By far, neck pain, tension, arthritis, and weakness is one of the most common reasons for doctor visits. Many people suffer with neck pain for a variety of reasons. If it is left untreated neck tension and pain can lead to premature vertebrae degeneration and arthritis. The good news is dealing with neck tension is actually quite easy.
In this routine I'll show you an exercise called Tiger Emerging. Imagine that you are a calm, quiet tiger waiting inside a cool cave... then in an instant you emerge out of the cave and pounce on your unsuspecting 'dinner!' That is the energy and visualization you can use in this exercise.
Over time this simple routine can help strengthen the muscles in the back, neck, shoulders, and mid back so that you can hold your body in good alignment. This also helps the qi of the lungs, heart, pericardium, and sanjiao meridian flow smoothly. Try and practice this routine everyday for 2 weeks and I am certain you will notice a benefit!
If you want to add to this routine you can also practice this routine www.qigongforvitality.com/qigo... well.
To get the full benefit of qi gong practice I would highly recommend practicing full routines which can be found in the "Communi Qi." This is an online library with:

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

It should be helpful, just take it slowly and you should notice improvement over time. Don't forget to breathe!

Hi Jeff, disappointed to see you have your practice in Victoria. Thank you for the videos.

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

Sorry about that, I am working on my teleporter - I will let you know when it is done then I can transport all around the world! 😀

[@artpiltch3621]

Tnank you! Very helpful :). Sandy Piltch

[@mean100000]

Hi @Jeffrey Chand ! I love your videos and usually practice the daily routine - although somedays i'm looking for something more specialized. Today I was looking for something specifically to open the throat. I know you have that one exercise in the opening exercise that the hands go up down the center and out thats good for this but do you have any other reccs? I'd really appreciate it. I def have stagnant qi that builds up in my throat when I have things I want to say but have to hold my tongue!

[@rutgerros9514]

Hi Jeff, I really like your style it makes the exercise fun! I tend to yawn a lot during exercise. Is there something I can or should do about it? It doesn't bother me a lot except that it makes it harder to keep my breathing rythm. Greetings and thanks for the inspiration! Rutger

[@lauragalvao5646]

thanks thanks thanks thanks ... I visualized what mades me feel so tense and then all that going out... exercise and visualization is really effective. Now, go to bed feeling good.Thanks again Jeff, just in case :´)

[@veedreen]

Most of your routines are great. Work well for me. I need neck surgery 1 day. How wirh this affect my neck?

[@Sophia-ej8fw]

love you and you're channel too♡

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

+•Sophia 2012• thanks so much! You're pretty great too 😀

[@back2nature4life44]

Thank you, very good

[@lebeninglastonburyderinsel1766]

I love this one :). I like to be a tiger for a moment and think it may have also other benefits besides physical health. Thank you so much. I will try it for a couple of weeks and hope my shoulder and neck will be alright. I do other Qui Gong daily , but it does not seem to help with the shoulder and neck problems.

[@cavanrouse8428]

Leben in Glastonbury UK agree Have been practicing for 16 years and did have severe neck shoulder tension; However after daily practise of the The tiger, and rowing the boat; Now 8 weeks have hardly any tension and did notice a difference after 3 weeks thanks Jeff.

[@kierstendyson9880]

Hi Jeffrey. I love this one! Please let me know if you strengthen the arms and hands while doing the Tiger exercise or relax them. I can’t tell in the video. Thanks!

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

Yes, you can tighten and strengthen the arms as you are squeezing the shoulder blades together. It shouldn't be uncomfortable, but over time you will have a stronger upper back and shoulders. Hope this helps!

[@judiek914]

GM Jeffrey, I had a C1-C2 cervical fusion 10 years ago and have a lot of arthritis now. I have been doing regular QiGong but it has exacerbated my pain. My neck and traps are horrific. This looks like it will be perfect for my needs. Any other suggestions. Many thanks. Namaste, Judie from NY.

[@VolcanicLioness]

Oh my god this is wild! I’ve been having really bad neck tension all day today. Right before this I was doing another qigong exercise; I kept seeing a tiger coming to me. And now there’s mention of a tiger coming out in this video. Amazing!

[@Awakehz]

The more you look for answers, the more they come

[@Reree-gz5bg]

Ofc the time of the month is about to start. I could tell by the excess stress & moods I have had the last 2 ish days 😬😮‍💨 but I will say since practicing the Daoist principles & slowly incorporating qigong, I have noticed I am 70% calmer 🧘‍♀️

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

That's wonderful to hear!

[@missellendiane]

thank you so much- very needed during these times- Sharing to Ashford Fitness Society on fb- stay blessed-question- does it matter which hand leads for men/women?

[@leoniea138]

6 years late but here I am ❤

[@jomyb55]

Can this be alternated with the outdoor video (15.31) with the "chicken pose"(!) as I love that too for alleviating shoulder and upper arm pain and I just so want to get that leg flow .... they both seem so beneficial! Thanks so much..

[@denn3981]

Hi Jeff, do you have any exercise for knee pain?

[@bobmag5058]

Great

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

Thanks so much!

[@johnnysolow]

I saw who you really are!! It's been bugging me for a while...this feeling I recognised the voice...and then it was obvious and even the face is the same. Elvis Presley!!! Elvis lives!!!

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

Ha ha!🕺

[@pat7655]

I’ve been practicing for many years. I’ve adapted a slower breathe 🧘‍♀️ in my sequences. I’ve never asked this question. But is it possible ok to go much more slowly than your videos suggest.

[@seadnovalic5225]

I have problem in C7 Vertebrae. Does this exercise help for my C7. My Forefinger and middle finger tingling. Thank you

[@alexfpower]

What is your knowledge about qigong and medication? I take a couple of strong meds that seem to affect my qigong practice when I try more advanced practices/techniques. For the beginner and intermediate stuff I am fine, but for the advanced stuff, I can get insomnia and other symptoms when I take my nighttime meds. Ive tried different forms of qigong over the years with this same reaction.

No victim "tigers trapped in the cave in in in - then see freedom out out out good video explained well.

[@mimimills1644]

Really enjoying your Qi gong routine. Have a question..when I’m in the middle of your routine I start to yawn. It’s not that I’m tired...is it stagnant Qi.

[@morganebozet4068]

I was told several times that when you breathe deeper than usual, a common reflex is yawning. So maybe it'll go away on its own when you're more used to the exercises :)

[@mimimills1644]

Thanks for your insight. I’ve noticed my breathing has changed over the last few weeks and has helped me relax so much more....no more yawning.

What can I do to stop people attacking me in my neighbourhood?

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

+Diana Watkins that sounds like a complicated problem but I would highly recommend a self defense class. Not only would you learn about what to do in dangerous situations but you'll also feel empowered so that you are no longer an "easy target." We don't need to know how to "fight" in order to defend and protect ourselves. We need situational awareness, prevention, and self defense skills in order to be safe. I hope it all goes well☺

[@joyceclark3861]

[@kimberlystevens886]

Are these good for degenerative disk disorder too? I have trouble with C4, 5, & 6 which causes neck & shoulder pain.

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

You should definitely consult with your doctor, physical therapist, or health practitioner to let you know if these movements are ok for you. If there is no "significant" degeneration then these exercises can be very helpful for alignment, strength, and range of motion, as well as letting the body relax and unwind. Please do consult your practitioner though :)
