‘WUDANG
QI GONG’
In Chinese, ‘Qi’ means energy and ‘Qi Gong’ means working
the Qi.
The Chinese philosophy principle is based
on the understanding of the individual as an energetic being and integral part
of the Universe ("Microcosms in the Macrocosms"), with which performs
energy exchanges constantly.
In our body, we have different kinds of
energies that circulate trough channels called meridians, which are directly
connected with the five organs (leaver, heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys) and have
such an importance in the adjusting and the maintenance of the main physiologic
functions, allowing the organic homeostasis.
The daily stress, unbalanced nutrition,
lack of sleeping, lack or wrong physical exercise practice, emotional
disturbances (anger, joy, concern, sadness, fear), and exogenous factor aggression
(wind, heat, dampness, dryness, cold), weaken the energy in our body and can block
its circulation causing pathologies.
‘Qi Gong’ is an ancient Chinese method (its
origins remains to 5000 years ago in China) of breathing techniques and
specific movements and postures, that increases the intake and circulation of
energy in our body and adjust the balance between ‘body & mind’, in order
to promote an healthy existence.
‘Wudang Qi Gong’ or ‘Daoist Qi Gong’, comes
from the Wudang Mountain in China and has been practiced everyday from
centuries ago till our days, by the Daoist Priests, martial arts Masters and
local people in Wudang.
The goal of practicing internal qi gong is to
expel the toxins and the old and unhealthy qi that has accumulated in our
bodies over the time and to take in and store in the ‘Dan Tian’ (energetic
centre), new healthy fresh qi to strengthen the body, revitalizing the energy
and the spirit.
Many benefits have been proven with this
practice, such as: strength the vital energies, the five organs, the tendons,
the muscles and the bones; invigorates the immune system; regulates the
endocrine glandes and the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems; promotes the
energy and blood circulation; unifies the ‘body & mind’ in an harmonious
balance; improves the qualities for martial arts fighting; expands the mind to
achieve higher levels of conscience and develop the spirituality.
Qi Gong is a powerful method to health and
mind preservation. It could be practiced in order to avoid as well as treating
diseases.
People of all body types, ages, and goals
can practice qi gong and enjoy its healthy benefits.
All of the Qi Gong benefits make the Wudang
Masters to believe that Daoist Qi Gong is ‘The
way to the longevity’.
