It was during a recent retreat led by Bhante Rahula that I experienced a more holistic approach to the breathing-body mindfulness. He teaches yoga for meditators, and he mentioned Tai chi and Qigong also being helpful for many folks. I found the basic pranayama and stretches he led us through right before meditation to really help me out, to give attention to the body and quiet the ever-so-chatty mind. The little bits of Qigong I've found and done really fit in well for me, more so than yoga. Thanks again! 💕

Well I commented on first finding this and said that I would update my thoughts after having practised this for a few days. It's been 10 days...I now don't have to look at the breathing guidance because my body has already worked out when to inhale and exhale...it just seems to happen so organically! I do this sequence before anything else and have found that I don't really want to look at or check my phone or engage in any tech...for some while afterwards!This is a real little gem and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this version. The birdsong is exquisite.🙏🙏💜

Slowing the breathing is the hardest part! This was such a peaceful, mindful routine. Loved it, thank you.
@eightpieces5 жыл бұрын
Yes, slow breathing does not come naturally for many of us. However, you may achieve it by breathing deep and slow whenever you think of it. Remember to expand your abdomen muscle when you inhale and shrink it when you exhale to get rid of waste air. Good luck!

This is one of my favorite Qi Gong videos. I watch it over and over. My wife and I have started doing Qi Gong exercises every day. We were already in Tai Chi classes, but Qi Gong has brought in an added dimension to our daily exercise routine. I guess you can say we are in our "golden years", and it can be difficult to find activities that don't kill us off. Tai Chi and Qi Gong are relaxing, as well as a great way to improve our balance and range of motion. We search the web for favorite exercises and create our on routines to follow here on KZbin. Thank you so much for creating this video!

What instantly appeals to me is the fact that there are no spoken words....in fact the birdsong, I think, is a real bonus...it seems to add to the serenity of the exercise and increase the feeling of wellbeing. I haven't yet performed the movements.....BUT I just know that I can already sense that this is going to become my regular go-to . I'll keep you updated on my progress...and I'll check out your other two videos too. 🙏
