I have struggled with insomnia for decades. When I was 42 I was introduced to pharmaceuticals and at some point, the wisdom of my body prompted me to seek alternative modalities for my medical conditions. I was on a cocktail of meds for over a decade and in 2012 weaned off all but one, for sleep. I am trying to wean off this pharmaceutical and am finding this routine, helpful and plan on sticking with it. I have complex-PTSD and I am thinking this is also good for that, in that in what I have read, with Chinese medicine, they don't have this, but look to imbalances in the liver, the heart, the kidneys. I'm looking to Chinese medicine and energy now for support in this journey and loving it and LOVE your videos (I was a professional dancer up until this fall and retired at the age of 60 and find your instructions super connected and can see they come from your own understanding of your own body - mahalo!)
I don't know quite how to articulate what I feel in my body, but there is this awareness that the energy has a more balanced pattern, and it with time is easing out the imbalance expressed muscularly.
I’m an old guy and have practiced Yang tai chi short for over 30 years. As I got older, into 80s, I found that taichi became a bit difficult to do the moves like stork on 1 leg & other change direction moves. Have added G’kong from the internet. Today was the first time I’ve watched your videos. Chair & sleep. Really like your style of teaching. Have not figured out how to access all of your videos on TH-cam. Notice that videos are 6 years old! Are you still there and receiving the comments? Thanks Bill From Maui, retired in Thailand
Hey, I don’t know if anyone ever experienced this but since I was a kid I hated bed time so much. Overwhelmed by anxiety and fear that I can’t sleep easily,,, surprisingly at the age of 22 I noticed that I get anxiety around my bedtime:( it is hard to admit that I have a trauma and on repeat almost every now and then. Long story short I did this exercise last night and I had a really comfortable sleep that I haven’t had for a while, all the thoughts and worries that I try to ignore wasn’t there and slept like a baby. Thank you so much I’m forever grateful and I wish soon to heal my trauma and feel comfortable around this resting time Thank you I’ll keep practicing this every night and will be back with an update Good night everyone 🤍
This is the best Qigong video I have seen. Jeffrey's approach is simple, yet comprehensive and effective. Very well done with step by step demonstration and extremely educational. Thanks for making it so simple and easy to follow, also very calming and enjoyable!👏👍
This helped me go from overthinking, stress, and body pain to calm, relaxed and peaceful. Thank you so much...I love how Qi Gong helps me feel more like myself.
This routine is just amazing.I find myself coming back to it when I feel like I don’t want to be counting the stars at 3am. It just works every time. Thank you Jeffrey🙏🏼
I find myself feeling very centred when doing this routine and able to switch off from anything going on around me. Your voice is soothing and calming too. One of my favourite routines for sure.
So surprised this actually worked! I have ADHD and peri menopausal both affect my sleep I fell asleep as soon as I lay down after doing this routine Even after doing a few things before bed
I have been practicing this every night for the last 10 days or so. Also doing Qi Gong in the morning every day. At the end of this routine just now I felt energy flowing down my body with that last exercise and my body tingled and felt warm, still does. Amazing feeling!
This video really helped me: 1st time I tried it & I woke up ready to face the world, which is saying a lot because I have profound sleep & mood issues. Thank you for helping alleviate suffering in this world with your lessons!
Jeff Chand's Qigong has been a life saver during this epidemic. Thank you so much for this. It's helping more than anything. With much appreciation and love to the global community
Thank you so much for this video 🙏🏽 I rarely have a good nights sleep but after doing this practice, I slept like a baby. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏽💙
I have grown to really love this. I wake up feeling fresh like I did as a child and sleep sooner as well as better! I have also noticed weight loss. So THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
I did my daily routine for energy then another for stress, because I'm on antibiotics it's messing with my system. So when this routine came up I layed down to just listen and now I'm so calm, I wanted to sleep right away but my alarm went off to take another pill. I'm so calm I feel like everything is right in the world.
Dear Jeffrey, I truly appreciated a lot this session i just did before going into my bed to sleep. It' very relaxing, perfect before sleeping. Thank you so much to you!
Thank you so much Jeff...practicing Qigong at your pace and with your calming, beautiful energy is an amazing experience! I relax instantaneously and have been feeling calmer and more centered!! What a blessing to have come across your program!! Namaste and blessings to you
I've been doing this practice with your guidance outside on my deck overlooking a cove on Lake Norman in NC. Watching the fireflies come out while doing this is magical. They start regularly at 8:30 EDT. Beautiful!😄
That was wonderful. It helped relieve my pain. Hopefully I will not have to take any meds for restless legs tonight. Will keep doing each night. Many thanks. Pico from Queensland Australia
Tonight is my 2nd night doing this. I feel very clear headed, no more scattered, frantic thinking about things I don't need to be worrying about. In the palms of my hands I feel a lot of warmth tonight. I did wake up last night at the usual 1-3am time (liver time) but after some deep dan tien breathing(which I learned from another one of your videos!) I was back asleep within half an hour. usually it takes me hours to fall back asleep if I'm even able to. I will say a bit of lingering pain continues in my chest on the sternum, a bit of tightness. We shall see how things change as I continue this for 2 weeks. Thank you for helping me to go to sleep with a clear head. You know what's funny? Doing this exercise tonight made the scent of my perfume fill the room. It's rare that I notice the scent this late in the day. I guess it warmed me up? I feel like it could be possible that something was oozing through my pores forcing the scent molecules into the air. Either way, it smells really good in my room right now!
