Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese practice that I've come to deeply appreciate for its profound healing potential. In my journey of exploring mindful movement and holistic wellness, Qi Gong has been a guiding light.
It's a practice that goes beyond physical exercises and meditations; it taps into the realm of qi, an energetic and spiritual presence that permeates our bodies and surroundings.
Through Qi Gong, I've learned to cultivate egolessness and realize that my true identity extends far beyond what I perceive. It has been a source of empowerment in my wellness journey, harnessing the energy within and embracing the vibrant healing potential of Qi Gong. Join this journey of self-discovery and holistic wellness and embrace the boundless possibilities that awaits.

32:30 I've only been doing Qigong for a few days now and it doesn't surprise me at all: it's a lot more involved than walking! 37:30-44:00 in these few days of practicing qigong from *youtube* videos (not even "real" training) and I have already felt an improvement in my thinking, suppleness of my mind, my focus, my reaction time, my coordination, my digestion, my emotional aliveness, my intention (I made a list today and actually stuck to it--unheard of for me).

I practice various qigong daily Liu zi jue, ba duan jin and tai ji short and long forms. Movement is key to the successful practice of qigong. Tao te jin inspires. thanks for bringing Ken back into my awareness.

You're so right. I have the opposite problem: I have difficulty getting enough exercise sometimes and my main focus are the arts and more calm ventures. I really liked this explanation. I liked how he spoke about not being snobbish or thinking you're better because you practice qi gong and not regular exercise. Some spiritual people also adapt that sense of thinking they're on a higher level because they're less focused on the physical. It is all about balance. A stable mind in a fit body.

On attaining emptiness @45:00 ish... When someone talks let their words run through your mind, instead of your own thoughts. Sit by a stream or stand where you are and absorb your reality. If by a stream, let the sound of the stream run through your mind like the words of a lover, who pats your head as you rest it on their lap. Feel the density of the air, is it thick and about to rain? Feel the shade upon you, without thinking an internal monologue about the words you would use to describe it to someone else, simply feel. Observe how many sounds you can hear and where they are, what they are, without labelling what they are, simply experience the way the frequencies of its existence is detected by your sense organs. Feel the sensation of the colour red as it hits the cells at the back of your eyes.

English is not my language so I’m learning qigong and English quite at same time, it’s not easy for my brain …so I really appreciate this conversation because you both speaks slowly enough, I’m able to understand but its not just “basic” on surface as you go deeper… I especially enjoyed Mr. Kenneth Cohen deep and soft, grounding voice and yours beautiful smile.

Personal opinion but I don’t think they’re the same. Kundalini is described literally as a serpent and chi is simply life energy. I would never follow yoga as a serious pursuit as well as mind meditation as I think they’re spiritually dangerous for most westerners. I go to yoga once a week and never say “namaste” at the end

In Classical Chinese texts they talked about individuals of virtue as having "big chi" (Dà Qì 大氣), a sort of nourishing presence that filled the room. Generally the presence is calming and helps those in it feel closer to their Self. . . . Not to give it a description haha

Hi George and thank you so much for bringing all this knowledge here on youtube! I've been following you for a while, came across your channel when I was also going through a lot of existential anxiety and I absolutely love it, it's such a gift to be able to be transported to Master Gu's presence but also to view everything from the lens of a very relatable and open person (you)! This is the first time I am commenting here, as I was particularly drawn to the concept of linking the ancient Eastern practises of Chi Gong to some of the slightly more open minded efforts of western science. I happen to have spend many years (in London) doing a PhD and researching in cell biology and genetics and I loved the parallel between the mitochondria and the Chi! I've been thinking about such parallels for a while now, more I guess for personal reasons of wanting to reconcile my training with all these incredible new things that I've been scratching the surface of on eastern practices. I think you would love a podcast series by Andrew Huberman, if you don't follow him already, he has several episodes and has done some research with his group in Stanford on characterising in a cell and molecular level the impact of certain breathing practices. Thanks again for your channel! Eleni
@elenikouki2352
@elenikouki2352 Жыл бұрын
* I should clarify, by more open minded efforts I mean that historically western science and medicine have been dismissive of eastern practices, for many reasons, some of which include western science being build on a capitalist framework that centres pharmaceutical interventions, but that is a whole other conversation :) Recently, there have been some slightly more progressive efforts in eg understanding how the "placebo" effect works and trying to address the idea of mind over matter. In this context, the impact of Eastern practices has been studied with a slightly more open mindset

