Private Tuition of Qigong – The Eight Exceptional Vessels
Our private tuition of Qigong includes the Eight Exceptional Vessels (AKA the Eight Extraordinary Meridians). This tuition facilitates a deeper understanding that aids the student on their Qigong journey. With one-to-one tuition a dialogue is built up between teacher and student that can highlight strengths as well as weaknesses. This means that the student can focus on what their needs are for progress. Each student is different so the tuition is tailored to address those needs.
As well as using the Yi, eyes and breath to guide the Qi, these exercises also make use of the Master Points and the Coupled Points to activate the Qi in the vessels.
The quality of the Qi is different
- The quality of the Qi in the Exceptional Vessels is tangibly different to that of the Qi flowing along the meridians.
- Only two of the Exceptional Vessels have their own, discrete, acupuncture points.
- All eight connect to the twelve meridians at Master and Coupled Points.
- Although the Exceptional Vessels do not have direct connections to the organs their intersections with the main meridians (Master Points) provides indirect access.
- The Exceptional Vessels are akin to reserve batteries as they provide a reservoir for Qi and blood.
