🦋 loads of pure grattitude Master Shi Heng Yi, so moving with the sweet 🐱 with you, your inspiration & innerstrenght are so inspirational 🙏 , from belgium
Is there any chance you might do a video on controlling physical pain? I have a neck injury with 3 degenerated disks and I'm struggling to meditate while sitting because the neck pain is so distracting.
Your Qigong instruction has been helping me hugely to overcome a lifetime of pain & disability, so thank you so much for that!
Greetings from Canary Islands
I really appreciate to have the chance to get your knowledges.
I decided to heal my body and mind and change my energy through the attitude, thoughts and by learning Chi Kung, and then I know you. And I know It isn' t a random thing.
Thank you very much, It is a gift. I would like to go and visit the Temple some day.
Master Shi Heng Yi, thank you for opening up this knowledge and sharing your teachings! You speak of two breaths. One of these two breaths would seem to be most useful for the majority of Qi Gong practice. Would this be correct or do both breaths share equally in the process depending on the form? Also, could or should "direct" breath be used for our daily non Qi Gong waking activities? Head bowed, hands in prayer...
Thank you for sharing. Really works.
I noticed all of his courses are absolutely free - A true Master 🙏🏻❤️
@goggles789 couldn't agree more. In a traditional Chinese master disciple relationship, food and board was expected for the master. Not sure where this whole "teaching free is the way of a true master" thing comes from but it seems pervasive
@@leifa888 when you master your understanding of eternal abundance, it leaves space to give freely.
People who give nothing in exchange for teachings often don't tend to get as much out of them and usually have less appreciation and hence value for what is being taught, so there is actually some value in Master's charging something when the person has something to give.
@@tanyabrown9839 that l find is not quite true. I for one appreciate the fact that his courses are free and l value his teachings cause l cannot afford them if l have to pay for them. I am sure he is blessed in return when he shares his teachings without charging
I agree. I can not afford to pay, so I am eternally grateful that he shares this content.
I can't believe that I discovered this channel. life is a miracle, we are so blessed to be able to watch this at home!!!
I find Master Yi a calming force. The world is a better place with him and his way.
🐶🐶🐈 the audience is so absorbed in what he says!! So ❤
damn that was intense! i'm a dog too...they felt his energy and were kyna mesmerized
yes, the last seconds - very beautiful to see this
The cat making it clear it was about to leave.
Cat "I can breathe, no need for lessons. Bye."
Really 🐑
Whenever I Stand Like A Tree one of our dogs always stares at me like I just learned how to speak dog, or something. Hard to describe, but he's very happy and interested.
It's always easy to recognize a genuinely nice and good-hearted person.
Some evil people can deceive you
I just beginning Qi Qong. I was doing a lots of Thai boxing, full contact, french boxing, Krav Maga... But something was missing me. I was laughing at the people who were doing yoga. Life had put Kundalini Yoga on my way. That had changed everything in my life. I'm much more patient, calm, confidence, and a real peace inside me. I'm really happy to had find your video. Love from Biarritz. Thank you 🙏
And the end of the video is wonderful. With the dogs and the cat, watching, relaxed, as if they were enjoying seeing the energy Shifu moved😍
Love to see that his audience are speechless with adoration & content
I had the honor to meet and train along side with Shi Heng Yi in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Very open minded person and extremely calm. The last part @ around 12:30 in to the video I remember doing that stance and when I was finished with the session I felt so much energy within me and my body felt light almost like as if you were floating best way for me to describe it, greatest feeling ever. Great experience in Thailand and to have an opportunity to converse with Shi Heng Yi. So happy to find the TH-cam Channel.
@Gold Shine I hope you resolve the lies in your heart.
@Gold Shine You're obsessed with lies, friend.
You're going to see lies everywhere because they are in your eyes, in your ears, in your mind, in your heart.
The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves, anyway.
If your concept of happiness depends on others telling you the 'truth', then our conversation has no foundation.
Internet conversations often have this nature.
@Gold Shine Funny thing about perspective is that wether you think if I am lying or if I am not... you're right.
Have a wonderful day.
I also found the forms very invigorating very quickly...but one thing Im not sure is on exhalation do you PACK this QI into the entire body or just the extended arms?
@Gold Shine xD hahhaa
The ending is the gold part when all life forms are witnessing
The most attentive students I have ever seen! 😇
The dogs and cat at the end... priceless!!
