Qigong for Hypertension – Five exercises that could help reduce high blood pressure

“This course, like all the ones done by this teacher was superb. The detail allowed me to learn the moves thoroughly and truly understand the point to what I was practicing. After only a few session my of practice my blood pressure fell 10 points. Full disclosure I have practiced other Qigong forms for many years and so others might take longer to see results. Thank you!”

This Qigong for Hypertension course has optional captions (English, French & Spanish).

Des Lawton is a Shiatsu Practitioner, Qigong Practitioner and Qigong Instructor who has been teaching Taiji and Qigong since the late 1980’s. This course is part of a series of Qigong for specific, chronic, ailments that he is producing. The first thing I want to point out is that the price does not reflect the quality of this course. The price has been deliberately kept  low so that Hypertension sufferers have easy, inexpensive, access to these exercises. The course and the exercises are superb.

To maximise effectiveness in treating Hypertension we will strengthen the focus on certain acupuncture points. Each exercise starts with the stimulation of those points. We continue to do this until we are familiar with each of them and can focus on each of them without the need for that stimulation.

Qigong does not produce quick fixes but, through time and practice, it has a cumulative effect on health and wellbeing. How long it takes is dependent on many factors, the biggest two being frequency and quality of practice.

If you follow Des’s guidelines in this course I feel sure that you will notice a difference……… but try to be patient with yourself and give the Qigong (and yourself) a chance.

“Des Lawton is clearly at the cutting edge of Energy work today, and his sensitivity, humour, and instructional abilities integrate beautifully. This has enabled him to teach at all levels, bringing oriental thoughts & concepts to occidental minds, making these concepts tangible, and demystifying them.”

“Des Lawton demonstrates teaching-integrity and respect for his students, and knows how to facilitate student understanding, awareness and true progress, encouraging the students’ desire to learn. I’ve taken other courses from people who may know how to go through the outer movements with good form themselves and have impressive “temple” credentials and an exotic nationality, but they lack the ability to impart knowledge which is the essential attribute of a teacher and also calls into question their own depth of understanding.”

Qigong for Hypertension – What is Hypertension?

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. High blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms itself. However, it is a predominant risk factor for a number of life threatening conditions. These include: stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, peripheral arterial disease, vision loss, chronic kidney disease, and dementia.

High blood pressure is classified as primary hypertension or secondary hypertension. About 90–95% of cases are primary, defined as high blood pressure due to nonspecific lifestyle and genetic factors. Lifestyle factors that increase the risk include excess salt in the diet, excess body weight, smoking, physical inactivity and alcohol use.

The remaining 5–10% of cases are categorized as secondary high blood pressure, defined as high blood pressure due to a clearly identifiable cause, such as chronic kidney disease, narrowing of the kidney arteries, an endocrine disorder, or the use of oral contraceptives.

Blood pressure is classified by two measurements, the systolic (high reading) and diastolic (lower reading) pressures. For most adults, normal blood pressure at rest is within the range of 100–130 mmHg (millimeters mercury) systolic and 60–80 mmHg diastolic. For most adults, high blood pressure is present if the resting blood pressure is persistently at or above 130/80 or 140/90 mmHg.
