Qigong for Calming and Grounding the Mind - with Jeffrey Chand

Here is an easy Qigong routine that is helpful for calming, grounding, and centering the Mind.
There are so many things that we:
should do
need to do
and want to do
that it can feel never ending. We are in a day and age of overstimulation. We are often tied into our email, Facebook, our phones, the news, the "happenings" in our family, neighbourhood, and community that sometime we just want to shut it all off!
www.qigongforvi...
This simple routine can help! Qigong always focuses on deep breathing, gentle movement, and focusing the mind. There are many great Qigong routines. Some can strengthen the body, some can help you enter a deep state of meditation, and some can build your root energy and qi. All of those practices are great, but sometimes, we just need to shut off all the "noise" of our busy world.
These short and simple routines are perfect for that. You can practice this routine once or even twice a day, as it won't harm or overstimulate the body in any way. Just try to focus on deep full breaths and "feel the Flow!"

Thanks, Jeff, for your caring and wonderful teaching skills. We love you 💜

[@paulm7826]

Thank you, Jeff. Very encouraging and helpful video as always. Sending you good wishes from Australia.

[@lalitavajra6078]

After around 10 months following your videos Jeff. I'm 66, my breathing is better, deeper, fuller, my body is and feels more flexible and interestingly, stronger, muscles are worked differently. I listen to my body which your videos have taught me too. I now practice around 40 minutes in the morning and around half an hour before supper. In a funny way it feels like we breathe through our feet as well. I don't see much in dan tian breathing but do feel like, now and again,'elastic bands' --or energy bands here and there. Thanks your videos are very clear, like water :) working gently away. Your humour is good, helpful too a light touch, you demonstrate,embody what you teach and show, that is ace. Many thanks, Jay

[@Giannah.marie.111]

Thank you so much . 🌲💚🌲

[@ShoshanahShear]

Such a lovely setting. Definitely adds to the experience of following your routines, thank you

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

Yes it certainly was an interesting location! Thanks for watching!

[@ShoshanahShear]

@ThinkVitalityQiGong you have lovely locations for all your videos. I follow many of them. Thank you. Half the healing comes from looking at the nature. I want to say more than half but I don't know enough of the benefits of QiGong to know if that is accurate

[@tymotep1736]

Thank you, for sharing. This is now one of my favorite combinations. 🙏🏾

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

You are so welcome!

[@gk411]

This is a fantastic site, l do Qigong every day, it's so benifical for living a calmer and productive life.. Jeff is a great teacher. 👏 ♥ ✌️ 🧘‍♂️ 🕉 ☺ 🇮🇪 2020

[@avm9647]

That was fun. I laughed out loud at the dizzy spell and singing opera in the gondola 😀

[@julietenh5560]

Excellent short calming and grounding breathing practice. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It certainly brings calmess to my body and mind. And I am off to a good positive start to the day. Thank you Master Jeffrey Chand.. Have a great day. ☺️🌅👍💯🥊🥋

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

You're most welcome! ~Jeff

[@TogetherWeRiseCirclesYogaCacao]

Dear Jeff, thank you sooooo much. I am finding your videos absolutely wonderful for grounding, centering and calming. I love the way you teach, the humour, the simplicity, the explanations and the stunning Nature surrounding you. A BIG thank you.

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

You're very welcome! Thanks for your kind words!

[@barbaraaspengen9810]

Now days this truly is what we all need to help us to be in tune to our selves thanks so much ❤️🤗😜 you do such a great job teaching us.

[@kevinotoole885]

Hi Jeff, just discovered your routines. I am a black belt in Samurai Ju Jitsu and I am familiar with Qi Gong and many forms of meditation. Over the last year I have been, what I can only say, taken down by a formidable opponent......anxiety, very much out of the blue. The humbling experience of it all, the realisation that all my training couldn’t stop the onset of this debilitating condition has made me reach out and find you. I have only just started to follow your tuition but I find your teaching and sincerity is perfect for me. I am on the right path and vastly improved from last year, but I wanted to say that it’s a pleasure meeting you on that path. My Sensei would say ‘be like water, water will always find a way’

[@oceanlawnlove8109]

beautiful :')

[@AlexT737]

Hope you are doing better :)

[@jamesscurry]

I hope you’re doing better too. Anxiety is also a teacher, which we begin to realise is very much trying to protect us. Anxiety and fear sit very closely next to love. I’ll keep you in my prayers 🙏

[@josephinelarosa7031]

Dear Kevin, sending prayers and blessings to you. Hope you have found peace 🕊️. You have the same name as the love of my life 😹

[@jamesscurry]

A lovely before bed routine. Thanks for all that you do Jeff ❤️🙏

[@mstenson4]

This is a lovely little practice. I love how I could feel the energy draining from my overactive mind into the earth. Thank you for your guidance 🙏

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

That sounds perfect!

[@tessatandler393]

Thanks so much for another wonderful video. So calming and really helpful

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

[@iamjeislynn3249]

Gratitude 💕💕💕

[@doekaap]

Thanks! As a massage therapist & yoga teacher sometimes I forget to ground myself and do what I advise others. This is very helpful :)

[@historyishis-story4250]

Nice. That's something simple i can remember to do everyday

[@mavonproductions]

I’ve been practicing this video all week, I’ve found it super helpful! I’ve struggled with grounding my whole life. Movement is so much better for me than sitting! THanks so much for sharing!

