Private Qigong Tuition, the Embroidered Brocade
Our private Qigong tuition includes the Embroidered Brocade exercises. This tuition facilitates a deeper understanding that aids the student on their Qigong journey. With one-to-one tuition a dialogue is built up between teacher and student that can highlight strengths as well as weaknesses. This means that the student can focus on what their needs are for progress. Each student is different so the tuition is tailored to address those needs.
Although having similar names, the Embroidered Brocade and the Eight Pieces of Brocade (also known as the Ba Duan Jin) are two entirely different sets. The Embroidered Brocade is a set of seven Qigong exercises that were developed by Taiji masters to promote good health as well as the ability to root your weight and sink your Qi.
The numerous benefits of these exercises include
- Improving the ability to root physical body (the Po).
- Improving the ability to sink the Qi.
- Stimulating Qi flow in the Yin and Yang meridians of the legs.
- Stimulating Qi flow in the Arm Yin & Yang meridians.
- Opening Ming Men and Dazhui (Du Mai 14). AKA “Big Bone” this is the first thoracic vertebra, where the Qi can often get stuck.
- Bringing awareness of and building the skill of sinking the Qi while raising the Shen.
You will be taught how to all practice all seven exercises and then, through continued practice, you can increase your ability to root and sink while enhancing the quality and the flow of the Qi in your meridian system.
This private Qigong tuition is structured in order to make sure that you have all the information you need, when you need it. It covers the basics like, the proper stances, Listening Jing, etc. Listening Jing is the passive awareness of Qi and all the focus points that are necessary to make it a true Qigong exercise.
