Yoga, how much is good in a day, and qigong, how many hours a day is advisable.?
I am a starter. I need to do yoga.How many hours a day is good for me?All day?They say Demi Moore does yoga all day and that's why she looks like 20 when she is actually 40.How about qigong?
Any suggestions?
Yoga, how much is good in a day, and qigong, how many hours a day is advisable.?
well do it max 1hr in the morning that is enough it keeps you fit and active all day long
Reply:whatever "they" say is not entirely true. Yoga is not like other exercises but that doesn't meant you can do it all the time and not get tired. In the beginning you might not be able to make all the positions right, so please don't stress and try to do it again and again. You will get it for sure within days.
some people do yoga for like half hour or so and are really fit and good looking. SO do not stress. It all depends on your ability and body type. Yoga is done mainly for relaxation but if you are not relaxed, the whole purpose is defeated,
Good luck!

What Is Qigong?
Does anyone know of any good articles on qigong?
What Is Qigong?
Qigong (Simplified Chinese: 气功; Traditional Chinese: 氣功; pinyin: qìgōng; Wade-Giles: ch'i4 kung1; Thai: ชี่กง) or "Energy-Cultivation", is an aspect of Chinese medicine involving the coordination of different breathing patterns with various physical postures and motions of the body. Qigong is mostly taught for health maintenance purposes, but there are also some who teach it as a therapeutic intervention. Various forms of traditional qigong are also widely taught in conjunction with Chinese martial arts, and are especially prevalent in the advanced training of what are known as the Neijia (Chinese: 內家; pinyin: nèi jīa; Wade-Giles: nei4 chia1), or internal martial arts.
There are currently more than 3,300 different styles and schools of qigong.[citation needed] Qigong relies on the traditional Chinese belief that the body has an energy field generated and maintained by the natural respiration of the body, known as qi (this is analogous to Prana and Pranayama in Yoga). Qi means breath or gas in Mandarin Chinese, and, by extension, the energy produced by breathing that keeps us alive; gong means work or technique. Qigong is then "breath work" or the art of managing the breath to achieve and maintain good health, and especially in the martial arts, to enhance the energy mobilization and stamina of the body in coordination with the physical process of respiration.
Attitudes toward the basis of qigong vary markedly. Most Western medical practitioners, many practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the Chinese government view qigong as a set of breathing and movement exercises, with possible benefits to health through stress reduction and exercise. Others see qigong in more metaphysical terms, claiming that breathing and movement exercises can influence the fundamental forces of the universe.
Reply:The short answer is:
Qigong, or Chi Kung focuses on the body's energy. There are basically two types of Qigong; hard and soft. Soft style Qigong deals with channeling the body's energy for healing purposes. Hard style Qigong uses the energy for combat. Westerners call it Iron Hand or Iron Body. Iron Hand focuses the body's energy in the fist to help deliver a powerful blow. Iron Body focuses the body's energy at a specific point so that it can't be harmed by a strike. These techniques require extreme concentration and while soft style Qigong can be used to prolong life, using hard style Qigong can actually shorten your life because the amount of energy used is difficult to recover.
Good luck!
Reply:I recommend a book, "The Healing Power of Qi" by Roger Jahnke.
It summarizes all the good info one (beginner) needs to know about Qigong.
Then, one can go on, as qigong is a never ended discipline.
A Master is better then any article or book, and the practice does the magic.

The Chinese has used it as part of their alternative medicines practices since the late 1980's since it has some stress reduction capabilities.
Qigong helps practitioners to learn Diaphragmatic breathing, an important component of the relaxation response, which is important in combatting stress.
Taijiquan (or better known as Tai Chi), is a martial art based on the principles of internal qigong, and it appears to be a potent intervention to prevent falls in elders, maintain joint mobility, and improve balance, which is why you see many elderly people practicing Tai Chi though it can be a very effective Martial Art as a Self Defense component as well.
I've read a few articles about it some library books during some studies into the "internal" practices of Martial Arts, but I've also seen some articles in Black Belt magazine, but unfortunately I can't remember the exact issues (lost many of the issues I had in my last move to my apartment) they may still have some in their articles section on their website: blackbeltmag.com

Good Qigong dvds or other learning materials?
I thought I'd give Qigong a try, but there aren't any instructors in my area (nearest is about 2.5 hours away). Can anyone suggest good learning resources, such as DVDs, to get started (preferably from credible, established authorities)?
Good Qigong dvds or other learning materials?
I wouldn't recommend learning Qigong from DVD or books only. They are there as supplemental materials, but not as the main/standard methods of learning Qigong. It is pretty danger to learn it this way because it may hurt your body instead of benefiting it if your qi disrupted inside your body or flow incorrectly.
Try to learn the basic fountain from a well qualified teacher first before you ever attempt to learn Qigong yourself from a dvd or book. You may want to learn it slowly by going to a teacher once a month; however, you will learn all the basic eventually.
Another way to study qigong is to use the moving qi gong method such as Tajii Quan. It is much safer because you use your body to direct your qi movement without the danger of relying solely with your mind.

