This highly specific exercise programme is used in the East to aid weight-loss, improve the appearance of the skin, increase energy and relieve arthritis, menopause and chronic fatigue. Dance of the Dragon is tailor-made for those practitioners who would like to add a different dimension to their business or class routine. The Dance of the Dragon set routine of movements was choreographed from the original Qi Gong movements by ChiBall Master Trainer Raphael Moreno and is suitable for anyone, regardless of their age and fitness level and is ideal for the elderly or mobility impaired participants. The accompanying music CD has been composed specifically for the programme and contains two complete routines and a set meditation. The final part of all ChiBall classes is the meditation. Whilst it is easy to think that the quiet mediation part of the programme can be condensed or skipped altogether, the mind and body heal best when they are at complete rest. It is most important that in order to obtain maximum benefit from this or any ChiBall programme that the final meditation section of the class is conducted in full. Our philosophy at ChiBall is that exploration of the self, through dedicated and disciplined practice, cultivates a state of inner strength, peace and wellbeing enabling a harmonious and balanced life. The goal of all ChiBall Teachers is to provide knowledge, experience and support to their students or participants so that they may be inspired to deepen their own unique journeys towards wellness and health. We hope you enjoy your Journey! Maria-Ann

In Europe, the School of Internal Arts (pseudonym) follows key principles of the ancient Chinese text The Yijinjing (The Muscle-Tendon Change Classic) “Skeleton up, flesh down”, in its online and offline pedagogy. This article draws on an ongoing ethnographic, netnographic and cross-cultural investigation of the transmission of knowledge in this atypical association that combines Taijiquan with a range of practices such as Qigong, body loosening exercises and meditation. Exploring the ideal body cultivated by the students, we describe and illustrate key (and often overlooked) body areas—namely the spine, scapula, Kua and feet, which are continually worked on in the School of Internal Arts’ exercise-based pedagogy. We argue that Neigong and Taijiquan, rather than being forms of physical education, are vehicles for adult physical re-education. This re-education offers space in which mind-body tension built over the life course are systematically Citation: Ma, X.; Jennings, G. “Hang released through specific forms of attentive, meditative exercise to lay the foundations for a strong, the Flesh off the Bones”: Cultivating powerful body for martial artistry and health.

  • Effects of Diaphragmatic Breathing on Health: a Narrative Review
    medicines Review Effects of Diaphragmatic Breathing on Health: A Narrative Review Hidetaka Hamasaki Hamasaki Clinic, 2-21-4 Nishida, Kagoshima, Kagoshima 890-0046, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-099-2503535; Fax.: +81-099-250-1470 Received: 30 August 2020; Accepted: 13 October 2020; Published: 15 October 2020 Abstract: Background: Breathing is an essential part of life. Diaphragmatic breathing (DB) is slow and deep breathing that affects the brain and the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems through the modulation of autonomic nervous functions. However, the effects of DB on human health need to be further investigated. Methods: The author conducted a PubMed search regarding the current evidence of the effect of DB on health. Results: This review consists of a total of 10 systematic reviews and 15 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). DB appears to be effective for improving the exercise capacity and respiratory function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although the effect of DB on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with asthma needs to be investigated, it may also help in reducing stress; treating eating disorders, chronic functional constipation, hypertension, migraine, and anxiety; and improving the QoL of patients with cancer and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the cardiorespiratory fitness of patients with heart failure. Conclusions: Based on this narrative review, the exact usefulness of DB in clinical practice is unclear due to the poor quality of studies. However, it may be a feasible and practical treatment method for various disorders. Keywords: diaphragmatic breathing; abdominal breathing; breathing exercise; systematic review; randomized controlled trial; respiratory function 1.

From this samadhi state he [5] spoke the Medicine Buddha Dharani. namo bhagavate bhaiṣajyaguru vaiḍūryaprabharājāya tathāgatāya arhate samyaksambuddhāya tadyathā: oṃ bhaiṣajye bhaiṣajye mahābhaiṣajya-samudgate svāhā. The last line of the dharani is used as Bhaisajyaguru's short form mantra. There are several other mantras for the Medicine Buddha as well that are used in different schools of Vajrayana Buddhism. There are many ancient Shakti devotional songs and vibrational chants in the Hindu and Sikh traditions (found inSarbloh Granth). The recitation of the Sanskrit bij mantra MA is commonly used to call upon the Divine Mother, the Shakti, as well as the Moon.

  • The Qigong Workbook for Anxiety
    “Anxiety is part of the ‘broken brain’ syndrome that millions of Americans suffer from. Conventional medicine can mask the symptoms, but it doesn’t tackle the root cause. That’s what the total mind- body system of qigong does. In this groundbreaking workbook, Master Kam Chuen Lam shows us how to use our own life-force energy to lift our minds and bodies to a new level of wellness. Open this book to any page and you’ll find it’s one of the most practical, helpful, and friendly guidebooks to your own well-being you can imagine.” —Mark Hyman, MD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Blood Sugar Solution “Master Kam Chuen Lam’s workbook is a valuable resource for anyone dealing with anxiety, worry, or stress. The ancient healing exercises he shares from decades of experience are presented in a format that is easy to understand, learn, and practice. Having worked with some of these exercises I can per- sonally say they cultivate more peace, calm, and body awareness. This is a book I will be recommend- ing to many of my clients for years to come!” —Tahir Bhatti, MD, wellness physician, director of Integrative Holistic Services, and associate clinical professor in the department of psychology at the University of California, San Diego “In a world where everyone experiences stress and worry, what a gift it is to read The Qigong Workbook for Anxiety.

  • Zhan Zhuang Healing Qigong Course Module 1
    Zhan Zhuang Healing Qigong Course Module 1 Zhan Zhuang The first and best place to start a qigong program to rejuvenate you and reverse chronic ​ illness, strengthen the body and give you back abundant health. - If you do it... ​ ​ Other names:Standing pole, standing like a stake.. ​ I wrote this pdf specifically for the healing qigong course, and since i didn’t yet have a page on the website teaching it, I also adapted this booklet to be on the site too..(so dont be confused, I didnt just copy content off my website, I researched it, wrote this - then copied it onto my website, then sent the PDF version specifically to you! I must apologise for taking so long to get you the main module of the healing qigong course, but I got so engrossed in the research (im a bit of a nutty professor type) I nearly considered writing an entire book and doing an entire course JUST ON THIS ALONE!! Its that freaking good… I had no idea just how good… even though I have practiced it ​ ​ before and for a long time…(I became supremely healthy when I did) I just had no idea it was THIS that was providing the abundant vitality, I thought it was the chen style taijiquan that provided the health benefits…. Now, having researched it this thoroughly, im convinced 80% of that was Zhan Zhuang Suffice it to say...It is again a part of my daily health routine... Forgive me, I’m about to get all passionate and emotional about this amazing practice, I’m going to gush like a teenage girl at a rock concert… when her favorite band member winks at her… I can't help it, you see I have practiced Zhan Zhuang, since I did chen style taijiquan so many years ago… I thought all my health benefits I experienced were as a result of taijiquan and qigong alone… My story: back in about 2004 I was introduced to a Sifu from beijing who was a chen style taijiquan master, master Steven Young/ Jun Ping Liang and before every tai chi class he would make us stand in Zhan Zhuang, for about 10 to 15 minutes.
