Eight pieces of brocate




This is very old chi kung exercise.Legend is saying that army of chinese emperor was doing his exercise and they had a such a strong energy that they have never lost any battle.

How chi kung can help you?
In our body we have very complicated energy system, which is made of chakras and meridians. Meridian is something like 'energy river' which brings energy to our organs.
When we have blockage in meridians that illess can apear, or feeling or disharmony.
Also if we have low energy in meridians, we feel tired.
In some meridian can be too much energy and in some too litlle.

When we do chi kung all energy is automaticly balanced equally and blockages are removed, step by step.

In chi kung is important breath. In some chi kung you breath naturaly, but here you breath deeply, like in yoga.

In chi kung we work with energy of earth and heawen. But it is lille bit advanced work and i am not sure if i should provide this information on blog.

For begining is enought if we get energised by exercise, by being present in body and deep breath.

BASIC POSSITION
in chi kung is very important basic possition.Legs should be in distance of shoulders and being paralel..like when we are standing in ski.
Knees should be open,we are slighly down.
Weight is more on front part of foots.Hand are in front of chest,fingers open.
You can see it on picture from exercise number 2.
In chi kung is most important attention...we have to be present in body, feel the body..attention is best in hara, area of belly, and in rest of boy as well. Tongue should touch the uper part of mouth.
Then we focus on exercise and breath.

BENEFITS
Chi kung has endless benefits, but mainly it provides good healing of our nerves system, brings a lot o new energy and oxygen, improves concentration and of course heal internal organs.
It is energetic exercise, but it is even good streching for physical body.
