At age 68, been doing this routine daily for 9 months. It’s simple, convenient, and engenders a fluid sense of well-being. Doesn’t require special equipment or a dedicated exercise venue. I added the “scooping water” on inhale, arms carrying upward then fanning out to the sides on exhale that I came across in another Jeffrey Chand video. I do it after the squat exercise as it seems to flow naturally out of that position. His emphasis on the importance of doing this everyday for beneficial results hit home and I have adopted this routine as a daily practice. When the weather allows, I go out to the back yard as it seems outdoor practice enhances the energy harvest, as it were. It’s particularly magical under the moon and stars. It doesn’t feel like a duty or a burden but a refreshing interlude. Thank you, Jeffery Chand.
My wife and I do some of these plus some others that a local class teachers and I'm 77 and my wife is a year younger. This discipline is great for mind and body health 😁😁
I am 67 yrs old. I have been doing this daily exercise for one week and can feel the benefits already. It is something I will do the rest of my life. Thank you
Thank you Jeffery, I can’t thank you enough. I’m 77 and just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia,my Dr recommended Tai chi, Qigong every day. And this is the best one I’ve found. Cheers, I’m watching from Australia 🇦🇺🐨

I’m sorry to hear about your difficulties, but I am extremely happy to hear about how you have helped yourself! Keep up the good work and keep the Qi moving smoothly, and I’m sure things will continue to improve for you!
I came here because I've been having heart palpitations and anxiety due to stress at university, work and personal life. I've followed your practice for the first time today and I feel so much lighter but what I am most shocked about is that the heart palpitations are gone. Just like that, within minutes. Thank you so much for sharing this practice with the world, you make it so easy and fun! -Tinka
Thank you for sharing your experience! I am so glad that you have noticed a shift in your palpitations, anxiety, and stress levels! While it is amazing and wonderful, it is just your body returning back to it's natural state of balance and wellness! You are supposed to feel light, healthy, and happy :) Keep up the great work!

Hello and thank you so much Jeff and the lovely communitQi. I 64 and began doing these exercises daily about 10months ago with medical practitioner's blessing. I have fibromyalgia and cervical plates and screws. This amazing daily practice keeps me going and I'm extremely grateful. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️
I practice this daily and it really helps brighten up my day because it energizes my body & mind. I always add this to my daily morning & evening routine. By the way I'm 53 years young. All Glory to God! More power to your channel!
Doing this daily for almost 1 month and it has improved my posture, walking and sitting. I feel stronger, and this isn't even why I decided to start this morning practice. Thank you, Jeff Chand 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I had anxiety issues and was on a sabbatical from my yoga and exercise due to aches and pains n here comes your video, did it for the first time and felt awesome . Thank you Jeff n stay blessed 😊❤
Purple Swamphen good luck with your qigong. Jeff Chan is fantastic. I have been doing qigong For over a year now to help me over anxiety and some personal loss. It has helped me mentally and physically. I hope you and your family are safe through these unprecedented events, you are doing the right thing looking after your mental health at this time.
Nice Video! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Xeyack Qenaleb Bulldozer (do a search on google)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for discovering unbelievable techniques to build your Chi energy minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend Sam got astronomical success with it.

I'm in the process of experiencing a strong spiritual awakening...everything I've researched, and more importantly felt, has led me to seeking out Qi Gong. However, there are no locations immediately around me that offer this. I just wanted to comment and say THANK YOU for all the work and dedication you have put into this channel. Because of you I now have a very well explained and convenient way to continue my journey. Again, thank you SO much. It literally means the world to me 😊
Thank you so much for your comment! This is exactly why I like creating Qigong videos is to help reach people who don’t have resources immediately available. Keep up the practice and I’m sure you will feel better and better!
Laughed so hard at the pun communi qi and I was pretty miserable at the start of the video so thank you I can feel the energy change emotionally as well as physically ❤️
I am studying to be a Registered Integrated Naturotherapist and currently studying QiGong and the microcosmic orbit. This was a great exercise !! Thank you!! 🇨🇦✌️🤍🙏🏻
I've been doing this sequence daily for about 3 months now and I love it. It's helped a lot with my arthritis. There's still some pain and limited movement in some joints but these things are somehow less problematic for me than they were before. I've also found your video about qigong for a clear mind very beneficial. Thanks, Jeffrey.
