Shen Qigong class – 2023.11.16

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

• Q&A: Functions and benefits of Chong Mai.
• Q&A: Where to listen (using physical landmarks) for the Qi in the Extraordinary Meridians.
• Change the Sinews: Listening to Yin Wei Mai and Yang Wei Mai. Awareness of around and inside the (physical) body.
• Using physical stimulation: Switching between Yin Wei Mai and Yang Wei Mai.
• Using Passive Qigong: Switching between Yin Wei Mai and Yang Wei Mai.
• How a different mind set changes what you are working with.
• Eight Exceptional Vessels exercise 2: Using the Water Path.
• Connecting Heaven and Earth: Working with the Shen. 

 

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.
