Learn the 8 Brocades (Ba Duan Jin) Qigong - A classic set for overall physical and mental health and wellbeing. There are as many versions of the 8 Brocades as there are Qigong schools, and this is my particular synthesis based on the systems I have studied - In particular, "Nourishing Life Qigong", a style of Baduanjin I learned from a healer from China who could electrocute patients with his Chi (and who healed a friend of mine's paralysis with that ability).
Remember you can help support my productions by liking, commenting, subscribing, and, most of all, sharing!
If you enjoy this practice, here are some other ways to train with me:
Find me on Zoom every day at 9AM California Time for an hour long Qigong stretch, flow, and meditation class. Even weekends, yes. Flexible and affordable pricing, a fun and warm community, and no two classes are the same!
Email me for details at nick@nickloffree.com or through my website www.nickloffree.com
You can also find replays of my KZfaq LIVE classes on my Patreon, which is just $5 per month and a great affordable way to help me keep creating for you all!
I also have a TON of content on www.practyce.com, which is pretty affordable as well. I put together some seriously weird classes on there.
You can also read my articles on health, philosophy, eastern medicine, etc on my website www.nickloffree.com - or - shoot me an email at nick@nickloffree.com and ask to get on my email list and you will get my new articles and videos in your inbox as they come out.

I re-found the 'newer' 8 Brocades and happily did it and then, following my other comment , came to this one. What a great treat to be able to do 2 different but complemenatry versions. I am gently energised and pretty darn happy. Thanks, Nick.

Wow! what an amazing practice in such a beautiful setting among the swaying grasses with the sunlight and a beautiful mountain vista in the distance. I've been doing your practices in the mornings for a couple months now and am really starting to feel exhileration by activating my chi. Your story about the electric healter was inspirational and encourages me even more! I love this practice along with the 6 healing sounds and all the others. I feel as though I'm coming back to my body, mind and spirit in ways I never knew existed. Thanks for sharing your gifts and making this so much fun.

I've been doing this as a daily practice the last month or so. Your version is one of my favorite versions of it. I really like the version you do of Seperating Heaven and Earth. Have you considered doing a longer version with more repetitions of the exercises and more info on the meridians and which points to focus the mind? Again, thanks so much. Great work!!

Hi Nick, I think this is the first time I practiced this one. About 1/2 way through the Qi was moving big time! That continued through to the end. Out of all the hundreds of qigong I have followed along with for some reason this one really moved the Qi more than other exercises. Is that inherent of this particular practice? If so I’ll be doing this one more! Thanks for all you do, appreciate it! ✌️🌞

I use these for a warm up/cool down for other more strenuous exercises like push ups, ab wheels, squats ect. I just can't get on board with the fact that the 8 brocades can keep a man fit and healthy as a stand alone exercise program. Perhaps it's because I'm 63 and resistant to change that dont make sense 😂😂😂