I studied integrative medicine with a naturopath and acupuncturist, and some of his life's work was in making these correspondences as precise as possible. In the more modernized "traditional Chinese medicine" (Actually an amalgamation of traditions in that came together in communist China as an attempt to fit the conventional western mode) there are different kinds of vital substances, and chi is just one of them. Qi is often equated to the nervous system and the functions of an organ(What innervates the organ); and yang with metabolic function and warmth (in this case of organs it is the arterial blood flow; and it is also mitochondrial activity; which plays into the breakdown of fuel of which a byproduct is warmth). You might like the channel I started with him; where we go into some of these correspondences. . . . This is one of the biomedical and anthroposophical correspondences to the vital substances in Chinese Medicine kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXWYg4OPZceKf68 e.g. Liver Chi (how is it's ability to circulate water and nutrition, and to detoxify); vs. Liver Yang (how is blood circulation to that particular organ, and mitochondrial activity within it) Of course in Chinese medicine we measure the quantity and quality of these substances through the pulses tongue, channel diagnosis and the assessment of signs and symptoms; but there are maybe functional medicine tests (and certainly liver enzyme tests in this example) that might measure the biomedical factors; certainly we can scan for thermal activity in an organ (and given a norm to base our work on) ad have some understanding about it's yang activity; or the mitochondrial function. Cheers,

Our lives need more balance now because of what has been going on lately Being sometimes seems contradictory to the things that happen in life especially if extreme However being born of non-being also means not being afraid completely What I find difficult is to believe I am a functional part of life when life doesn't seem to be listening? You know? We are not connected to life we are unplugged as you have told us to life itself Knowing is the culprit Yet again for me how can I be functional at all this way? Can you help? I think too I need to be there and again where in this dizzying presentence where do I start sometimes?

Is there a specific all inclusive Qi Gong rutine ? I see all these youtube videos that I am not sure if they are any good.

As a Christian, I would say, Qigong is a gentle physical exerscises. All exerscise , physical exerscise is healthy. God bless everyone.

From my experience they see yoga and such spiritual exercises as sinful or demonic. So this lady is advocating gentle exercises despite her Christian faith. ​@FAMCast

I have to make a correction to Ken’s book. Zhuang Zi was not Lao Zi’s disciple. Other than that it is a very good book.

Perhaps you misunderstood. Zhuang Zi was Lao Zi's disciple only in the way we might say that Saint Francis was a student of Christ. There is no evidence that Zhuang Zi met Lao Zi . Rather Zhuang Zi clearly expands on ideas that are found earlier in the Dao De Jing.

Well, "Who you are is not who you think you are", isn't right, if you've done the introspective work, and know who you are, warts and all. Not everyone is an oblivious beginner.

Perhaps what you are isn't important - that's still ego. Perhaps it's what we are together that's more important. Just saying...

Ken is a master in his own mind. He is a certified Taoist by the CCP, so you know he's legit. And he's got a document that says so, like every other real Taoist. (George takes the cows to market to sell them for a good price so his parents can prepare for the winter time.) Mother: So, I see you sold our cows. Did you get a good price? How much did you get? George: I got something better than money mother. The man told me so. Mother: What man? George: Kenneth, Kenneth Hokum. Mother: No money?! What did you get George? A box of silver? A box of gold? George: Better than that Mamma. I got beans, three magic beans! 😅😆🤣Peace