Jeff, Great routine I've been doing it daily for about 3 or 4 weeks now and can already feel improvements with circulation, concentration, etc.... One of my neighbours who is originally from Beging mentioned when doing Qigong you should keep your tongue touching the roof of the mouth which helps with connecting the meridians between the front and back of the body.
Thank you for this. I am 54 with health issues and unable to be as active as I like to be, and as a result my body is not happy with me. This was great! I shared with my parents who are in their 80s and decreasing activity level and increasing health issues. Walking is a problem for them because they are afraid of falling.
10:28 15/10/2023 Thank you Jeffrey, I do some of your routines every day. This one has helped me become much more flexible and strong. I can feel the flow of energies through my body and it’s like discovering a new country! I’m 68 but I know I’ve never felt this good; not even when I was young. I have been doing short qi gong routines with Jeffrey for around two/three years and it’s a joy, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you Jeff 🧡
I have been watching/practicing the videos including this one for about 2 months. I have noticed an increase in my mental acuteness, digestion has improved and more great health benefits. Thank you for providing such great information and tools to be in harmony with ourselves and life.
I felt the qi warming up in my belly and getting my digestive juices flowing during the last exercise. This is a great, simple flow that left me feeling connected and at peace.
I'm 50 yrs old, a Reiki Master practitioner and have Sjogren's, a systemic autoimmune disease. I just started working with an acupuncturist and practiced qigong years ago and have started a daily practice along with yin yoga. Thank you so much for sharing your videos. My soon-to-be 80 yr old mom and I have just started doing your videos and we love your soothing, gentle energy and voice. Your instruction is very easy to follow. I have a lot of back issues (spinal stenosis) as well as daily joint pain that goes with my Sjogren's so the gentle movement feels really good and boosts my energy levels. Thanks so much, Jeffrey. Namaste. 🕯🙏
OMG !!! I did the whole routine and I feel great, I was a little on the depressed side but after this I feel uplifted. I don't know why it works, but it works.
There's something so calming about your voice. I love your videos and I get a burst of energy every time I do this one! It helps so much with my anxiety management and during a stressful workday. Thank you!
thank you, Jeff for your videos. I work with people with dementia both in-person and virtually so we always use your material. They are easy enough to follow and it makes them feel good about themselves. Especially, when they can follow it on their own. More power!
Thank you so much for sharing! I taught at seniors homes for many years and one can definitely see positive changes physically and mentally when people practice regularly! Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
I do your Qi gong daily and feel so much better. I feel so much relaxed and breathing has improved. I have a lot of worries that seems to get better following your videos. Thank you so much for your free videos.
Very nice routine. I am have been blending Qi Gong routines with my yoga classes which mostly consist of a 55-80 year old age group who are in relatively good shape. Your routines are smooth and very well explained with the breath and the benefits of each movement. I find it complements the yoga and has the advantage of fluid movement to offset the holding a pose for several breaths....Thanks for sharing....Richard
Just completed my 2nd week. Outstanding, Jeff. No doubt, this will aid many of us going forward, in challenging times and the good times that are coming. Keep up the great work!
Love it! Short and simple makes it doable. I attended a QiGong seminar over 10 years ago but never got into it. But now, through a healing journey of trying to cure my thyroid, anxiety and other health issues, I found you! Thank you!
Hi Jeff, I've watched a few of your videos now and think they're brilliant. Also your whole manner and approach is just lovely. I hope to be signing up very soon, Jo
Thanks so much for your videos! I have chronic pain and my muscles cramp often and joints lock so bad that I can't get them opened even by professionals sometimes because my muscles get so hard around them and I'm sooo stiff. I've been doing different qigong exercises daily from youtube for about a week now and my joints have started to pop open and I can BREATHE again!!! During this video my shoulder finally let go something made a crunch sound and my arm finally moves properly after months of ache. I watched one video and my back popped open and I was so happy I laughed and nearly cried. It was locked for a month with stinging pain. I started to notice the effects after only maybe 3 days and will absolutely keep doing this! Thank you again!
