Zy Qigong Training
Zy Qigong practise is divided into five Levels.
At the moment the Zy Qigong Society of Calgary offers Level I and II classes.
Level I - Relaxed State, experiencing qi flow
This
level lays the foundation for ongoing ZY Qigong practice. We will focus on working with the Lower Dantian. The
quantity and quality of qi determines one's physical health, potential, reproductive functions, and longevity. Our goal
in Level I is to activate, to improve, and to transform the energy of the Lower Dantian. This will generate life force,
normalize circulation along the energy channels, and open existing blockages.
Level I is taught in two phases, with classes to support each of them.
Class Description
Level IA
At this level you will be introduced to four preparational exercises
and one main exercise, disigned to balance yin and yan withing the body and to open channels and bioactive points. You
will learn and practice:
- to relax your physical body and your mind
- to prepare your body for qi
- make your hands pulse energetically without physically moving them
- form a qi ball with your hands, increase its charge, and not lose the charge
as you move it above your head or into your belly
- move qi around the inside of your body with your hands
- feel the difference in your hands between pushing and pulling qi
- to apply the ability to move qi with the hands in two meditations to increase
and ground our energy: cleansing and gathering
- to stand in Big Tree comfortably for at least half an hour
- to maintain an open connection from your hands through your navel to lower dan tian
- to feel the increasing charge of your lower dan tian
- to feel earth energy move up through your feet and body
- to feel heaven energy move down through your head and body
Level IB
At this level, you solidify your energy foundation
by continuing Level 1A practice. In addition, you will be introduce to two main exercises: Refining Qi
and Microcosmic Orbit. During this phase you will learn and practise:
- to refine qi comfortably for at least one hour
- to feel your hands and lower dantian getting hot, and getting hot faster in
successive refining qi meditations
- feel the qi begin to rise spontaneously
- guide the circulation of the qi through the microcosmic orbit (Ren-Mai
and Due-Mai channels) with the relaxed pulsing of the perineum
Level II: Calm state, clearing the mind
At this level, we continue Level 1 training to increase our energy but with
a new emphasis on improving the integrity of the energy body. We add Level 2 preparation exercises, Level 2 Big Tree, and
other practices to open the hips and the back of the pelvis, activate and build middle dan tian, and open and build the central
channel.
Level II is taught in two phases:
Level IIA: Integrating the energy body
Level IIB: Relaxing the energy body
The ZY Qigong Society is dedicated to bringing qigong to people
from all walks of life. Through the Zhong Yuan Qigong self-development process, we will understand ourselves physically, energetically
and informationally—our bodies, minds and spirits—and will learn to integrate those three elements.
