Qigong short forms In the World of Qigong Practice

In the world of qigong practice, there is a large variety of forms that can be studied. Included in that multitude are a tremendous number of short forms that can be incorporated into your daily life as well. These short forms are designed to promote balance in your life and many of them are also designed to help along a particular illness or injury that pertains to being uniquely female. In addition to helping an injury or illness, many of these short forms can be practiced during the day to help you continuously maintain a carefree qigong state. This, in turn, will benefit your health and keep your ‘qi engine’ running in the event that it is impossible to take the time to practice a long form.

The following forms that I have translated are from Buddhist Grand Master Yuan Huan-xian, Grand Master and Dr. Yan Xin, and the texts of the ancient qigong-masters and well known physicians, Immortal Tao Hong-jing (A.D. 452-536), Immortal Sun Si-miao (A.D. 581-682), and Chao Yuan-fang (A.D.586-618).

I have arranged the forms according to the time of day when they can be practiced for general well-being or according to a particular problem that you might be experiencing. Read through them and feel free to select a form that best suits the needs of your own lifestyle. Each of the following short forms can be practiced as solo forms as well as to compliment a long form.

When you practice any qigong form, it is not good to focus your mind solely on one area of the body or to focus on only one area for a long period of time. It is also more important to feel what you are doing when you are practicing than worrying about the movements.