Hang in there, Kata! Same type of problem here. Good news is that Jeffrey’s kind and generous routines ALWAYS help, to one degree or another. So that’s really excellent. Quick question, with disclaimer. (Not a doctor, don’t play one on t.v., etc.) But...have you ever tried a significant increase in your magnesium intake? I personally have been dealing with Fibromyalgia symptoms, such as painful muscles, muscle cramps etc. for the past eleven years or so, and am always seeking helpful routines/supplements. I have been told by several doctors (o.k., chiropractors) that MOST people are profoundly lacking in the minerals that support our muscular/skeletal systems. And one of the greatest deficiencies is that of magnesium. Please do some research, and remember that magnesium comes in several different chemical compounds, and too much can also be harmful (causing diarrhea). I personally take a product I found on Amazon - no financial interests - called Triple Magnesium Complex. Hope this is helpful! 😊 God’s Blessings to All!
Completely new to Qigong and did this at the advice of a friend. Struggling with a deep depressive episode and by the end of this I was smiling. No idea how that happened, but I'm going to be trying this out some more.
Love the "Hiker" who walks in during filming...great relaxing setting Jeff, keep up your efforts, making the COVID-19 situation more manageable and I will be sharing these QiGong movements with the Officers at the Police Academy this coming Fall.
Hey Jeff - wow, I love your teaching style, dude. I've watched sooooooo many Qigong videos on TH-cam and other places hoping to get a beginner's level handle on this ancient art. As there are no Qigong or Taiichi instructors where I live , there are videos or books - and few of them come close to the clarity you share with us here. Thanks very much for this!
I am a faithful practitioner of Qigong, I have a favorite teacher on TH-cam but I am so happy that I've found you too :) Very refreshing and inviting. Love the new moves I learned and you're great teacher I just feel that positive vibe and good energy coming from you. Thank you!
Thank you for all your intro videos I have now signed up for your 7 day free trial and am paying for the course afterwards. These exercises are certainly unblocking my stagnant Chi as my energies are working more favourably in my life which considering the environment I am living in presently is amazing and sustaining me through very difficult situations. Here where I live we have had very, very high air pollution which hits me as I live with a genetic lung condition that has got worse as I got older, however I am managing without hospital intervention - which is none basically!!! Thank you I am enjoying my new life at 78 years, my energy from this practice just overrides the disadvantages I am experiencing.
Hi Diana! That's great that you joined the Communi Qi, there are lots of great routines for the lungs that I'm sure you will find helpful! Perhaps you haven't actually started yet but I didn't see you in the Communi Qi - when you sign up make sure use this page qigongforvitality.vhx.tv/ and click the "Start free trial" on the top right. Thanks for you comment, and I'll see in on "the Inside!" 🙂
Just found this today. I went to a Qigong workshop for the second time yesterday . I am able to easily do these routines while I found Tai Chi impossible to do in the past. I am 73 and have worked out with free weights for 41 years and been a runner and cyclist for longer than that. I am glad to be able to enter this new experience with these wonderful videos. Thank you,
I really enjoyed this routine! I also began doing more yoga. My workouts typically consist of going to the gym. I lift weights, do cardio, and core work. I’m currently traveling overseas with my husband, so it’s not really convenient to go to a gym, so I find workouts on TH-cam. I’ve been wanting to change up my routine anyway. My main focus right now is to improve my balance and flexibility. 😊
I stumbled on Qigong after watching "In Search Of: Super Humans" on the History Channel the other day. Having never heard of it before watching that show, I found myself very fascinated and went on to research it. I started watching videos and I even ordered a book. Then I came across your free video and decided to give it a try. I will try the free trial week to see what happens, and look forward to doing your routine again tomorrow upon waking. During the first move I felt some energy so it's encouraging. Thank you for making this video. You are relaxing and enjoyable to follow. Thank you :)
I love this short routine. Towards the end felt a little tingly in my thighs. I am going to practice this along with eating natural anti-inflammatory foods. I've noticed, that the better I eat, the better I feel and the better I feel, the less painful the headaches are. The less painful the headache is, the less aches I experience.
I've been practicing Traditional Kung Fu and Chi Kung for over 46 years now.. It has been my life.. I found this site and started to practice along with it, since all my time is teaching and instructing others, with no time for me..however, this suits well..although isn't as with some of my ancient Gung Fu practice..but one mustn't have tunnel vision, so am pleased to see this Asian blooded man giving respect to a practice that gives good to life.. God Bless you all.. Greg Fernandez.. .. 🤛🏽
I have decided to give this a try; mainly because this is the first time I have seen a presenter allow me the time to actually take a full breath without rushing. Thank you.