Thank you for the excellent content.
😂
They are watching him that's so interesting. They can probably see the energy
The best audience
I'm sure the dogs and cats at the temple know more about Kung Fu than I do, 'cause they're with Shifu all the time! The end is such a lovely scene; they are completely mesmerized by Shifu's performance. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
感谢师傅能把佛教的文化和功夫传扬到欧洲，让更多人脱离苦难。
Lucky cat so close to you. I 💯 noticed its breathing was synchronised with yours. Peace to all from Ireland 🙏
I wish I wouldn't waste 35+ years doing/practicing other exercises! Thank you, Master Yi.
Haha, I just loved that ending with the animals watching. Thanks for another great video. I've been basically playing with energy during my Qi Gong practices but not really knowing what to do with it so this video is very helpful to me.
Dear Master Shi, your students in this video are the most beautiful, attentive and loving of any other student! Full of gratitudine for sharing this beatiful mindful intentions here 🙏 Blessing you
Waouh waouh waouh ! So much electricity and sudden warmth in the palm of my hand ! 🎉
I feel that this could be used for healing !
Thank you soooo much for this, Master Shi Heng Yi ! 🙏🏻 ☀️
Ой какая классная троица учеников.😊
Qi, intention and breath move together like the horse and the rider. Thank you for reminding me. Plus the pore breathing. This is soo deep. No wonder some kung fu and tai chi masters jealously keep this a secret. When its a very powerful piece of wisdom. And you, dear ShiHengYi in your infinite compassion and empathy, just shared it with us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖💖✨✨🌌
I am sometimes amazed at how often Shi Heng Yi closely matches my own convictions about Qigong. He is the real deal, a voice which speaks with real gravitas. He is magnificent.
He is so aware his message is beautiful and soothing. Could listen to him all day for the peace he shares and for his deep knowledge.
Sooo love the last pic of the video ❤❤❤
A super, authentic Video with a top Master. The End was sweet with the Cats, dogs..❤️🤗
I just love the dogs watching you in the same way i did 🤗. Camilla
I have lung problems and for the first time since I have been following you (about three months), I have been able to take a long inhale and exhale slowly. I did tai chi for a while but this Qi Gong has done so much for me! Thank you!
When exhaling and releasing the intention, do we tighten our muscles?
I have weak lungs too. I have been doing these exercises the past 20 months. ....my breathing is so much better! Thank you so much, Master.
His live students are very attentive and respectful, I would be drooling😊
I was working out about two months ago and I found myself breathing into the muscles of my left and right arm, during the exercise I felt the life force running from my shoulders to the palm of my hands. It was very powerful, with each focused breath the chi got stronger. I’m sure my guides put this video on because they wanted to show me how to recharge my spiritual batteries 🔋. I was running on E.
Thank you .🙏🏾
Blessed to have found you and this beautiful channel.
Thank you for all you give in helping so many🙏🏻
Look back 4 years ago my breathing volume is smaller, I always practice breathing technique skills, my volume is bigger than before, so my mindful live is very happy and full of
pleasant and beware my behavior and thoughts, I use these benefits to influence my beloved family, my surroundings and people who trust QiGong. This is my wonderful lifestyle 💪😅❤
Wish I had a person like him in my life 😊
You do have....hes here for all of us...l often watch and listen when l feel at a loss.
Shifu, thank you so much, that’s extremely valuable! Now I finally realized what my yoga master does in poses, he packs Qi into them. Thank you so much 🌞🙏 and the ending is epic!! The furry masters are waiting for the grand master 🥰
Le yoga est le qi gong indien et le qi gong est le yoga chinois 🙏
Seeing the application is priceless. Knowledge is nothing unless doing. His concentration and focus is admirable. Love the ending. Thank you
Love this! Thank you for sharing! The rapt attention of the audience at the end 😍🐶🐱🙏
Adorable audience !
How focused were they! 😂
wow
There was a part where I thought I could hear a dog breathing! I was thinking the dog might belong to someone in the audience...had no idea the dog WAS the audience! Haha
Sages always atract animal love ! 😊😇💟🙏👀🐄🐿🐦🦚🦎🦋💐🌻🌷🐾🐈🐕
Dankeschön!!!!!!!!
Master thank you for your teaching and willing to help others to find theirs own way.
