[Video] 7 Ways to Get More Mileage From Your Qigong

Published on September 6, 2017 by Sifu Anthony Korahais

Video Summary:

Whether you practice 2 minutes a day — or 2 hours a day — there are some simple ways to get more mileage out of your qigong.

Here are 7 ideas for you:

1. Feel the Qi

2. Be Gently Aware of Dantian

3. Breathe

4. Smile from the Heart!

5. Practice Maranasati

6. Practice Gratitude

7. Practice 2 Minute Qigong 



Best regards,
Sifu Anthony

I’m Anthony Korahais, and I used qigong (pronounced "chee gung") to heal from clinical depression, low back pain, anxiety, and chronic fatigue. Today, I'm the director of Flowing Zen, an international organization with students in 48 counties. I've been teaching qigong since 2005, I've served on the board for the National Qigong Association, and I’ve helped thousands of people to use qigong for their own stubborn health challenges. If you're ready to get started with qigong, there's no better way than my best selling book, which comes with free videos and meditations. The sooner you read my book, the sooner you can start healing! Click here to see my book on Amazon.

      Hi Tim. I understand all too well how back pain can interfere with your sleep. Do you have trouble getting to sleep, or staying asleep?

    Thanks! I finally “get” the importance/use of the 2 minute practice. The other tips are great and make perfect sense!

    Hi, Sifu!
    I’m a Colombian fifteen year old starting in Qigong, and your posts have helped me a lot. I will make sure to follow these seven tips!

    Although right now I can’t pay for online courses, neither I can go to the retires, I hope I will be able to once I have the means. Sifu, I have one question, what happens if someone interrupts my daily practice?
    From probably one of your youngest readers.

    Thanks Sifu.. I love these videos because they remind me to focus on what matters. I don’t yet practice 2 hours a day (around 15 min) and I want to integrate some 2 minute qigong in to my work day.

    All the best,
    John

    Thank you Sifu for keeping in touch in spite of the danger you face with the upcoming hurricane. Perhaps this helps to keep your mind at ease.

    I really enjoy your blog videos and hope you will continue to create them. However, I would like to know if you are able to use the “downlaad” feature like you do with our lessons. I would really like to keep these in a file for off-line use for future review and reference.

    By the way, my brother and his wife are in the direct path of Irma when it curves to the northwest corner of Georgia on its way to Nashville. May be a category 2 by then with winds between 94 to slightly over 100 miles per hour.

    My friends in Punta Gorda have evacuated and this morning the reports showed Irma changed its course going up the center and hitting Fort Meyers and Punta Gorda area. It also appears as it moves upward Gainesville is a direct hit. There is still time for that to change. I hope it does.

    Thinking of you and your family with prayers for your safety.

    Fabulous…especially sprinkling 2 minutes of qigong throughout the day. You have a lovely presence. Thank you.

    Dear Sifu,

    I’m practicing 2 minutes Qigong to make my break during the activities more valuable. So I want to say thanks, because I can manage better the intensive activities.

    I’m thinking of how I could practice Qigong also when I drive car to recharge my energy or to relax. Another situation that I’d like to transform in a Qigong moment is ahead of a PC without closing the eyes.

    Do you have any suggestion for both those scenarios (driving car and sitting ahead the PC with eyes open)?

    Thanks!

      Practicing qigong while driving is dangerous. It’s better to practice awareness, like a kung fu master observing the scene.

      There are plenty of qigong exercises that can be done seated. In fact, I have an entire section in this course on seated qigong: https://flowingzen.mykajabi.com/p/2-minute-qigong-for-healthy-habits

    Yeah acknowledging the temporary things about life may help cultivate gratitude for when they come along. And personally, being a Christian helps me.