Qigong - Why the Chinese are persecuting the Falun Gong???
That first reply is unbelievably ignorant.
Many non-Christians around the world are constantly persecuted.
A good example are followers of the Baha'i faith in the Middle East.
As to the persecution of the practitioners of Falun Gong by the Chinese government, the reason is because Red China is a communist regime. They see movements like Falun Gong as a threat to their totalitarian stronghold over the general populace.
Qigong (pronounced Chi-Gong) is a system of self-healing that stems back 5,000 years in ancient China. I've used it myself and have found that it can be effective.

Qigong practice doing harm??
Hi, I'm a beginner at qigong. I've been doing some beginning exercises, and everything has been positive so far EXCEPT for one thing. I've noticed that there is light pain in the joints of my toes now (both feet), and the knuckles are cracking a lot throughout the entire day. What is happening??
I assume I am doing something wrong with the exercises, but what?
Thanks in advance.
Qigong practice doing harm??
I've tried that it is a very extreme, intensive exercise you'll probably going beyond your comfort zone. That's part of growth. Ease the pain with a massage, rubbing alchol and some epsom salt.

Qigong like Mr. Miagee? Heated Hands like Infrared heat?
I had a friend who had been in martial arts a looong time and once did this heat/muscle thing where he put his hands together, briskly rubbed them together and applied his hands to my forearm. It felt like infrared heat - it wasn't from the friction. It was very warm (close to being hot) and went down into the muscle and spread outward from there. Years later told me it was from practice of Qigong.
It was almost identical to what Mr.Miagee did in the Karate Kid after the kid got an injury or something.
Anyone know what this is and how to learn it? I do reiki and am
familiar with healing energies but this was in a different category completely.
Qigong like Mr. Miagee? Heated Hands like Infrared heat?
There are a number of good Qigong books. Look for some of the books by Yang Jwing-Ming. There are several different varieties of Qigong, but basically Qigong is sort of like yoga from the standpoint of Chinese Martial Arts.
Since reiki is originally from Tibet (though the name is Japanese and it has been spread from there), the energies are quite different from those used in Qigong.

Reply:I have studied Qigong and other forms of internal martial arts from China, but it surprises me that your friend did something that benefited you in this manner. Being familiar with Reiki, I would have thought you would experience this in your practicing, but from my experience, Qigong is for self-cultivation of chi/ki, not necessarily to pass on to somebody else!
I'll have to follow this question now myself to see what others come up with!

Need to learn a simple Qigong form via the internet for free. Anyone know of one?
I don't live near any Qigong instructers and would like to use the magic of the internet to learn some simple Qigong excercices. Looking for video clips/and or informative text on the subject. Qigong should be free and available to all people!
Need to learn a simple Qigong form via the internet for free. Anyone know of one?
I can refer you to a book that will cost about 5 dollars, and teach you a good/decent qi gong form. Not counting that, anything you learn off the internet will be a bad form, especially since you won't get a teacher to explain the components of the form.

I would like some recommendations on books, videos, websites, whatever for information and virtual training in qigong. I have experience with energy work in another modality and am interested in exploring qigong at this time.

Amazon is not a bad place to look but you can often find books much less expensive at www.half.com and just type in qi qong.
http://search.half.ebay.com/Qi-Gong_W0QQ
They have books, and other things too. If you are learning internal Ki (chi) flow better this is a good way to go, some i have spoke to also say Reiki is also so long as you find a good teacher or master. Next would be Tai Chi and Yoga.
Best of luck.
Reply:I purchased the "Wild Goose" video on Qigong, but they were expensive and didn't have enough material on them. So, I'd try something else.
I used to have this book, http://www.amazon.com/ChI-Power-Within-E... , which was pretty good. I want to get this one though, I read through it in Barnes and Noble, and it seemed cool.

