The Four Shen Qigong – working with the consciousness

The Four Shen Qigong

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

Advanced Qigong that can unlock your potential

The Four Shen Qigong exercises are Active, Spiritual, Qigong. That is to say that the body movement is one of the tools used to help guide the Qi and the exercises are used to alter states of awareness, giving access to higher levels of being and increasing perception.

The exercises involve the Shen, that finer quality of Qi that is connected to our consciousness, our Mind, our Higher Self. They entail raising the vibration of the Shen, and the awareness of self…………… the Qi of our body and mind. They also entail awareness of other as our awareness is expanded beyond our physical body. The fourth exercise allows us access to our Higher Self so that we can have meaningful dialogue and receive guidance.

These Shen Qigong exercises are not suitable for novices.  They are only suitable for practitioners who are adept at sinking their Qi, adept at grounding themselves.  This is akin to increasing an electric cable diameter and its insulation so that it can handle higher currents. Over time, when Qigong is practiced properly, sinking the Qi enhances the practitioner’s capacity for working with Qi. Some of our other courses are suitable for beginners and intermediate practitioners as they teach exercises that will, over time, build up this ability. These include Qigong like:  Connecting Heaven and Earth, The Five Taoist Yin, The Embroidered Brocade and the Taiji Shibashi.

• The exercises involve the Shen, that finer quality of Qi that is connected to our consciousness, our Mind, our Higher Self.
• They entail raising the vibration of the Shen, and the awareness of self, the Qi of our body and mind.
• They entail awareness of other as our awareness is expanded beyond our physical body.
• Finally, they allow access to our Higher Self so that we can have meaningful dialogue and receive guidance.

With practice, the awareness of Qi continues to develop. Awareness that can lead to: –

• Increased tangibility of Qi. Experiencing its many qualities.
• Increased awareness of Qi throughout the entire body/mind. By that I mean increased awareness of the Qi in the aura as well as in the physical body.
• The ability, for some, to see The energetic body, projected Qi, etc.
• The ability to taste To experience the sensation of particular tastes that correlate with the particular energies of the Five Elements.
• The ability to smell Experiencing odours, sometimes pleasant, sometimes not that, again, correlate with the quality of Qi being worked with.
• The ability to hear
• Those noises, those smells, those tastes, etc. are the brain’s (the Yi’s) interpretation of energetic Translating the energetic into tangible experiences.

In the vast majority of cases the practitioner will find that, even if they can experience Qi in all of these ways, they will have a dominant sense that is the most tangible, the most useful, for them.

Course length

The course contains all the information you need to practice these Shen Qigong. However, as it is aimed at experienced practitioners there are no lessons for the basics (stances, breathing, etc.). The lessons are concise and detailed so that you can easily refer to any of them when practicing.

The Four Shen Qigong Exercises

• Exercise 1: The Inward Journey, the awareness of self.  It connects with the Shen, and also works with the Third Eye.
• Exercise 2: The Outward Journey, the awareness of other. The awareness beyond the self and the physical body.  Again, it connects with the Shen, working with the Third Eye.
• Exercise 3: Raises the vibration of the Shen still further.  Activating Heart Chakra before lifting Qi, in the form of Shen, to the Third Eye.
• Exercise 4: Used to open dialogue with your Higher Self, also known as your Shen, or your Consciousness.  It is in this space that you can have that dialogue with your Higher Self.  Here you can ask for guidance……………….

Since starting to teach his students online, recordings of Des’s classes have been kept so that future access to them would be available. Once you have finished the course you can get access to these classes where Des goes deeper (and guides his students deeper) with these Qigong, often integrating them with other Qigong.