Hi! I just have to say, this is amazing! I'm a martial artist, and do a lot of strength training as well. For the past two years I've been doing Ba Duan Jin, the eight brocades. But it's never made me feel as good as your simple routine. I've only been doing it a few days, but my wounds recover faster, I recover faster after a workout, and I sleep much better. This is awesome. I think I might do this routine from now on instead of the eight brocades. Thank you so much!
I like the 8 Brocades as well, but I have heard very similar experiences such as you mentioned. In the end, we just need to get the qi to move smoothly with the least amount of stress on the body and mind. It sounds as if you are finding your way - keep it up!
@@ThinkVitalityQiGong One question if I could trouble you, does it matter how many repetitions of each exercise you do? I started doing eight of each, and 30 arm swings on each side.
Good Morning! This is my first time watching any of your videos...and I think about only my 5th time doing Qigong... I really enjoyed myself! You have such a simple and loving way of presenting the practice! I'm excited! I feel like I can actually do this every day! I'm looking forward to checking out your other resources. Thank you so much for sharing!
I just started this routine a few days ago. It's so simple to do and takes such a short amount of time that there's no reason to not fit it in daily. I'm over 80 and a regular exerciser so pretty flexible, but this routine is a good way to stay flexible. Jeff has such a lovely vibe. I never fail to laugh when the "unexpected wildlife" passes through.
Found your other video about tai chi vs. qi gong. great points and useful for me! that lead me to this one, which i found very beneficial as well. i appreciate your sincerity and energy into making this! so important always, but especially times like now.
Your videos are great! I love doing a short but effective Qi Gong video like this to prepare for giving a reiki session for someone or myself. It helps to center and ground me. Thank you so much.
Hi there, I just did this routine and I can't believe how fast I felt energized! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us I received a beautiful release :)
Jeff, I have watched this video several times, listening carefully. I did not do it because I did not think I would be able to stand and do the movements without real pain and the real risk of falling. BUT, I have been doing a regular Ba Duan Jin practice for 3 weeks where I started sitting throughout. Slowly I have begun to stand. As I do it more and more I become more stable on my feet. I am not able to do it all standing just yet, but am closer and closer. That progress gave me the confidence to try this routine today. While I cannot squat far AT ALL, I was able to do this entire routine standing! My back feels alive and so do I! Thank you very much for posting these videos and for your website with even more!
Thank you so much for putting these out here. I'm going through difficult emotional and psychological material, and your routines are really helping my body cope much more successfully with it all. Your thoughtful instruction is so well done, and so helpful.
You do such an amazing job with these simple & effective exercise videos, this is one I’ll definitely be returning to on a consistent basis. Thank you 😇
Beautiful, clear demonstrations , warmly lead. Thank you. Love the glimpse of unexpected wildlife. I now have a daily practice using these videos. Jay.
I am 65 and just started Qi Gong after a local news program recommended one of the Qi Gong exercises. It wasn’t included in this routine. It was an energizing breathing technique. I struggle with routines, but I am going to try to do Qigong daily.
Day 2 I am loving the way I feel and how peaceful I am directly after and throughout the day and night. I actually came home tonight looking forward to it and had been practicing all day (my breathing) big year for me. Great things in store❤
Have bad knees but can still do most routines. Have been doing the pre-sleep one daily for a couple of months. Love making that time bf bed a sacred special time though it’s sometimes hard to do it outside. This one will be good for starting work day and refreshing mid day. It will remind me to take a fresh air break.
I had reconstructive surgery on my nose after a failed rhinoplasty took away my ability to breathe and gave me constant panic attacks. This will help my healing physically and emotionally.
Great way to start day- not a huge time commitment I can wiggle myself out of. Appreciate the simplicity and the scenery you chose. Def appreciate the chapters so it's easier to slap past intros . Thank you
Brilliant introduction to Qi Gong. Have replaced my Yoga practice of over 20 years with Jeffrey's daily routine. I felt so relaxed and light after doing it and I intend to keep it up each day. Will try some of his other routines at a later stage. Thank you so much for your videos.