Qigong and Martial Arts?
Through the history of Eastern Martial Arts, Qigong and external systems have grown up together. Bodhidharma's Marrow Washing exercises grew up beside his 5 animal style kung Fu... ultimately influencing most other arts... Karate, Taekwondo, Jujitsu, Kobudo.
My style, Isshinryu has one kata, Sanchin, which I would consider to be a straight up Qigong form. (Iron Shirt Chi Kung) We also do Mokuso (sitting meditation) during class, which is similar to many Qigong exercises. Does your style have any practices you would consider Qigong. (Ki, Chi) maybe even Ki-ai. (The Shout)
Qigong and Martial Arts?
well in my arts: thai boxing and capoeira we don't do that stuff. however i took it upon myself to supplement my training with a lil qi gong so i have a few videos and a book: "Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body: Chi Gung for Lifelong Health" [a pretty good read might i add] that makes me feel more energize and have a better control over my body
Reply:hmmm well in my bujinkan budo taijutsu use chi kung breathing exercises along with kuji-kiri. we also used the iron shirt technique during conditioning exercises. also in wing chun i used chi kung breathing exercises.
Reply:In Shinbu Aikido we have several kata that has to do with Kinot to mention techniques. We have our 2 sets of foot movements.One set of 24 and the other of 56 the 1st one is called Unsuko and the 2nd is called Tandoku-undo.Then we have the 8 releases, it is called Hoppo-undo-no-kazushi. Then we have a breathing exercise at the end of class, that is in a seiza (seated posistion) at the end of class called Shin_kokyu.
Reply:According to tradition, Kung Fu and Tai Chi evolved directly from the practice of Qi Gong. Yes, I agree with your observations. There are forms and breathing exercises in most martial art styles that appear to be almost exactly the same as Qi Gong exercises.
Qi Gong evolved from the the ancient text called, "The Secrets of the Yellow Emperor," a medical text. As legend goes, the emperor was never to be touched by a mortal hand. Qi Gong was developed as the medical treatment system for the Yellow Emperor. The physicians quickly realized that they were left weak or sometimes ill following these treatments. This began the study of increasing the body's essential energy through exercises and breath work. Thus, Qi Gong was born.
I don't know of any Qi Gong exercises that would include Ki-ai, "The Shout". Although there are quick exhalations used to expel cool or hot energy, through the nose and mouth respectively. Sounds, were not part of Qi Gong until Dong Fong Fang Fu.

I don't know of any Qi Gong exercises that would include Ki-ai, "The Shout". Although there are quick exhalations used to expel cool or hot energy, through the nose and mouth respectively. Sounds, were not part of Qi Gong until Dong Fong Fang Fu.
Looking for Qigong doctor to help friend's father with cancer.?
I have a friend in California near San Francisco, who has a father that has cancer that isn't responding to Chemotherapy. I would like to find a Qigong doctor who I can refer him to that has experience in healing cancer. I 'm not talking about just self meditation, herbal remedies, or holistic hospice type management. I am talking about a live in or patient live in therapy. Complete management.
For example, 12 years ago I knew someone with lymph cancer and it was terminal. He went to Thailand and spent 4 months there. When he came back, the doctors said he was cured and they couldn't understand how. But this is what I am looking for. Or something with this type of approach. If the person is in California that would be great but SE Asia might be OK too. He is Vietnamese. Anyone knowing such contacts would be much appreciated. Please no commercial programs or treatments.

This is a rather interesting question, especially since I happen to live in San Francisco :P
First off, I know one Chi Gung master who used to cure terminally ill cancer patients in China (after everything else had failed), but he doesn't do that anymore, so I don't think he'd be willing to do it.
However, he did find one chi gung form which seems to be semi effective for a person to treat their own cancer (although to be fair, having a good chi gung tui na doctor work on you will do more than that ever could).
If you want I could probably figure out a way to send you materials for learning how to do dragon and tiger (the specific chi gung form). I'm learning it, but I don't feel competent enough to teach it yet.
#2 I've done lots of work with alternative cancer therapies besides D%26amp;T, and I have multiple close friends/relatives that have had fairly fast remissions without using any chemo bullshit. If you get the chance, there are some alternative therapies which work, they just aren't very well known.
To a large extent though, what will or will not work depends on the type of cancer but to make a long story short, I've seen results with the following;
1) Orgone energy accumulators
2) Rife Machines
3) Major diet improvements (take crap out of the diet, stop eating sugar, drink alkanalized water, do the johanna budwig diet, try gerson therapy).
4) See if some sort of emotional/psycological problem is causing the cancer and deal with that.
You might want to seriously consider looking into some of the stuff I listed. I'm about to leave for a trip though, so I can't help you more than that.
*this is the form I was referring to

hope that helps!
