Transforming Jing into Qi Enhances Immunity

The four stages of health recovery Rebalance (調整 tiaozheng) Conditioning (調理 tiaoli) Repair (修復 xiufu) Rehabilitation (康復 kangfu) In the rebalance stage, we follow the cycles of heaven and earth to rebalance daily life. We use the outer world, such as medicine and food etc., to rebalance internal energetic function (jing-qi, blood-qi etc.). Gradually, the Body’s Order is restored. In the condition stage, the emphasis is on rebalancing a person’s mental state and mood. In the repair stage, the focus is on repairing the harm done to the internal organs and energy system. At this time, The Body’s Order has already been restored to normal, but because of experiencing an epidemic, a person’s whole body will be weak, thus we will need to repair each internal organ one by one.

This is a continuation of the Qi Emission Methods taught by China's Qigong Master Chen Linfeng 陳林峯. This set requires the practitioner to be able to emit qi or at least able to use mind intent to move qi.

Clears blockages, stagnant energy and blood stasis in the hand meridians (energy pathways) which are Lung, Heart, Pericardium and Large Intestine, Small Intestine and the Triple Warmer meridians.