I have health issues inc being overweight partly due to lack of activity and emotional over eating. Im 55 , been doing this routine for about a week and have noticed improvement in joint pain and mobility! So i shall definately be continuing . Thank you.
At age 68, been doing this routine daily for 9 months. It’s simple, convenient, and engenders a fluid sense of well-being. Doesn’t require special equipment or a dedicated exercise venue.

Hopefully it will calm you enough to go to the airport and leave the land you illegally settled on altogether. Long live palestine.

I have been doing short qi gong routines with Jeffrey for around two/three years and it’s a joy, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you Jeff 🧡
I have been watching/practicing the videos including this one for about 2 months. I have noticed an increase in my mental acuteness, digestion has improved and more great health benefits. Thank you for providing such great information and tools to be in harmony with ourselves and life.
I felt the qi warming up in my belly and getting my digestive juices flowing during the last exercise. This is a great, simple flow that left me feeling connected and at peace.
I'm 50 yrs old, a Reiki Master practitioner and have Sjogren's, a systemic autoimmune disease. I just started working with an acupuncturist and practiced qigong years ago and have started a daily practice along with yin yoga. Thank you so much for sharing your videos. My soon-to-be 80 yr old mom and I have just started doing your videos and we love your soothing, gentle energy and voice. Your instruction is very easy to follow. I have a lot of back issues (spinal stenosis) as well as daily joint pain that goes with my Sjogren's so the gentle movement feels really good and boosts my energy levels. Thanks so much, Jeffrey. Namaste. 🕯🙏
OMG !!! I did the whole routine and I feel great, I was a little on the depressed side but after this I feel uplifted. I don't know why it works, but it works.
There's something so calming about your voice. I love your videos and I get a burst of energy every time I do this one! It helps so much with my anxiety management and during a stressful workday. Thank you!
thank you, Jeff for your videos. I work with people with dementia both in-person and virtually so we always use your material. They are easy enough to follow and it makes them feel good about themselves. Especially, when they can follow it on their own. More power!
Thank you so much for sharing!
I taught at seniors homes for many years and one can definitely see positive changes physically and mentally when people practice regularly!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
How does QG help such gravely ill people?
THANK YOU JEFF, JUST WHAT I AS LOOKNG FOR, IN MY EIGHTIES, SO GLAD I FOUND YOU, GOOD LUCK😀👍😎
That's wonderful!
Yes and I am going on 80 and surfing for a Tai Chi class. (I don't know the difference) I think this is entirely possible.
@@ThinkVitalityQiGong Just what I'm looking for too!! Cudos for a great class!
I do your Qi gong daily and feel so much better. I feel so much relaxed and breathing has improved. I have a lot of worries that seems to get better following your videos. Thank you so much for your free videos.
6:30 am here in CT, USA! Nice and cold outside. This practice warmed my heart and body ! Thank you Jeffrey! ❤️🙏🌸
Thank you. I miss going to my Tai Chi class but this will help me through this difficult time of isolation.
Very nice routine. I am have been blending Qi Gong routines with my yoga classes which mostly consist of a 55-80 year old age group who are in relatively good shape. Your routines are smooth and very well explained with the breath and the benefits of each movement. I find it complements the yoga and has the advantage of fluid movement to offset the holding a pose for several breaths....Thanks for sharing....Richard
I’ve been doing QiGong for many years and I love the effectiveness and simplicity of this daily routine. Thank you.
GD Vibes ❤️
I've been doing this routine every morning since being in lockdown over the Covid 19 crisis and I think it's brilliant! Thank you!
Just completed my 2nd week. Outstanding, Jeff. No doubt, this will aid many of us going forward, in challenging times and the good times that are coming. Keep up the great work!
After this simple ten minutes practice I can feel the buzzing all round my body 🙏 thank you.
Love it! Short and simple makes it doable. I attended a QiGong seminar over 10 years ago but never got into it. But now, through a healing journey of trying to cure my thyroid, anxiety and other health issues, I found you! Thank you!
Hi did you sort out your thyroid. I have problems with that also
Hi Jeff, I've watched a few of your videos now and think they're brilliant. Also your whole manner and approach is just lovely. I hope to be signing up very soon, Jo
Thanks so much! That would be great to see you in the Communi Qi!!
