ZiRan QiGong (Natural Style QiGong)

 

Qigong is an ancient Chinese health care system dating back over 2500 years.

It has evolved overtime to become a holistic method of healthcare, linked primarily to the evolution of Chinese medicine and Taoist/Buddhist spiritual practices. 

 

Qigong is a vast and complex art, involving various methods or sets of exercises similar to that of Traditional Yoga, yet it is uniquely and wholly of its own.

 

The aim is specific to which ever outcome is intended, whether for

self-regulation, longevity health practices or internal/spiritual cultivation. 

 

It is the art and science of using breathing techniques, gentle movement along with focused intention, and meditation to cleanse, strengthen, and circulate the life energy known as Qi. Qigong practice leads the practitioner toward better health and vitality and a tranquil state of mind.

 

ZiRan QiGong follows the path of spiritual liberation.

Tian, Ren and Di (Heaven, Man and Earth). 

Become one and return to the Tao, the infinite.

This is the path of NeiDan (Internal Alchemy).

 

ZiRan QiGong principles follow three stages of development.

Level One

Strengthening Jing (essence) to convert into Qi (energy),

Level Two 

Cultivating Qi (energy) to convert into Shen (Spirit),

Level Three

Enhancing the Shen (Spirit) to transform into WuJi (nothingness). 

 

Specific methods traditionally taught within the

ZiRan QiGong curriculum are:

The natural state of water is clear and pure, 

though it can be made turbid by the soil. 

The disposition of man is serene and tranquil, 

though lust and desire can disturb it. 

Only when the room is empty,

is there space to expand. 

Life's journey will be bright,

and intuition awakened.
