STANDING QIGONG MEDITATION | ZHAN ZHUANG

[@TheBeautygarden]

I started Zhan Zhuang 3 years ago. Incredible benefits. I am a 70 year old woman.

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

Your experience will help others who want to practice Zhan Zhuang.

Örülök a sikerednek. Én is 70 éves vagyok. Csak 3 napja végzem a gyakorlatot, és ma már 20 percig álltam. Erős a motivációm. :) Nálad milyen egészségi probléma oldódott meg a 3 év alatt? Kérlek, válaszolj!❤

Back in the 1980s/90s in NYC Chinatown, we used to call it Yi Chuan. "Mind Boxing" It was said to be still as mountain, powerful as thunder. This was done before physical martial arts, like Wing Chun. I still do it today 30 years later.

Hello, dear LuChin ! After your Sunday class on IT Live , I felt motivated to continue with the Zhan Zhuagn practice and I managed to do it for 30 minutes !!! It was an amazing experience ! ! After a few minutes I felt my right shoulder acting up but as I persisted in relaxing my shoulders and my muscles , the pain went away. I moved my body, guided by the chi, from time to time, to alleviate the pain but without completely dropping my elbows. After a while, someting wonderful started to happen. My ellbows started to lift by themselves, my fingers to spread, my arms to open their embrace (like hugging a beautiful tree), my horse stance to widen, my feet to anchor themselves better on the sides... As you said, I felt that the chi was correcting my body position ! I usually get a bad back pain when I stand without moving for a longer period ! Not this time !! I feel so calm now and a feeling of happiness is surrounding me ! This is trully a wonderful gift ! I also love your video, with clear, step-by-step explanations. Your voice is so soothing ! Thank you so much, LuChin ! ❤❤❤

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

That is incredible, Dana!! I read your comments a few times, I am amazed! I am very happy for you! In such short time, you are already experiencing this much benefits! Wow!! Keep this gift, you’re going to live to 100, my friend!

Hello Dear LuChin!!! Amazing!!! I did this for 3 minutes and within the time span, I felt my eyesight clearer, my morning anxiety disappeared and felt more clarity. Also, I can feel the blood flow harmoniously within my body. Truly interesting and something i'll be practicing more and will try to get up to 15 minutes!!! Thank you again LuChin!!!

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

Hi J! Wow, for the first try, you were able to hold up to three minutes!! Good for you! AND you are able to experience the benefits within the short time. Truly amazing!

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

You’re able to in experience so much within three minutes! I hear from others in my group who have been practicing for two or three years or longer, they have similar or more profound experiences. Please keep on practicing, you are going to live to 100!

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

Zhan Zhang is the best, free medicine, truly! My goal is to be able to stand comfortably for 30 or 40 minutes. With the injuries in my ankles, knees and shoulders. Actually, Zhan Zhuang is not easy for me.

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

I’m able to stand for about 20 minutes now, without irritating my knee joints. I do it right before I go to sleep. it helps me to fall asleep very quickly.

[@jdog804]

@@QiYogaWithLuChin Well LuChin I owe it all to you! Your videos have inspired me to meditate more and to relax and enjoy life. Today before the Zhan Zhang I felt my center core was off. After three minutes I felt an energy shift and by the end of the morning my health was really good. I am faithful you will achieve success in your thirty minute Zhan Zhang and to honor you I will do the same! My goal this evening is five minutes and work my way to the thirty minutes.

Update on Zhan Zhuagn!!! I'm still at 7 minutes at my peak (five minutes average). I find the more I do this, I feel areas of my body beginning to hurt more. However, the more I meditate those ailments begin to go away. I find the more I do this, the more I can resolve issues of my body. The more I practice, my body and soul begin to feel stronger. I'm still determined for ten minutes!!! I still practice the Qigong meditation in between and for myself is helping with my Zhan Zhuang.

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

Hi J, so happy you’re keeping at it. Thank you for the update.! You’re going to experience so much more as time goes. 🤗 I’d love to hear another update months from now.

