Strenthening Kidneys - QiGong

Image
  Scientists tell us that we're only using 3% of our brain. Meditation helps us to use more of it to strengthen our internal organs and their functions and thus bringing vitality to our health. Our Kidneys and adrenals are an important aspect of good health. When these deteriorate due to poor lifestyle and diet many ailments surface. The worst is where there is a need for dialysis. Practising Qigong consistently on a daily basis will help significantly to ensure the health of the Kidneys and adrenals. Meditation on the Mingmen especially targets these important organs. I have earlier posted methods on Meditation of the Mingmen Part 1 & Part 2. Here I'm sharing Meditation on the Mingmen Part 3. Part 3 is independent on its own and you can practise it even without referring to Part 1 or 2. Part 3 is significantly more effective but you must be perfectly relaxed while doing it. Requirements: i. Able to look inwards ii. Able to do slow and deep inhalation and exhalation ...

  If you have pain or numbness or an uncomfortable tingling in your shoulder, forearm, hand, or fingers, you can try out this protocol. It's very effective too for massage/tuina therapists who will have inadvertently absorbed the toxic energy of their clients. And especially for Clinical Medical Qigong therapists as it's common to get contaminated by the patient's energy. In the least serious scenario, you'll feel a dull pain at the shoulder joint. At the most serious you may lay down, completely exhausted. Even if you are healthy, practising this daily for 5-10 mins will purge out your old and stagnant energy and replaced by fresh energy from the earth.

Let your hands down at the sides, with palm facing the thigh. iii. Straighten the fingers (with space in between) relaxed and pointed...

Cultivating Energy (Qi) at the Lower Dantian

  i. Sit in meditation mode with your hands in your favourite posture. For me, I prefer the Apana mudra. Be completely relaxed in mind and body and breathe naturally. ii. Look inwards and visualise an egg sized ball/sphere which is golden yellow and it's burning and glowing in your lower dantian. iii. Slowly inhale and visualise the ball enlarging. Slowly exhale and visualise the ball contracting. FEEL the hot golden yellow qi ball. iv. Each session may be 15-30 mins. Practise every day, preferably twice a day. Over time, you'll feel a ball of warmth (later turning to heat) in the lower dantian. Enhancing the Cultivation of Energy in the Lower Dantian i. Sit in meditation mode with your hands in your favourite posture. ii. Be completely relaxed in mind and body. iii. Natural breathing. Rotate/spin the glowing (or burning) golden yellow sphere in your ldt anticlockwise from a small circle to a big circle and then back to a small circle (still anticlockwise). Repeat for...