Could you please send the link to Communi Qi? Where is it?
Thanks so much for your videos! I have chronic pain and my muscles cramp often and joints lock so bad that I can't get them opened even by professionals sometimes because my muscles get so hard around them and I'm sooo stiff. I've been doing different qigong exercises daily from youtube for about a week now and my joints have started to pop open and I can BREATHE again!!! During this video my shoulder finally let go something made a crunch sound and my arm finally moves properly after months of ache. I watched one video and my back popped open and I was so happy I laughed and nearly cried. It was locked for a month with stinging pain. I started to notice the effects after only maybe 3 days and will absolutely keep doing this! Thank you again!
Hang in there, Kata! Same type of problem here. Good news is that Jeffrey’s kind and generous routines ALWAYS help, to one degree or another. So that’s really excellent.
Quick question, with disclaimer. (Not a doctor, don’t play one on t.v., etc.) But...have you ever tried a significant increase in your magnesium intake? I personally have been dealing with Fibromyalgia symptoms, such as painful muscles, muscle cramps etc. for the past eleven years or so, and am always seeking helpful routines/supplements. I have been told by several doctors (o.k., chiropractors) that MOST people are profoundly lacking in the minerals that support our muscular/skeletal systems. And one of the greatest deficiencies is that of magnesium. Please do some research, and remember that magnesium comes in several different chemical compounds, and too much can also be harmful (causing diarrhea). I personally take a product I found on Amazon - no financial interests - called Triple Magnesium Complex. Hope this is helpful!
😊
God’s Blessings to All!
@@lisastone2324 yes, I have taken extra magnesium for years and it helps a lot 🤗
I have only done this for the last 3 days and I love it. Thank you 🙏🏽
Completely new to Qigong and did this at the advice of a friend. Struggling with a deep depressive episode and by the end of this I was smiling. No idea how that happened, but I'm going to be trying this out some more.
Smiling is a great sign - keep it up!
Love the "Hiker" who walks in during filming...great relaxing setting Jeff, keep up your efforts, making the COVID-19 situation more manageable and I will be sharing these QiGong movements with the Officers at the Police Academy this coming Fall.
thank you
I had been exercising your simple and easy Qigong daily I noticed my mood swings gone and iam a happier person.
This is a wonderful routine! Thank you - really helped my depression and anxiety!
Hey Jeff - wow, I love your teaching style, dude. I've watched sooooooo many Qigong videos on TH-cam and other places hoping to get a beginner's level handle on this ancient art. As there are no Qigong or Taiichi instructors where I live , there are videos or books - and few of them come close to the clarity you share with us here. Thanks very much for this!
I am a faithful practitioner of Qigong, I have a favorite teacher on TH-cam but I am so happy that I've found you too :) Very refreshing and inviting. Love the new moves I learned and you're great teacher I just feel that positive vibe and good energy coming from you. Thank you!
Thanks so much!
Thank you for all your intro videos I have now signed up for your 7 day free trial and am paying for the course afterwards. These exercises are certainly unblocking my stagnant Chi as my energies are working more favourably in my life which considering the environment I am living in presently is amazing and sustaining me through very difficult situations. Here where I live we have had very, very high air pollution which hits me as I live with a genetic lung condition that has got worse as I got older, however I am managing without hospital intervention - which is none basically!!! Thank you I am enjoying my new life at 78 years, my energy from this practice just overrides the disadvantages I am experiencing.
Hi Diana! That's great that you joined the Communi Qi, there are lots of great routines for the lungs that I'm sure you will find helpful!
Perhaps you haven't actually started yet but I didn't see you in the Communi Qi - when you sign up make sure use this page qigongforvitality.vhx.tv/ and click the "Start free trial" on the top right.
Thanks for you comment, and I'll see in on "the Inside!" 🙂

Extremely helpful. As Lent approaches, I have committed this daily practice as part o my honoring the Divine Creator Whose spirit is within me.
Great job!
This routine has really helped me physically and mentally. Thank you for these vital resources, you make the world a better place.
