What Exactly Is Qigong Meditation?

Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is a Chinese healing technique that mixes meditation, controlled breathing and modest physical exercise. It is a form of mindfulness meditation that is based on the principles of qigong, a Chinese practice that combines breathing techniques with visualization and energy concentration methods.

Qigong meditation, like other forms of mindfulness meditation, involves focusing one’s attention on the present moment and observing thoughts and sensations. The goal of qigong meditation is to promote feelings of calm and peace. Qigong meditation is often practiced as part of qigong exercise routines, but it can also be practiced on its own, and it serves as an effective way to reduce stress, improve sleep, and increase feelings of well-being.

Qigong meditation incorporates two essential ideas from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). “Qi” is roughly translated as “vital life force,” while “Gong” implies mastery or cultivation. In TCM, poor health is caused by blocked energy that travels through the body’s twelve meridians -known as the “meridian network.” As a result, qigong is considered to help people stay healthy by allowing their energy, also known as qi, to flow throughout their bodies.

Microcosmic Orbit – One of The Key Component Of Qigong Meditation

The Microcosmic Orbit is an ancient Taoist practice that involves visualizing and circulating energy throughout the body. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the energy or “chi” in our bodies flows through specific channels known as meridians, and the flow of this energy can become disrupted or blocked if our energetic pathways are not cleared and balanced. The Microcosmic Orbit technique is designed to restore balance by clearing blockages in a series of circular movements through the meridian pathways of the body.

This practice involves circulating energy through your Ren (Conception) and Du (Governing) Channels by visualizing the energy at various acupressure points along these two channels. By focusing on these key spots, you can strengthen and nourish your internal organs, clearing blockages that may be fuelling physical or emotional imbalances.
