How to Perform a Qi Gong Stress Reduction Visualization



Discover the anti-stress aspects of qi gong, an ancient and gentle form of meditation and movement that has been used for centuries in Chia to promote youthfulness and longevity.









1


Unlike traditional western exercise, qi gong visualization trains the energy of the body to invigorate internal organs to detoxify the body and promote less stress and greater health. This visualization is taken from my article on reducing stress and lowering blood pressure naturally.

Sit in a relaxed position, slightly off the edge of your chair with your back relaxed and slightly slumped.





2


Inhale slowly for a count of five. Exhale slowly for a count of five.





3


Remember to stay relaxed and breathe deeply and naturally. Exhale fully. Inhale fully.





4


Visualize a cool waterfall of energy: As you visualize this waterfall, imagine the serene water:

Flowing over your head and down the neck.

Soothing anger as it flows over the right side of your body through the liver and gallbladder (under the right rib cage).

Calming any sensation of anxiety as it flows over the left side of your body through the stomach and spleen (under the left rib cage).

Washing away any fear as the water flows down to the lower back and into the kidneys (in the lower back).

Cleansing and healing as it flows down the legs and out the feet, releasing all heat, all worry, all anxiety and all fears.





5


End the visualization with inhaling slowly for a count of five and exhaling for a count of five.





6


Place your hands on your lower abdomen with palms facing inward and rest for a few moments.








Tips & Warnings










Remember to keep your entire body relaxed not rigid throughout the visualization and breathe deeply.