Gosto muito das aulas do Jeffrey, com o cuidado que ele tem e a maneira sincera de expor os movimentos. Gostaria de ver toda a explanação em português porque moro no Brasil e amo Qigong.
Oh my God, Dr. Chand. I had such lingering pain in my neck and left shoulder, it was so painful, I have been holding onto to that pain for days. I have done about 5 other exercises with you today some specifically for this pain and whiley they decreased it the didn't eliminate the pain. THIS VIDEO ELIMINATED MY PAIN! I feel warm and soothed and able to breathe DEEP. The way you ended this is so beautiful, gentle and soothing. THANK YOU.
Ive got CMV/HPV6/Epstein barre and some odd blood work and weak kidneys. I have horrible insomnia. I’ve been doing this for about a week now, I always sleep more peacefully. In the beginning I would be in bed reading or watching tv and think awe man I’ve got to get up and do my routine. Always happy that I did. The last two days I noticed I didn’t feel like that I felt like it’s beginning to be apart of what I do before bed! The time went by quicker during the session maybe because I know the routine and it was easier to connect my own energy vs listening for ques. In any event these sessions really work! I’ve tried a couple of others and they really improved my mood! I’m going to keep on going with this! Thanks for sharing!
I have only recently found your Qi Gong lessons and have started to implement them in to my daily routines . I find them really helpful . I have been struggling with my sleep for some months looking forward to my bed after the routine and can't wait for tomorrow . Stay safe and God bless .
Toward the end of the routine I had some muscle pain. Then I broke out in a sweat all over my body and was a little light headed. I sat down. I think it was a release of soe kind. Absolutely a good energetic reaction!
Jeffrey, you are such a beautiful person. Thank you for your free gift of Qi-movement. The first time I tried this my insomnia only lasted 40 minutes instead of the usual 4 hours!! .. You have enabled me much liberation from daily fatigue and I thank you! X
Anmain point hurt so badly for me but by the end of the routine the pain was almost completely gone. Ive been suffering from insomnia for as long as I can remember. This along with medication is so helpful for me.
Thank you Jeff. I actually did this very early in the morning when I couldn’t stay in bed any longer with thoughts rushing round my head, so this helped calm them down. Have a beautiful day, blessings your way!
Thank you so much! Every time I start the exercises I begin to yawn and this is good for me. During the practice I feel completely relaxed, I appreciate your teaching.
I really need something to help my body heal and sleep better and this has really taken away some of the burning feeling I've had in my body for weeks. I feel relaxed and buzzing. I will keep up with this and see how I go!
Thank you very much - I am normally so much in alarm/alert that I never get to the stage of yearning- but I was yearning all the way through the exercises 💝🦋🌱😊
not only did you give the purrrrfect movements for sleep.but the music you chose i heard 528 hz in there that gave me a feeling of love and oneness so i thank yyyyyyou
I really enjoy your practice. They are well explained so easy to follow. During this one my body felt heavy and relaxed. I should be following asleep quickly. We shall see tomorrow . Will keep practicing it . Thank you
Im totally in love with this video! This has become my nightly routine! Ive also started my grandchildren on the road to better sleep with you! Thank you
Thankyou so much Jeffrey for your generosity in making this fabulously valuable information and tuition available. May you be very very blessed for your beautiful work 🙏🙏🙏🤗❣️
Jeffrey, this video is very calming, and I almost went to sleep. I have had sleep problems in the past years ago, but not now. This program is very effective, and I like how you integrated the meridian points through the movements. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you.
I am so happy to hear you found it helpful! It's quite common to fall asleep during the practice - that's a good sign! You're teaching your body to sleep deeply - keep up the good work!
I am glad to stumble to your channel. I find you very easy to follow through as I am oral deaf. I noticed when I do the temple rubs I feel nausea. I’m little tenser after this. I need to practice on telling my body to relax .
Thank you so much for this video, I did it for several nights and getting better each time, the excess thoughts were push away when I focused on the deep breathing and grounding to the earth is a strange feeling ! Interesting to find that the Qi is much stronger at night around 9 to 10pm. So helpful to slow down after a busy day.
7:08 for those of us returning to follow along with the exercise. If you are new here the first 7 minutes are instructions and very useful to watch.

Look up the linden method for anxiety
Excellent! Thank you!
Wonderful. I was yawning at the last movement. Sweet Dreams.
