Qigong for Lifelong Health: Standing, Dissolving and Opening the Energy Gates [CD]

Does your mind frequently wander and your body fidget when you try to practice standing? Opening the Energy Gates Qigongⁱ can help you find the focus to correct your body alignments and release negative emotions. The program, based on a 3,000-year-old exercise system in China, uses gentle, effective exercises to soothe, release, balance and regenerate energy channels.

Price: $25.00

Opening the Energy Gates Qigongⁱ guides you to find the correct alignments and postures of core qigong exercises like the fundamental standing posture, Cloud Hands, Three Swings and the Spine Stretch.

Standing techniques are made up of three key segments to awaken your chi: sinking your chi, scanning your energy body and dissolving chi blockages. Cloud Hands integrates all of the principles learned in the standing postures and enables you to move your entire body as an integrated whole. Swing movements open the joints of your arms and legs and the final spinal stretch gives you control of your vertebrae, related nerves and the flow of chi.

The Qigong for Lifelong Health: Standing, Dissolving and Opening the Energy Gates CD set is a companion to the Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body book.
