Shen Qigong class – 2023.04.06

Shen Qigong

The Shen Qigong classes is 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.

A question of pressure

A few of you have asked me about the slight pressure that is felt at the Third Eye when practicing these Shen Qigong. This made me ask why it was only at this location that they were experiencing this when this “pressure” is also present on other points. In this Shen Qigong lesson we  start with two of these and gradually include others.

Discerning the pressure and its direction using the following: –

• Kidney 1 (in both feet) and Du Mai 20: Wuji and the connection to the heavens and the earth.
• Kidney 1 (alternating), Du Mai 20, and Heart Governor 8: Holding a Ball in Front of the shoulder.
• Kidney 1, Du Mai 20, Heart Governor 8, Yamen and the Third Eye: The Four Shen exercise 3.
