Qi Gong in the Morning - Day 5 of Vitality Challenge

Qi Gong in the Morning

According to the ancient Chinese (and probably the modern ones too) Qi gong is best practiced first thing in the morning, ideally between 4-7am. With that in mind I thought today would be a great day to practice “8 Brocade” which is one of the oldest forms of qi gong.

For those of you who have studied qi gong in the past you might have found it to be complicated. Part of the reason is that the very traditional and proud qi gong practitioners were secretive and didn’t want anyone to know about their techniques. After studying many types of internal martial arts I believe that there is only one secret- practice. It doesn’t really matter what you do as long as you do it regularly. Sometimes the payoff is immediate. This morning while I was doing ‘horse stance’ I was entertained by a family of sparrows having a dust bath!