Just found this today. I went to a Qigong workshop for the second time yesterday . I am able to easily do these routines while I found Tai Chi impossible to do in the past. I am 73 and have worked out with free weights for 41 years and been a runner and cyclist for longer than that. I am glad to be able to enter this new experience with these wonderful videos. Thank you,
New to Qigong but you explain and introduce so clearly and makes it Easy to follow! Gonna go with you!🙏
I really enjoyed this routine! I also began doing more yoga. My workouts typically consist of going to the gym. I lift weights, do cardio, and core work. I’m currently traveling overseas with my husband, so it’s not really convenient to go to a gym, so I find workouts on TH-cam. I’ve been wanting to change up my routine anyway. My main focus right now is to improve my balance and flexibility. 😊
This is my first experience doing Qigong. I love the energy and movement. I am using this routine as a beautiful way to start my day.
I stumbled on Qigong after watching "In Search Of: Super Humans" on the History Channel the other day. Having never heard of it before watching that show, I found myself very fascinated and went on to research it. I started watching videos and I even ordered a book. Then I came across your free video and decided to give it a try. I will try the free trial week to see what happens, and look forward to doing your routine again tomorrow upon waking. During the first move I felt some energy so it's encouraging. Thank you for making this video. You are relaxing and enjoyable to follow. Thank you :)
I love this short routine. Towards the end felt a little tingly in my thighs. I am going to practice this along with eating natural anti-inflammatory foods. I've noticed, that the better I eat, the better I feel and the better I feel, the less painful the headaches are. The less painful the headache is, the less aches I experience.
I've been practicing Traditional Kung Fu and Chi Kung for over 46 years now..
It has been my life..
I found this site and started to practice along with it, since all my time is teaching and instructing others, with no time for me..however, this suits well..although isn't as with some of my ancient Gung Fu practice..but one mustn't have tunnel vision, so am pleased to see this Asian blooded man giving respect to a practice that gives good to life..
God Bless you all..
Greg Fernandez.. .. 🤛🏽
Short and sweet, I can do this. Easy to get started
I have decided to give this a try; mainly because this is the first time I have seen a presenter allow me the time to actually take a full breath without rushing. Thank you.
Hi! I just have to say, this is amazing! I'm a martial artist, and do a lot of strength training as well. For the past two years I've been doing Ba Duan Jin, the eight brocades. But it's never made me feel as good as your simple routine. I've only been doing it a few days, but my wounds recover faster, I recover faster after a workout, and I sleep much better. This is awesome. I think I might do this routine from now on instead of the eight brocades.
Thank you so much!
I like the 8 Brocades as well, but I have heard very similar experiences such as you mentioned. In the end, we just need to get the qi to move smoothly with the least amount of stress on the body and mind.
It sounds as if you are finding your way - keep it up!
@@ThinkVitalityQiGong One question if I could trouble you, does it matter how many repetitions of each exercise you do? I started doing eight of each, and 30 arm swings on each side.
@@jackreacher4488 give yi jin jing a try too...I follow the shaolin temple Europe practice
A wonderful little routine that you can do while waiting for the morning coffee to brew. Gets you hooked :) Thank you Jeffrey!
Good Morning! This is my first time watching any of your videos...and I think about only my 5th time doing Qigong...
I really enjoyed myself! You have such a simple and loving way of presenting the practice! I'm excited! I feel like I can actually do this every day! I'm looking forward to checking out your other resources. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you Jeff, definitely feeling more at ease, centred and calm. Be well!
This is perfect! Just started but will do daily. I already feel a difference in my breathing. Thank YOU!
I just started this routine a few days ago. It's so simple to do and takes such a short amount of time that there's no reason to not fit it in daily. I'm over 80 and a regular exerciser so pretty flexible, but this routine is a good way to stay flexible. Jeff has such a lovely vibe. I never fail to laugh when the "unexpected wildlife" passes through.
Found your other video about tai chi vs. qi gong. great points and useful for me! that lead me to this one, which i found very beneficial as well. i appreciate your sincerity and energy into making this! so important always, but especially times like now.
Thank you,you're an AMAZING teacher!
As usual, deeply relaxing but also simple and invigorating. I get more out of the exercises each time I do. Thanks Jeff!
I feel the warm energy flowing through my body 👍
Your videos are great! I love doing a short but effective Qi Gong video like this to prepare for giving a reiki session for someone or myself. It helps to center and ground me. Thank you so much.
Loved it! Thank you. This was my first introduction to QiGong and I'm so excited to learn more.
