This course covers all of the basics for successful Qigong. Including: –

• An explanation of the terms used. There are many unfamiliar terms used in Qigong and sometimes it can be confusing......... unless these terms are explained in simple, easy to understand, language.

• A glossary of common Qigong terms. This contains all the terms used in this course and a few more besides. It is a quick reference for you while doing the course.

• The stances used in Qigong. These include Wuji Stance, Horse Riding Stance, Bow Stance (also known as a Front Stance, or an Archery Stance), empty stances such as the Seven Stars Stance (Heel Stance) and the Cat Stance (Toe Stance). Without proper stance it is extremely difficult to settle the physical enough to appreciate the energetic (the Qi).

• Focusing the breath at the Dantien. At a basic (physical) level this is abdominal breathing. This, in itself, is good practice for de-stressing and remaining stress free but in Qigong you are also focusing your Qi on the Dantien.

• A Qigong exercise (Broaden the Chest, from the Taiji Shibashi) to get you started. It this lesson you will be taught what meridian and what Acupoints you should be focusing on and building the awareness of Qi in them.