[@amandaheiser8587]

I just wanted to say, that I was just on vacation in New York State, when I had a major anxiety attack. I tried all kinds of ways to stop it, but nothing was working. I have done QiGong many times, I even had a DVD with me, but I failed to watch it. I clicked on You Tube and found your short videos and found the one on anxiety and I watched it and worked along with it, until the anxiety attack went away. I just wanted to thank you, for doing what you do and sharing it with the world. Also, I wanted to say that I learned a thing or two, from the anxiety video, that I never knew before. Thank You very much!

[@cesarbentley8689]

Hello Jeffrey, Thanks for this video by a beautiful lake. The last couple of days I practice this one in the morning. And I got inspired by someone who left the comment that he practices it before going to bed. Maybe it works for my better sleeping as well. Thank you so much for your time and effort to share this with the world. Happy Easter. 🤗🙏💚🤲🌈🐣

[@tmlhover]

Aloha Jeff, I have been practising Qigong with your great videos. You are helping me to calm my mind and reducing my anxiety. Your voice is very soothing and the nature that you use are really complimenting your videos. To my surprise my stomach issues have decreased and my energy is flowing into a much better direction. Thank you so much for making these videos available. Tecla

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

You are very welcome! Thank you for letting me know how the Qigong is affecting you. I am not surprised to hear that your digestion and stomach is better, stress & anxiety really does affect everything. Keep practicing and I'm sure it will continue to get better, and you will find a new "normal" that's calm and peaceful!😀

[@carolyncontois680]

I recently had a respiratory infection that caused pain in my upper back and diaphragm My Chiropractor said it is interchostal neuritis. its been 2 weeks and i'm better but simple exertion still makes it hard to breath. As I was wondering what steps I could take to heal myself, Jeff''s E mail popped up in my inbox! How synchronistic! I felt an immediate release of tension, and breathing was so much easier. A reminder NOT to hold on to all the memes... breath and let go. Thank you Jeff for coming to my rescue☮

Still practicing qigong with my triplets thanks to you! The sitting routine was amazing and it helped a lot during my pregnancy 😊

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

That is so wonderful! It made my day when I read your comment! Thanks for sharing!!

[@rosavilaseca8912]

Thank you very much🙏

[@johnforbis7633]

I have been doing this practice daily since about a month ago, and the difference has been not physical well-being, but I really feel my mind changing as well. So much calmer, so less anxious and simply happier. Plus I practice meditation as well. And my mind is so much clearer during meditation. I feel like I'm more in my body and notice more when I am tense. But when I am, I just ask myself the question of what is the root cause and so, I am able to recognize an answer more readily and clearly. So, great. Lots of "so much"es here. Thank you so much!!!

[@jomorty392]

Fabulous.Thankyou 🙏🏼

[@shinystar1781]

Twang, good word for what used to happen to my middle back. Something would twang and come around to my chest and it was painful for 6 weeks of recovery. No more. Hasn't happened in like 2 years now. Thank you.

I love how you teach ! I'm returning to QiGong, after not doing any for (too) many years... and I love your videos. I've been doing a few of your routines ( especially the one for a better sleep) and I also enrolled dear hubby to do routines with me. We both really appreciate this part of our day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, and special hellos from Quebec, Canada... far across the country :) !

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

Thanks so much! That's wonderful to hear that you are both practicing! I hope you are staying warm!🙂

[@johannavogelaar9261]

[@amberlouize127]

Very nice flow! I appreciate the reminders to keep the mind focused in good thoughts. My only suggestion is adding more of those.

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

Thanks for the suggestion! In some videos I add a lot of reminders, and others not as many, I just vary it. Thanks for your comment!

[@nagytobia8139]

All your videos are great and I follow them all

[@annieaquarius7330]

Perfect. Thank you Jeffery.

[@mereunetulburat8022]

Hi Jeff! My name is Emilia and I live in Romania ( in Eastern Europe), where Qigong is very, very little know and therefore, practiced. There are only a few big cities where courses of this kind are being taught over here, but I live in a small town, far away from those places...So, there are no chances for me to join to a Qigong practitioners group; nevertheless, I think I'm very blessed to find all these beautiful videos with Qigong exercises ( I have health problems), and I'm practising them every day at home. I simply and solely want to say: Thank you so, so much ! Many, many blessings!

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

Hi Emilia! Thanks so much for your comment! This is part of the reason I make these videos - to try and reach people who don't have easy access to this kind of information. I am really genuinely happy that the videos have been helpful! Keep up the great work!

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

You are very welcome! I'm sorry to hear that you are going through a rough time, but I am sure you can get through it, and feel better than you did before! You can practice Qigong anytime that you want, morning, afternoon, or evening. The most important aspect is breathing and getting into that state where you feel relaxed, calm, and you're energy is flowing smoothly! Keep practicing, you'll do well!

[@joanmartin-royo9606]

🙏🙏❤❤

[@Linked5]

At the end of this exercise I feel my body so hot from inside... not like I'm swearing after workout...but differently. Such a heavy heat. That's amazing ... is that right ? Does someone feel like that?

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

That's a sign of good qi and blood circulation. If you feel good, then it is a very good sign! After awhile you'll feel like more often. Keep it up!

So strange, when I pressed my palms together and lowered my legs my heart started to beat faster and a bit unregulated, what could be the reason for that?

[@Qualitydmexperience1]

Do you have to do other routines to activate healing or will this do the same

[@yewyokefah4877]

Do we need to barefooted when practising qigong and to feel grounded

[@drimbesatsyed]

Is there any for dizziness
