Shen Qigong class – 2023.09.21

Shen Qigong class – Working with the Extraordinary Meridians Qigong

The Extraordinary Meridians Qigong (also known as the Eight Exceptional Vessels) access the Vessels that act as reservoirs of the Qi by using the Master Points and the Coupled Points.

In this lesson

• Going over the location of the Master / Coupled points on the wrists and hands.
• The need for accuracy and how the hand / arm positions aid this.
• Awareness required with each change of trigger.
• Change the Sinews – triggering the Coupled Points and listening to the effects.
• Connecting Heaven and Earth. Using all 8 Master points.
• Awareness of the Vessels.
• The Eight Exceptional Vessels exercise 1. Using the Fire Path tongue position.
• Calming the Yi (getting the brain out of the way).

 

The Shen Qigong exercises in these classes are a mixture of Active and Passive Qigong. They are Spiritual in that they are working with the consciousness and can be used to alter states of awareness, giving access to higher levels of being and increasing perception. In addition to the Shen exercises we also incorporate Qigong from other sets (Shibashi, Ba Duan Jin, Connecting Heaven and Earth, the Orbits, etc.) so that a deeper understanding and more profound experiences gained from them. This means that the classes are often organic and they find a direction of their own, that direction governed by the needs and wishes of the participants.
