Please review the Guidelines prior to practicing this Qigong.
Nei Dan Qigong
This practice uses a number of different techniques to balance and improve the health of the major organ systems. Positioning, breathing, and stretching to open meridians for the kidneys, liver, gall bladder, stomach, heart, lungs, intestines, bladder, and spleen; pressure at the ear reflexes for the spine and back; tapping at the grief point of the heart to release emotional trauma (*see Reference below), gentle massage of the pancreas, and acupressure at points of the head to improve clarity and focus.
Instruction
The Instuctional version provides more guidance on how to perform each of the movements in this sequence. When you feel comfortable with the movements, switch to the Practice version for regular, repeated use.
Practice
This set of movements is intended to improve the Qi in all of the major organs and systems.
Reference excerpts from Unattended Sorrow, by Stephen Levine
pg 108 “When there is loss, that very tender heart point becomes the grief point, …clogged by unresolved sorrow, disappointment, and a long-delayed disquiet begging for peace.”
pgs 111/112 “…simple physical tapping of the grief point produces a balance of energy in this area of the chest that encourages a deep surrender into compassion. …Tapping the heart is a powerful technique for getting through levels of numbness and unfinished business, drawing healing into that area… By tapping the heart, we harmonize with the rhythm of the universe.”
Centered in Oneness
These movements balance the body, mind, heart and spirit. We begin this ‘Qigong’ by establishing a connection with the higher vibrational Qi of the ninth chakra, and end with bringing this Qi down through the chakras of the body. In between, the movements improve the energetic balance between the mind, heart and body, and stimulate the kundalini energy at the base of the spine. This ‘gong’ encourages a gentle flow of the kundalini and ninth chakra energies through the seven main chakras to cleanse and purify. This practice can be extended by adding the movements of Kundalini Qigong directly after!
Practice
Follow along as I guide you through the movements. This Qigong does not require a separate instructional video.
Kundalini Qigong
Part 1 balances the body, mind, heart, and spirit. We begin this Qigong by establishing a connection with the higher vibrational Qi of the ninth chakra, and end by bringing this Qi down through the chakras of the body. In between, the movements improve the energetic balance between the mind, heart, and body, and stimulate the Kindalini energy at the base of the spine. This Gong encourages a gentle flow of the Kundalini and ninth-chakra energies, through the seven main chakras, to cleanse and purify.
Part 2 focuses directly on the Kundalini energy. The opening movements physically and energetically stimulate the energy at the base of the spine. Subsequent movements encourage this Qi to flow upward. As the Kundalini moves up to the Crown, it engages and blends with the Qi of the ninth (star) chakra. This higher vibrational blend of Qi then returns back down into the body, to cleanse and purify the main energy centers.

The Instuctional version provides more guidance on how to perform each of the movements of Parts 1 & 2. When you feel comfortable with the movements, switch to the Practice version for regular, repeated use.

Five Elements Qigong
In Taoist philosophy, the forces that create Life, from birth to death, growth to decay, are referred to as the Five Elements (or Five Elemental ‘Forces’). These are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each Element has unique characteristics that contribute to the cycle of physical life. Each element also affects, and is affected by, the other four. The movements of this practice allow the practicioner to gain a deeper understanding and experience of each of these elements. As such, these movements create better balance and harmony, as the Five Elements work in our personal lives.
