Longevity Qigong
Possibly the most popular Qigong exercise in the world, the Eight Treasures (or Ba Duan Jin as it is known in China) has an ancient tradition which stretches back to the founder of Zen Buddhism; Bodhidharma. Seeing that his monks were tired from extensive meditation, Bodhidharma composed a set of exercises to give them energy and strengthen their bodies.
Hundreds of years later, a Shaolin monk took the eight most effective moves, and these are the exercises taught in this program. Shifu Yan Lei also teaches this in his best-selling Qigong book and download and DVD.
Chinese Medicine is about preventing disease before it happens. Of course, this isn't always possible but at least we can give ourselves a fighting chance. Qigong combines movement and meditation into one fully contained unit. The nervous system is calmed so that stress doesn't interfere with our immune system.
This Qigong works holistically with the body rather than targeting specific illnesses. Performed correctly, there are no side effects and it has both preventative and curative effects.
One of the main purposes of Qigong practice is to rebalance the body, boost the immune system and strengthen the body from the inside out. Health and fitness are like the two wings of a bird, you need both Qigong and Kung Fu or some sort of aerobic exercise to optimise the body.
One of the first things you'll notice when you practice 8 Treasures Qigong is your breath. This unique combination of breath and movement brings more oxygen to your internal organs therefore increasing your energy levels.
Self-massage with this bamboo brush along with Qigong is the one thing that Shaolin Monks have relied on for thousands of years. The Instant Health Massage acts like a natural battery charger for the body at the end of your Qigong Workout.
Unlike Shifu's other programs, this is a teaching program only and not a training program.
