The
Healing Secrets of Qi Gong
Modern medicine seems to be constantly challenged
with the methods of alternative medicine, mainly when the modern
medicine fails the patient. Qi Gong is a method of healing
yourself, by discovering the inner geography of your body and
by gaining awareness and control of how your body functions
in order to heal yourself.
Dieting can seem like the never ending battle. As people strive
to lose weight, it can be frustrating when the results are
slow to come or not at all. Weight fluctuations can seem insufferable
as your inner desires to loose weight and the need to change
your eating habits. Diets usually involve changing your food
intake without increasing your self awareness. By changing
your food intake, you can inadvertently do away with the foods
that you like and need. Most diet trends don’t encourage you
to discover what is really best for you. One diet does not
fit all. This is where Qi Gong comes in, by presenting a sustainable,
self-directing approach to cultivate the knowledge of how your
body works. Qi Gong nurtures who you are instead of inhibiting
your dietary needs.
The
knowledge and practice of Qi Gong unveils how the body
can regulate itself so you can gain the power to have control
over your own weight and health. By using simple exercises
on a daily basis, you can greatly improve your digestion rate,
increase your metabolism and encourage weight loss. The students
of Qi Gong learn to use exercises that combine the posture,
gravity, breath, mind and movement together to cleanse the
Qi (the vital life force). When the Qi is in balance, all the
systems in the body become harmonized therefore improving digestion
and metabolism and relieving any ailments. As a self-healing
practice that has been widely documented in China, Qi Gong
has been proven to improve digestion and the overall health
of the one who practices it. The efficacy of the use of Qi
Gong has also been recognized in the United States by The National
Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine of the NIH
and is currently doing further research to document the long
term weight loss effectiveness.
Most
people in today’s world do not digest their food efficiently
enough and the food remains in their intestines and stagnates,
inducing many problems. This is where the practice of Qi Gong
comes in to increase the rate of digestion and effectively
improve any digestive disorders. By practicing Qi Gong regularly,
a person can be free to eat as they wish while achieving a
desirable weight. Weight loss is not just about the food you
are eating, it’s about how food is processed and digested through
your body.
Here are some exercises, which if practiced on a daily basis
after each meal, can substantially improve your digestion and
promote weight loss.
Exercise #1
By using both hands, bring your hands down with palms to the
floor, to the level of your solar plexus. Have your fingers
pointing toward each other, almost touching. Then easily start
to move your hands away from your body to become parallel with
your solar plexus (stomach area). You may feel a sensation
that you are pulling something out of your solar plexus as
if the tips of your fingers are connected by an invisible elastic
cord. As you are feeling this, move your hands apart, as far
away as possible without losing the awareness of the connection.
Hold this position until you feel like you are about to lose
the connection and then return your hands back to the starting
position. When returning your hands to the starting position,
you don’t have to think much on the action, just do what comes
naturally. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t experience the sensations
at first try, sometimes the more you practice this exercise,
the more likely to feel the sensation with little effort.
Exercise #2
Begin by repeating the first exercise, but this time you will
bring your hands to different areas of your midline. Normally
there are five areas that need treatment after eating. These
areas are: the solar plexus (stomach area), the area half way
between your navel and your solar plexus, your navel, the small
area below the navel and the stomach area above the pubic bone.
As you work these lower areas, you will need to change your
starting position to palms up. This change will normally occur
at the navel but it can be done at what ever point is more
comfortable.