[@TheBeautygarden]

Keep going! I have been doing Zhan Zhuang now for almost 4 years, the benefits are many -- I will never give it up. It does hurt at first. I started at only 3 minutes it was painful at first. Now I do 20 minutes for 6 days each week. I am 70 years old.

Good for you! It certainly shows the Qi is trying to flow through that area! Keep it up 🤗💕

[@ukemanstourbridge]

Thank you, that was very clear. I use this stance when performing 4-directional breathing. I heard years ago that people hold this stance for long periods but, until now, I have not heard or read an explanation of the purpose of holding it for so long. Thank you for explaining that. Is there a recommended best time of day to perform this?

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

Just remembered I haven’t responded to your question. Sorry! To nourish health, a 30 consecutive-minutes of Zhan Zhuang would help maintain your good health. But if you have underlying conditions, chronic disease or injuries, then you should try to work up to 40 executive minutes each time. I’m not sure where you are in Zhan Zhuang, please don’t be discouraged. it takes time. Start with five minutes, add a minute each day, and you will make it there. 🙏❤️‍🩹.

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

The reason I didn’t mention this in the video is I don’t want to scare people. It took me a long time to make it to 15 minutes.

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

There are variations of Zhan Zhuang practices, which can be practiced seated or laying down. I will be working on those videos in the near future.

[@ukemanstourbridge]

Great, thank you. I’ve practised this stance for about 14 years but only for short periods. I weave it into the various Qigong practices that I perform. I now have something else to aim for😀

Hi, Pete! I meant to get back to you sooner. There are a few hands and arm positions for Zhan Zhuang. The one I demonstrated in this video is the “Hun Yuan Zhuang”. You can also hold your hands by your sides in the WuJi posture. That is called “Wuji Zhuang”. They all work in achieving health benefit.

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

Intense itching on the middle finger indicating imbalance in the heart (the pericardium Meridian ) . Was the intense itching on the left middle finger happens during Zhan Zhuang? If it is, it’s a good thing, it shows the body is purging illness, or conditions may lead to illness.

[@fauxz3782]

Is this good for martial arts or only for healing ?

[@QiYogaWithLuChin]

Zhan Zhuang is a fundamental training in martial art. In the old days before a master teach a disciple combat skills, he will probably have to practice Zhan Zhuang for a couple of years. In martial art, they hold the pose much lower. But for health and healing, we hold the pose high.

[@wiewiorka_ojoj]

Dear LuChin, I’ve done this routine today for only 7 minutes because after about 2 minutes my body (especially the lower part, from the pelvis to the legs) started to trembling. I’m practicing this routine everyday with you, but the shaking happened for the first time. I’ve also changed the place, usually I’m doing the morning exercises in my living room, but today I’ve done it in the corridor, in front of the mirror. I’m not sure if the place of doing the exercises matters… - Shall I do the practice longer regardless the trembling body? After I finished those 7 minutes I feel nice and relaxed. - Does the place of practicing the qigong matter a lot? - How many times a day one can practice this meditation? Could you please comment? Thank You in advance, I wish you fantastic day 🔆❤️🔆

[@Puils]

Trembling is a natural way for the body to release tension and accustom to the right patterns of movement. I'd just go with it, it can even get a bit intense, but its perfectly normal (look up TRE exercises for example), and then it should go away after practising for a while

[@rebeccanewcombe-harmon2626]

[@PaulWinning-d3x]

Seems an absurd way of exercising from a Western or Japanese point of view until you try it.....can't do it that well I also practice it seated and lying down I first encountered it in 1995 in a park in Osaka early morning.....I used to suffer severe asthma and would do ken suburi in a park nearby.....saw this foreigner doing some weird exercise turns out he was studying Taikiken created by Kenichi Sawai who in 1931 in China challenged Wang Xiangzhai in a park in Beijing to a match he was a judo and kendo practitioner.....soundly defeated he started to study with the master and took Chinese culture back to Japan After WWII.....10 years later in 2006 I ended up in China and started doing taichi and would alternate between moving practice and stillness.....the stillness was missing from my Japanese martial arts training now I feel especially older stillness or posture holding training is especially important to calm jangled nerves in a chaotic modern world something many young people will find out hopefully