Time does not heal all wounds:
Breathing does.
Even in a wound
There is a power to heal.
Just with breathing and intention,
We can nourish our body.
There are no words to express my gratitude. For me, the most important is how to nurish the body with Qi or Prana. For me, the teaching of this Shifu's video is a real treasure. I understood everything except :"Partially the intention stays in the - limp- that you justo nourished" I don't understamd the Word "limp" 🥺. It's in the minute 8:12. But everything else i could understand👏. Amituofo 🙏 from Barcelona 🤍📿✨☯️🧘🕉️
Soft
Thanks✨🙏
OMG... such miraculous knowledge... OMG 🙌
I focused and immediately felt both breathing exercises as you demonstrated. A new realisation of how truly powerful our life force of just one breath can be, if we really focus. Gratitude and blessings 🦋🌅🙏
Love the surprising ending :-). Martial arts and Taiji are both inspired by nature and it's so nice to see that everything is in harmony all the way through the video. I like it that it's embracing both theory and practice, everyday life and monastic life. In China monastic lives are secret and it's very hard for ordinary people to access the ancient teachings. I feel very grateful that after 5 years of living in the west and just before I am ready to move back to China, I came across your free videos recently and get to understand the meanings behind those movements, not just the forms but also essence, which helps tremendously with practice and perseverance. Thank you!
Dear Master Chi Heng Yi, it was a joy to watch this TH-cam and listen to your instructions. I was touched. You carry such a beautiful mixture of clarity, humbleness, purity, gentleness, ease of mastery and dedication to giving. Something passes through you. I am very inspired to practise these breathing methods. I broke my arm a few days ago and was looking for a way to strengthen my bones and support my healing. And I will study more of your teachings.
I want to express a great amount of gratitude to the instructor and those who took part in producing their time and energy with this.
Quite elated for all you did and do for any further pieces.
Rob
Master Shi Heng Yi is really Great! I have so much respect for him! I listen to his teachings religiously! From all of my heart I would like to thank Master for sharing his wisdom, knowledge and love with many people around the World! 🙏
Oh my !!! What a lovely scene at the end. Again thank you for guiding us through your teachings!!! Amituofo🙏🙏🙏🙏
I was searching for many years. And then I found you or rather I found me😊😇. I absolutely love you. It is purely a spiritual love. You are full of life🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The same 💗. Such a deLIGHT !
Die Worte ließen mich sofort tiefe Dankbarkeit fühlen, danke für diese Erinnerung! Alles Gute Ihnen und vielen Dank für Ihren Online-Content.
🍀🐞🙏🐞🍀
Wie süß die Katze 😊 steht dir , sieht aus wie ein kleiner Tiger 😉
Changed my life. Love you Shi Heng Yi ❤
Master Yi, I find your talks are calming and enlightening to me... IAM ever greatful for you and your time 😇🙏
This is deep, very deep. Thank you for sharing your wisdom 🙏
I just love to listen to shifu shi heng yi, he brings me peace, every time I hear him he makes so much real sense. This master is an amazing person he gives so much to others. I could listen to you all day long, I wish one day I could have met you in real life, unfortunately we are an ocean away very difficult right now.
I have listened to many masters but you were the one that got my whole hearted attention and you have the best explanation, transforming negative information into positive in all aspects of life and you are very inviting and your gentle way of speaking can soothe the soul with your calmness. It is a great honour and pleasure to listen to you! I really enjoy and Love to see you every day!!
I would love to see more interviews of you, I am sure it is due to the pandemic at the moment. I look forward to see new videos in the future. Stay safe Shifu 🙏🏻
I don't believe I came across you by accident, I found you just when I needed you. I was talking to a friend today who told me I had so much spirituality that I should do something with that side of me. Then I find the life force video 😊
(Love the animals looking at you like the students, so beautiful.)
Thank you so much for the lessons you are teaching me. 🙏
the end of the video got me, master Shi Heng Yi having the best students puting all atention to his wisdom, thank you so much
Please accept my grear respect and gratitude for the valuable lessons you share. Only true Master like you will explain the major details to the public for free. In addition the music
The music itself is nourishing and soothing 💚. My gratitude and respect - again.
Thank you for new teaching. I have been waiting. This is a game changer. I appreciate your teachings.. 71 year old American in Thailand. Looking forward to more.
