Healing the Heart
Heart problems are amongst the many diseases that can be reversed through qigong practice. Teacher Wei has tailored this recording especially for such healing. It includes Pulling Qi, which should be done with the mind opening from and closing to the centre of the heart.
In addition, practitioners should practice Stretching Qi (Chen Qi), sections 2 & 3 of Body Mind Method (see the long version of Body Mind Form above) and rotating the shoulders. The shoulder rotations should be as big as possible, to massage the heart qi and blood.
Teacher Wei adds that happiness is especially important for the heart, keeping the emotions stable and positive. In qigong terms, when we laugh the heart hormones “come out” and change the heart energy. He says this means that every day we should smile and focus on the positive, to nourish and strengthen our heart.
Pulling Qi
Qigong Centres in China make Pulling Qi part of the daily routine, often lasting an hour or more. The movement is simple and easy to learn; mind activity is key to this method. It can be very effective in healing even the seriously ill and is hugely valuable for those who have limited movement. While it is usually done seated, it can equally be done standing or lying.
When we do Pulling Qi our mind links out to original hunyuan qi and then in to the depths of our own body. The steady rhythm of our mind activity is one with the open and close of our body and the movement of qi out and in. Pure universal qi can suffuse our body and transform it.
Throughout this recording Teacher Wei guides and teaches us so we gain maximum benefits from our practice. We can then use that knowledge ourselves, doing whatever length of practice time allows to enhance our health and wellbeing.
From this practice we can also understand how to use qi to heal others.
