Living Qigong 24 hours a day depends on our mind power. So, in the beginning, we train our minds to release stress and relax. Relaxation is one of the most important aspects of Qigong living. Stress restricts the flow of Qi. Relaxation allows the Qi to flow smoothly.
Living Qigong is not about being perfect. It’s about doing your best. If you have an “off” day, accept it as a learning opportunity, try again, make an adjustment, stay calm, and positive. It is a chance to dive deeper into your understanding of your life. Ask yourself quality questions when you are having an “off” day. For example, what can I do differently to achieve a more beneficial outcome? Or, you can restate your situation and focus on what you do want. For example, what I desire is to handle this situation calmly and positively.
The practice of Qigong is not just limited to the times when we practice the exercises and meditations. Qigong is really the practice of life. Qigong is an expression of life. Thus, Qigong is a way of life.
If you live Qigong, then when you wake in the morning, you take a deep breath, put a smile on your face, and you center your mind in the present moment. Throughout your day, you send positive energy in the form of thoughts to all life forms around you. You send blessings of gratitude to life itself.
When you eat, you focus only on eating the food. You focus on how the food tastes. Feel the presences of the food in your mouth. Look at the colors and textures of the food. Smell the aroma of the food. Breathe deeply while you eat. Chew slowly and appreciate the moment.
When you wash the dishes, you focus only on washing the dishes. Feel the warmth of the water on your hands. Feel how smooth the soap feels. Smell the scent of the soap. Wipe the front side of the plate. Notice the pattern in the front of the plate. When you wipe the back side of the plate, just focus on the back side. Don’t worry about the front side. Don’t worry about how many dishes you have to wash. Focus on each dish, one at a time. Breathe deeply while you wash the dishes.
Sleeping is another practice of Qigong. Before sleeping, you prepare your mind and body for sleep. Your mind is calm and centered for sleep. Sleep is the yin balance to being awake. You seek to balance all aspects of your life. Deep breathing before and while in bed will calm your mind. I also recommend thinking about five things you are grateful for from your day. Before sleep, if there is something weighing on your mind, write it down with a short list of possible actions you can take. This will allow you to be at peace knowing that you have solutions and you won’t forget them.
You seek to bring Yin and Yang balance to your life and surroundings. You let go of the past. You let go of judgments. You let go of any expectations. You let go of any resistance. You live every moment consciously. You live in the present moment. You enjoy quiet and peaceful times more deeply. You enjoy active and changing times more deeply.
You allow the flow of Qi and life to be smooth. As your Qigong practice opens the energy channels in your body, it allows the Qi to flow more smoothly in your body. When Qi is flowing more smoothly, your health improves, your mind relaxes more deeply, and your emotions become balanced. As a result, it also allows the Qi flow of your life to be more smooth. You handle the unexpected changes in life more easily. You handle difficult situations more easily. More things become easy and fewer things seem difficult.
As you practice Qigong, you learn that before you can help others, that you must help yourself first. By taking the self-less action to heal yourself, you put yourself in a better position to help others.
With increased emotional stability, your relationships come into balance. When communing with others, you extend positive and compassionate thoughts. Just as the Qi Field extends and encompasses everyone and everything, you recognize that others are not only connected to you but are an extension of you. You recognize that as you treat others with love and kindness, you treat yourself with love and kindness. You also know that if you treat yourself with negativity, that indirectly you are extending negativity to others.
So, as a practitioner of Qigong, your practice extends way beyond the exercises and meditation. It becomes the way you live your life. So if you are ready to embrace a life of Qi, a life of Qigong, then start right where you are. There is no time like the present to begin. After all, Qi is everywhere. You can’t escape Qi, it is inside of you. It is all around you. So why not learn to master yourself and Qi through the life practice of Qigong. Qigong is a great way to master your life.
