дуже важкий. Я не знав про проблему, про неї не повідомляли в новинах. Я дуже сподіваюся, що незабаром буде знайдено рішення.
@@amandaflood Зараз люди просто щоковані діями управлінців(, коли в 22-році почались системні репресії проти набільшої християнської кофесії у нашій країші--УПЦ, багато хто вважав, що це просто непорозуміння якесь,, далі почали ловити на вулицях чоловіків,, (при чому мілітарні рекрутингові структури, які не мають жодного права вчиняти будь-які дії щодо цивільних), і під прикриттям поліції застосовуючи фізичне насильство , погрожуючи зброєю привозити їх у накопичувальні пункти, і примушувати підписати "добровільну згоду" вступити до лав збройних сил. Не витримуючи катувань бгато людей помирають через кілька днів!.Правозахисників, що намагаються публічно звертати на це увагу піддають репресіям, , відкривають на них кримінальні справи, видумуючи фейкові звинувачення в "афільованості" з країною-нападником(..Людям категорично забороняють висловлювати свою думку, і протести, У містах Одеса, Ковель , Ворохта, обурена свавіллям влади громадськість почала виходити на протести , з вимогами звільнення незаконно полонених цивільних співгромадян, До протестуючих було застосовано засоби силового впливу, та подальші репресивні дії.
Щойно написав вам більш детально про те , що у нас діється, і повідомлення миттєво зникло(..
Thank you for doing this, one suggestion would be explain what you are doing as you do it

I have been practicing these movements this daily for a few days and now realize I´m having difficulty with the breathing Human Touching Divine. My body seems to want to exhale when I release my world and inhale as I bring it back ... and then it gets complicated for me because I wld want to inhale as I bring my world back into my heart - but I´ve just inhaled 🤦♀ - I´ve read your guidance and somehow I still seem to have a "hard" time with it .... maybe there is a pause somewhere .... help pls. thks so much
I know what you mean - the first two inhales and exhales do feel counterintuitive. The last one, when you inhale the world to your heart, then exhale as you release your arms, does feel better. I've checked, and this is what Donna Eden teaches, and I have so much respect for her. However, qigong is about play and experimentation, and it's your body! Why not try it as you instinctively want to? I'll do the same, and perhaps we can compare notes. We might even discover something! 😊
I've tried both ways and what I noticed is that when I inhale while releasing my world it's an 'out of my comfort zone' discomfort. I kind of like it. I'd be interested to know your thoughts. 😊
Just what I´ve been dealing with for the last few days - can feel the tension slowly disolving ... such a relief. Thank you!
Oh that's lovely to hear. That feeling of relief is so freeing! 😊🌿
Thank you, Amanda, for a another lovely practice.
You're very welcome, Nancy! Thanks for saying so 😊🙏
Good morning Amanda. Thank you for introducing the Summer Fire Element. Definitely after practice, my whole body is on fire with new energy to start the day and journey ahead. Stay safe, stay strong. 😊🌷🌅🔥🔥
That's wonderful to hear, Julie! Here's to a happy healthy summer ✨️🌿🙏
A wonderful practice that I will come back to often! Thank you.
Oh good. Thank you, and happy practising Carol! 😊🌿
Hi i am postmenopause and working hard at getting rid of burning mouth syndrome. I love qigong in general and will use your video. Any advise on this will be appreciated tks
I´ve just read you and then watched, and was surprised to feel how just this relaxed me and I could feel a warm heat moving in me like a wave. Now I will do it. Thank you so much for your sharing - I come and go but always come back!! 😉
Thank you Patricia! That movement of chi is so gentle and so powerful. To me this is what makes qigong so effective, and I am really happy to hear that you feel it too! Happy practising 😊🌿
Thank you there's no need for words in this mindful practice you shared
