Introduction:
Qi-gong
(or
Ch'i
kung)
is
Chinese forms combining standing,
sitting and moving meditation.
“Qi means "Moving life-force of
energy," while Gong means “skill of
breath”. This marriage art of
gathering and circulating energy
immerses with “Chi” to further
regulate and balance the body's
internal
energy.
Standing forms are most
typified in Qigong, yet there are
also many physical forms and styles of
Qigong that it could vary with
lots of movement (Dynamic) or no
movement (Static) positions.
Compare to Tai Chi, It offers
more subtle and quieter styles to
motion. Although Qigong does have some
dynamics attributes, most forms
transition with holding stance
positions to find stillness rather the
doingness from a synchronized
choreograph.
Both spirit and
body are inseparable, thus trained
Qi-gong is internally integrated. It
uses soft movement and stances
coupled with controlled breath. These
variations of Chinese systems
offer physical and mental training to
reach meditative states of
improving our Medical, Martial and
Spiritual. The technique of skill
with breath work is the major conduit
in linking the energy awareness
to promote the circulation of Chi
within the human body.
Style Used:
Through
John
Salat's 30 year educational
experience, he practices from a
variety of systems with students. Most
of the class focuses with
Medical self-healing styles for health
preventives, maintenance and
longevity. By default, by being
healthy through body with mind
integration, the spiritual and
well-being bridges right in place to
unify man and nature. All qi-gong
systems can be composed of one or
more types of training, aiming to
nourish, cultivate, balance and
increase our awareness of “qi“
cultivation.
Emphases with "breath
energy," will follow strongly this
attention. Proper utilization with
cycling inhalations and exhalations
is the key while merging our mind with
the movement using the breath. In addition, John Salat
will may combined Sound
Resonation, breath control, and
thought intention to orchestrate
movement all at once to maximize
results creating energy dynamics.
With those in chronic
pain, John Salat will sometimes
work independently with students using
Qi 2 point healing touch systems
to further regulate and balance his
client's Yin and Yang energy,
bringing it back into harmony or he
may lightly skim to dredge any
external channel of Qi that will
further released the internal channels
themselves which serve as pathways for
Qi transference during his
classes.
Results or
Experiences to
Expect:
These
disciplines
aid
with
fresh
thoughts and released emotions, to
relax the individual's and to
become receptive and improve one’s
moral character. Students will
often notice strengthening in there
bodily resistance to achieve better
overall tolerance. With the
increase of circulation of Qi to
blood, experiences will vary with
sensations of warmth, fullness,
tingling and even some magnetic
feelings. These common sensations
associated with a gathering of qi are
unique for every person. But more
importantly it is noticing your
experiences of gaining a new fresh
confidence. Through being
conscious, the increase Flow of Qi
through the meridians will unlock
these energetic blockages that untie
as knots, thus allowing subtle
energy/awareness to once again flow
and
unfold freely. Results with
Qigong benefits are the same as Tai
Chi, but suites more from the
variety of ages than the required
balance and strength if Tai Chi.
Using more visual with talk-through
guidance in class, the qi-gong
exercises coordinate breath with
attention for directing and
activating the body's life-force
energy.