Thankyou 🙏
Thank you. Much enjoyed you sharing your animals with us too! They are precious. I love the peaceful nature of this.
Yes Master Shi Heng Yi breathing is essential. I never looked at it on the level of life entering and exiting the body.
Thank you for expanding my view and ability to breath more conceptually.
Once watching you Qi
Moving to my heart
Thanks from my heart

Thank you so much O great Master. Just tow days before I find you and now completely bow down to you to your great energy. 🙏🙏🙏🌌🌌🌌
A decade ago this information would cost a trip around the world and a great amount of effort to attain. Now we can access the same information for (almost)free take not for granted the power inherent to this knowledge. Take it as he says and MAKE IT REAL!
How great the explanation of the Breathing methods is, Master Shi! Huge thanks and I dedicate the merit obtained to you and sentient beings. 🇦🇺🙏
I am speachles, exactly what I needed in this moment to add to my practice. Thank you with much gratitude for transmiting these priceless treasures 🙏🏻❤️.
Thank you Master Shi for showing and explaining it. We are all life forms, together with the dogs and cat! Waht a great video!
Very powerful lessons & practices. Been practicing Ba Duan Jing for over 2 months & feeling the positive effects. Thank you!
Greetings from Greece Master !!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge wisdom and experiences in all of your videos!
We feel really blessed! 🙏🏻
Qi Gong is been the 2nd best fitting exercised for my present age as teenager i did the method of Taekwondo now i am very happy and healthier and i thank you Master for continuing teaching me.
Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing your wisdom. The world I live are in desperate need of zen 🙏🏿. Your spirit is calming. It gets difficult to ignore how handsome you are sometimes so I have to watch a few times to get understanding and focus. ☺️...please keep sharing as I will keep practicing. 🙏🏿
Thank you so much ! I have been practicing Qigong for the last five years and with your instructions I keep going to practice Qigong with more clear understanding.
Thank you. Your four-legged students have very focused chi !
Thank you master! I'm beginning my journey from this video, I'll use every knowledge I get from master.
5000 years of knowledge not lost, thank you. am learning and integrating these techniques into my every moment 🙏 sending love and light and wishing infinite blessings on you and these endeavors as they benefit humankind 🌹
Thank you Sifu Shi Heng Yi! Your teaching is clear and generous . I recently discovered by myself the direct breathing of deepening and ' compressing' the qi into my Dan Tian on the IN breath , and then ' locking' in the qi on the OUT breath. This video confirms that I am on the 'right path'. This is an important video for any practioner of qi gong.
Que ternura sus mascotas 😍 me lleno de alegría con vuestra enseñanza 🤗🙏
man I love these videos and that cat sure didn't look too happy and when he sneezed I was cracking up. I can't thank you enough for bringing this to TH-cam!

IN JUST A FEW MINUTES TO TRANSMIT THIS WISDOM IT SETS THE QUESTIONS AND THE BALL OF CONNECTION AND INSPIRATION IN MY MIND TO START ROLLING.... THESE POSTURES AND SMALL EXPERIENCES CHANGED MY INNER THOUGHTS/ UNDERSTANDINGS/ FEELNGS ABOUT THE LIFE FORCE AND OURSELVES... MASTER SHI HENG YI, YOUR PRESCENSE TRANSMITS EVERYTHING THROUGH THIS VIDEO . THANK YOU.
Good morning! How beautifully Shifu has interpreted what a breath, inhaling and exhaling, means for us. Thank you. 阿弥陀佛！

Shi Heng Yi: "When we breathe we exchange oxygen..."
Cat: *starts coughing*
That was funny =)
This is such an important theme and thank you sooo much for sharing this.
Cats actually do qi gong when they wake up.
Then, after that, they go on with expelling the hair balls. :)
It is natural for the cat.
Focus, intention, and focused intention. Thank you for this lesson Master Shi.
Thank you for your knowledge and your peace. I just saw you for the first time on Ted Talks and I'm sooo glad I found your channel on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and peace.
Thank you so much for this Shifu. I have done morning practice 1-6, going back through to see if I’ve improved, adding certain breathing practices to my days now and being more aware. I just have to get down and practice the breathing and movements and remember all of the artful movements that you have provided to us. It has changed my perspective a little thus far. I just wanted to say thank you