I can actually do this! All us arthritic seniors bless you!!!
That's great!
Keep up the good work!
Hi there, I just did this routine and I can't believe how fast I felt energized! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us I received a beautiful release :)
That's great that you felt energized!
Jeff, I have watched this video several times, listening carefully. I did not do it because I did not think I would be able to stand and do the movements without real pain and the real risk of falling. BUT, I have been doing a regular Ba Duan Jin practice for 3 weeks where I started sitting throughout. Slowly I have begun to stand. As I do it more and more I become more stable on my feet. I am not able to do it all standing just yet, but am closer and closer. That progress gave me the confidence to try this routine today. While I cannot squat far AT ALL, I was able to do this entire routine standing! My back feels alive and so do I! Thank you very much for posting these videos and for your website with even more!
Thank you so much for putting these out here. I'm going through difficult emotional and psychological material, and your routines are really helping my body cope much more successfully with it all. Your thoughtful instruction is so well done, and so helpful.
Ten months into this daily and has now become a way of life....thank you!
You do such an amazing job with these simple & effective exercise videos, this is one I’ll definitely be returning to on a consistent basis. Thank you 😇
Im so glad this showed up in my feed!! I’ve been searching for you! ❤
This is great! Thank you.
I have a few conditions that I’m hopeful this clears up.
Amazing! First practice for me. Was feeling sluggish and this helped to energize me. Will make it a consistent morning practice.
Beautiful, clear demonstrations , warmly lead. Thank you.
Love the glimpse of unexpected wildlife.
I now have a daily practice using these videos.
Jay.
That' wonderful to hear!
Yes, you never know when "wild life" appears :)
I feel really recharged after just 10 minutes, thanks!
Thanks for helping me start my day with laughter Jeff. You always make me laugh. Unexpected wildlife. I'm still laughing and smiling :)
Well, you have to keep aware at all times, you never know what can appear when you're out in the wild :)
I am 65 and just started Qi Gong after a local news program recommended one of the Qi Gong exercises. It wasn’t included in this routine. It was an energizing breathing technique. I struggle with routines, but I am going to try to do Qigong daily.
Yes it’s very helpful and has been used for centuries with excellent results!
Thank you very much, easy and deeply effective and a very kind e serene teacher. Thank you from Milan, Italy.
Thank you so much and you're most welcome!🙂
My first day trying Qigong. Thanks for guiding me! Looking forward to getting deeper into this.
Wonderful!
It is a key to acknowledging ones self
Thank you so much! I signed up for a Qi gong class which was cancelled and I am excited to learn more about this healing practice :)
Day 2 I am loving the way I feel and how peaceful I am directly after and throughout the day and night. I actually came home tonight looking forward to it and had been practicing all day (my breathing) big year for me. Great things in store❤
Excellent!
Yes, this will be a great year for you!
Have bad knees but can still do most routines. Have been doing the pre-sleep one daily for a couple of months. Love making that time bf bed a sacred special time though it’s sometimes hard to do it outside. This one will be good for starting work day and refreshing mid day. It will remind me to take a fresh air break.
Thanks Jeffrey - a nice, easy practice which got me up off the sofa!
Are you still off the sofa?
I had reconstructive surgery on my nose after a failed rhinoplasty took away my ability to breathe and gave me constant panic attacks. This will help my healing physically and emotionally.
unexpected wild life ! made me burst laughing while doing the movements ;)
Haha same! Didn't see that coming lol
It scared me the first time I saw this. 🤣
Great way to start day- not a huge time commitment I can wiggle myself out of. Appreciate the simplicity and the scenery you chose. Def appreciate the chapters so it's easier to slap past intros . Thank you
Brilliant introduction to Qi Gong. Have replaced my Yoga practice of over 20 years with Jeffrey's daily routine. I felt so relaxed and light after doing it and I intend to keep it up each day. Will try some of his other routines at a later stage. Thank you so much for your videos.
You're very welcome!
I joined the membership and it's been the best thing ever! So much to learn and Jeff is a GREAT teacher!
I have health issues inc being overweight partly due to lack of activity and emotional over eating. Im 55 , been doing this routine for about a week and have noticed improvement in joint pain and mobility! So i shall definately be continuing . Thank you.
That's great, keep it up!
