"Qi is a form of energy. Gong means work. So Qigong is a form of energy cultivation. Through still exercise you can cultivate balance and smooth the energy through the whole body. The Dan Tien will be robust, the meridians will be flowing smoothly, which will gradually realign the body. You can stand and be still and cultivate the mind, the body, the breathing, just by relaxing."

Psychological Illnesses:

Psychological illnesses are primarily caused by sudden, intense, or chronic stimuli of the seven emotions and the mental status.  The seven emotions are: happiness, anger, worry, over-thinking, sorrow, fear and shock.  When these stimuli exceed what the internal organs can handle, they cause turbulence in the human's physical energy which, in turn, causes internal injury and directly affects the corresponding internal organs and promotes the development of various diseases.  Modern psychology recognizes tens and even hundreds of different human emotions.  However, the basic emotions can still be categorized into the following seven types.

Happiness makes the energy relax

Anger makes the energy rise

Worry makes the energy low

Over-thinking makes the energy knot

Grief makes the energy vanish

Fear makes the energy descend

Shock disorients the energy

Quotes: Fu Wei Zhong Shirfu (Emei Qigong Gatekeeper)

{Loose Legs & Loose Body}

Master Sifu Fung Chun discusses the importance of "Loose Legs & Loose Body" in Leung Jan's Gongfu!

Recently Master Sifu Fung Chun watched a Wing Chun demonstration and the practitioner clamped his horse similar to other South Fist arts. Master Sifu Fung Chun commented; "In order to handle the centerline fighting one must have loose legs".

Master Sifu Fung Chun then states "Wing Chun must Relax the Legs, Relax the Body, Relax Relax Relax....

Respect to the Late Master Sifu Fung Chun!

"The key to Pin Sun Kuen relies on the flexibilities of body, hands, waist and steps. It emphasises the entire movement but not the partial effect, therefore in most cases it uses the shoulders, palms, fingers, wrists and elbows. The art al...lows one to switch into different hand shapes when striking, additionally we utilise the Gyeung Gee Fist but not a Flat Fist, in order to change immediately during a fight."

10 Scientifically proven ways to make yourself happier

9. Meditate – rewire your brain for happiness

Meditation is often touted as an important habit for improving focus, clarity and attention span, as well as helping to keep you calm. It turns out it’s also useful for improving your happiness:

In one study, a research team from Massachusetts General Hospital looked at the brain scans of 16 people before and after they participated in an eight-week course in mindfulness meditation. The study, published in the January issue of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, concluded that after completing the course, parts of the participants’ brains associated with compassion and self-awareness grew, and parts associated with stress shrank.

Meditation literally clears your mind and calms you down, it’s been often proven to be the single most effective way to live a happier live. According to Shawn Achor, meditation can actually make you happier long-term:

Studies show that in the minutes right after meditating, we experience feelings of calm and contentment, as well as heightened awareness and empathy. And, research even shows that regular meditation can permanently rewire the brain to raise levels of happiness.

The fact that we can actually alter our brain structure through mediation is most surprising to me and somewhat reassuring that however we feel and think today isn’t permanent.

A little on Hei Gung: Wu Ji Post by Yun Hoi

A little on Hei Gung:

Opening and closing Hei Gung Practice

Wu Ji Post

Most hei gung sets begin with the Wu Ji posture. 

To take this stance - the feet are shoulder width apart, knees are slightly bent and the weight of the body is focused on the Ki point, not on the heels. The back is held straight with the head gentle lifted. Shoulders relax down and out to the sides so the armpits open naturally. Arms hang loose but in a circular shape if viewed from the front. The palms are relaxed and the fingers and palms are slight rounded. 

The best way to get the right shape is to place your hand with fingers spread on top of your head then move them away without change.

The tailbone is straight in a natural position rather than tucked under. 

The ribcage is naturally open and rounded. 

Don’t depress the ribcage or artificially cramp down the chest – just relax.

Release any tension in the solar plexus and diaphragm area. 

- Yun Hoi

New Research - Qi Gong Lowers Blood Pressure

Shin, Kyung-Min, Ji-Eun Park, Sanghoon Hong, Taeseob Park, Minhee Lee, Yan Liu, Jung-Eun Kim et al. "568 A Randomized Controlled Trial for the Use of Qigong in the Treatment of Pre and Mild Essential Hypertension." Journal of Hypertension 30 (2012): e167.

Qi Gong encompasses many styles and forms within each style, many of which are traditionally used to benefit specific bodily systems. The researchers concluded that Qi Gong is safe and has a “positive effect on blood pressure and health status in pre and mild hypertension patients.” Based on these findings, the researchers suggest additional research to further explore the medical benefits of Qi Gong with a larger sample size of participants.

A total of 40 participants were randomized into a control group and a Qi Gong group. The Qi Gong group practiced the forms for a total of 5 times per week for a total of 8 weeks. Blood pressure reductions occurred in the Qi Gong group and not in the control group. Systolic blood pressure reduced significantly. Diastolic blood pressure was unaffected.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is comprised of five major branches: movement arts, acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietetics, bone medicine. Qi Gong and other arts such as Tai Chi are part of the movement arts division of TCM including other forms of breathing and meditation exercises. Most forms of Qi Gong involve meditation, synchronous breathing and physical exercise.

Thoughts on Meditation

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/23/meditation-for-kids_n_3318721.html

..."When you realize that you have come to your wit’s end, you can begin meditation. Or meditation happens, and that happening is simply the watching of what is, of all the information conveyed to you by your exterior and interior senses, and even the thoughts that keep chattering on about it all. You don’t try to stop those thoughts, you just let them run as if they were birds twittering outside, and they will eventually become tired and stop. But don’t worry about whether they do or don’t. Just simply watch whatever it is that you are feeling, thinking, or experiencing – that’s it. Just watch it, and don’t go out of your way to put any names on it. This is really what meditation is." ~Alan Watts...
