Qigong for Sleep -Deep and Peaceful w/ Jeffrey Chand

www.qigongforvi... with Jeffrey Chand
Click the link above to access this routine with the Qi Gong for sleep practice without the introduction. This is ideal for daily/nightly practice!
Sleep has been recognized as one of the biggest factors that contribute to a weak immune system, diabetes, blood sugar imbalance, heart disease, hormone imbalance, depression, weight gain, stress, and many other health and medical conditions. It has been studied quite significantly in the past few years, and for good reason.
If you have had issues with sleep, you are not alone. Approximately 1 in 3 people have mild to major sleep challenges. Sleep problems, or insomnia, can manifest as:
troubles falling asleep
troubles staying asleep - being light sleeper
waking too early in the morning
When considering sleep we need:
enough hours - between 6-9
deep enough sleep - where we go through all the different stages of the sleep cycle
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Qi Gong theory there can be several root reasons for insomnia. Mainly:
heart imbalance
liver imbalance
kidney imbalance
The most common is the heart imbalance. This can show up as insomnia with a racing mind. You may be ready to go to bed but your mind starts thinking about the “what if’s” and “should have’s” right when your head hits the pillow. People often identify this stress or anxiety that is particularly bad at this time.
The heart is both an organ and a system according to TCM. When we have insomnia there is usually too much “heart heat.” This routine focuses on cooling the heart heat so that your mind and body can gently unwind.
Often people will feel as if they can fall sleep much faster after practicing this routine, and they feel as if they have had a deep sleep. A sign of a deep sleep is that you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated independent of the hours you slept for.
Try practicing this routine daily and as you become more familiar with it, it will become more effective! This and many other Qi Gong routines can be found in the Communi Qi and I warmly invite us to join!

I have struggled with insomnia for decades. When I was 42 I was introduced to pharmaceuticals and at some point, the wisdom of my body prompted me to seek alternative modalities for my medical conditions. I was on a cocktail of meds for over a decade and in 2012 weaned off all but one, for sleep. I am trying to wean off this pharmaceutical and am finding this routine, helpful and plan on sticking with it. I have complex-PTSD and I am thinking this is also good for that, in that in what I have read, with Chinese medicine, they don't have this, but look to imbalances in the liver, the heart, the kidneys. I'm looking to Chinese medicine and energy now for support in this journey and loving it and LOVE your videos (I was a professional dancer up until this fall and retired at the age of 60 and find your instructions super connected and can see they come from your own understanding of your own body - mahalo!)

[@freerangemaker]

As I stick with this, I note, it is definitely helping!

[@freerangemaker]

I don't know quite how to articulate what I feel in my body, but there is this awareness that the energy has a more balanced pattern, and it with time is easing out the imbalance expressed muscularly.

[@RichHandsome]

Look up the linden method for anxiety

[@amal0salem]

Hey, I don’t know if anyone ever experienced this but since I was a kid I hated bed time so much. Overwhelmed by anxiety and fear that I can’t sleep easily,,, surprisingly at the age of 22 I noticed that I get anxiety around my bedtime:( it is hard to admit that I have a trauma and on repeat almost every now and then. Long story short I did this exercise last night and I had a really comfortable sleep that I haven’t had for a while, all the thoughts and worries that I try to ignore wasn’t there and slept like a baby. Thank you so much I’m forever grateful and I wish soon to heal my trauma and feel comfortable around this resting time Thank you I’ll keep practicing this every night and will be back with an update Good night everyone 🤍

[@bfotland570]

7:08 for those of us returning to follow along with the exercise. If you are new here the first 7 minutes are instructions and very useful to watch.

I did my daily routine for energy then another for stress, because I'm on antibiotics it's messing with my system. So when this routine came up I layed down to just listen and now I'm so calm, I wanted to sleep right away but my alarm went off to take another pill. I'm so calm I feel like everything is right in the world.

[@jeanettemareeholtof-allen4189]

This is so so so helpful I keep coming back again and again.. THANK YOU 💛

[@luzmarinaallandavidson5401]

Thank you, another wonderful moment .

[@suzypalma5387]

Tonight is my 2nd night doing this. I feel very clear headed, no more scattered, frantic thinking about things I don't need to be worrying about. In the palms of my hands I feel a lot of warmth tonight. I did wake up last night at the usual 1-3am time (liver time) but after some deep dan tien breathing(which I learned from another one of your videos!) I was back asleep within half an hour. usually it takes me hours to fall back asleep if I'm even able to. I will say a bit of lingering pain continues in my chest on the sternum, a bit of tightness. We shall see how things change as I continue this for 2 weeks. Thank you for helping me to go to sleep with a clear head. You know what's funny? Doing this exercise tonight made the scent of my perfume fill the room. It's rare that I notice the scent this late in the day. I guess it warmed me up? I feel like it could be possible that something was oozing through my pores forcing the scent molecules into the air. Either way, it smells really good in my room right now!

[@mazzleton]

Very well done = I am almost asleep. Excellent Video. Thank you.. will practise. Loving Tai Chi - I feel so much better after doing Tai Chi

[@pamledford1541]

Jeffrey, this video is very calming, and I almost went to sleep. I have had sleep problems in the past years ago, but not now. This program is very effective, and I like how you integrated the meridian points through the movements. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you.

[@ThinkVitalityQiGong]

I am so happy to hear you found it helpful! It's quite common to fall asleep during the practice - that's a good sign! You're teaching your body to sleep deeply - keep up the good work!

[@susanyantha4074]

Just to say this video help me go in a deep and relax sleep when I wake up I am so relax and ready for my day thanks for this video

[@juvysmith8544]

[@simoneribeiro6760]

I completed the exercises totally relaxed. Thank you so much!

[@debrawright2711]

[@lindak.bridges9195]

[@katrinacalice6484]

Thank you Jeff. I actually did this very early in the morning when I couldn’t stay in bed any longer with thoughts rushing round my head, so this helped calm them down. Have a beautiful day, blessings your way!

[@maureenbrownlee1224]

Jeffrey! You are the best!

[@Lisah707]

Ive got CMV/HPV6/Epstein barre and some odd blood work and weak kidneys. I have horrible insomnia. I’ve been doing this for about a week now, I always sleep more peacefully. In the beginning I would be in bed reading or watching tv and think awe man I’ve got to get up and do my routine. Always happy that I did. The last two days I noticed I didn’t feel like that I felt like it’s beginning to be apart of what I do before bed! The time went by quicker during the session maybe because I know the routine and it was easier to connect my own energy vs listening for ques. In any event these sessions really work! I’ve tried a couple of others and they really improved my mood! I’m going to keep on going with this! Thanks for sharing!

[@luzmarinaallandavidson5401]

Good night. Thank you

[@anaoliveira4755]

Gosto muito das aulas do Jeffrey, com o cuidado que ele tem e a maneira sincera de expor os movimentos. Gostaria de ver toda a explanação em português porque moro no Brasil e amo Qigong.
