I came back with feedback after not even 12 hours after my first time doing this. I have been struggling with anxiety and panic disorder meaning I couldn't even leave my bed and hyperventilating for hours. A doctor reccomended me this and here I am. I couldn't even do the breathing exercise (because of my anxiety and hoping with time I'll be able to do it), I only focused on movement and today has been the first day in 3 weeks in which I haven't felt anxiety and I have been very calm. I feel like it's a miracle for me! Thank you for this!

Qigong was mentioned in How to Starve Cancer by Jane McLelland. A couple days later I was in a Charity Shop and a book on Qigong was there so I bought it for £1. My wife and I were going to start together. Time passed without doing it and I had some reflexology and unprompted she told me to do Qigong The Universe has brought you and Qigong to me, thank you x

@@ACTIVEPAIR - it's wonderful to be able to practice outside and how wonderful to be 'buzzed' by the Swallows while you practice. Your meditation will work well with the Tai Chi standing meditation called 'Zhuan Zhuang' (stand like a tree).

Hello, and thank you. A question for you, did you say the hands are connected to the heart? The reason I ask is that I always have cold hands even if I am not feeling cold.

@YogaLilyStudio 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Angela, thank you for the question. Our hands are linked to our heart, lung, pericardium and more via the meridian pathways. With regular practice Qigong will regulate the Qi and blood in the body improving circulation. Maybe you could join us at our online classes via yogalily.com where I have more time to explain at my weekly classes. Warmest wishes, Lily 😊

Hello,I am 75 years old person doing Tai chi exercises since 4 years and I find 8 brocades extremely beneficial for body and mind. I do these 8 exercises almost every morning. Your way of teaching is very clear. My one question is how many repetitions of each one exercise can be practised at a session . I will be obliged to know from you. Thank you.

@YogaLilyStudio 3 жыл бұрын

Hello Ramakrishna, thank you for your kind feedback and question. The eight brocades practice is not fixed to a set amount of repetitions for the exercises. A gentler version would be to only do a repetition once each side (left & right), and the stretching up and folding down exercises just 3 times. If you wished to focus more on a single exercise, you could repeat as many times equally each side as you felt benefit. In Health Qigong we try to limit the movement to what is beneficial to you as a practitioner rather than it becoming a strenuous exercise. I hope this is helpful, and thank you for practicing together with me. ☯️😊 Lily

Hi! Is this the version officially approved by the National General Administration of Sports of China? I am researching on that version that was used in small clinical trials for treatment of knee pain and osteoarthritis.

Hello Mark, yes, you are correct. The Eight Brocades Health Qigong was developed in collaboration with the Chinese government's administration of sports and the International Health Qigong Association. They've developed quite a few wonderful practices designed for benefitting health. Eight brocades is used in hospitals in China for recover from illness and post surgery. 🙏 Lily

I am curious about the one pose called "Archer" why is the index finger pulled up and the hand at a 90 Degree angle. I thought the index finger was supposed to point out into the distance. Isnt the hand bent position "Kiu Sao" from Hung Gar. For Chi gung purpose the opening of chest, shoulder and back seems inhibited by the Kiu Sao which is more of a combat, hard style position. I have wondered about this for a long time. I appreciate any insite you can give me, thank you.

Hello John, the flexed wrist with finger pointed up is a hollow hand for collecting Qi at the 'lao gong point'. Focus on the finger tip 'Shang yang point' enhances the liver Qi, as it is opening in to the eyes regulating joints. Also around the wrist when flexed will stimulate the lung and large intestine line meridian 'tai yuan point'. One hand pushing out, the other pulling in fromt of the shoulder 'yun men point' will fully open the chest, shoulder and heart, also the upper back. There is a lot more subtle detail to this sequence and I am planning to make some videos diving deeper in to this. If you would like to subscribe you will be able to catch these when they come out. Hope this is helpful for now, 谢谢 Lily

Thank you Noel, you are correct it can be called this too. There are many translations for the BaDuanJin as they are a reference to the silken nature of the movements in the practice. Silk at the time of the forms creation was considered the most perfect and beautiful thing.

How come the movements and names are always a little different by who you learn from?

@YogaLilyStudio 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the question Tim, many of the names are interpretations of ancient texts or pictorial descriptions. As with many martial traditions and schools, names of movements have been influenced by their teachers translations through the ages, giving differing schools their own take and modifications on the names. This Eight Brocades form is the Chinese Health Qigong Association version so uses their naming convention but there are also Wudang and Shaolin versions which are subtly different again. I guess it's the human story to change, adapt or just be mistranslated through the ages. 🙏

Hi Tony, Thank you for the question and welcome to Qigong practice 😊 I would highly recommend starting with the Eight Brocades before moving on to the Five Animals.
