This compilation, curated by Dr. Bingkun Hu, an adept in the field of medical qigong, consists of simple yet profound exercises. Aligned with the core principles of Wild Goose Qigong, it serves as an excellent precursor to the latter. Circular movements, body weight redistribution, and abdominal breathing constitute its emphasis.
The following details the twelve exercises:
- Rowing the Boat
- Kneading the Dough
- Paddling like a Dog
- Playing with the Qi Ball
- Embracing the World
- Birthday Candles
- The Big Guy
- Balancing Heaven and Earth
- Rejuvenation
- Fireworks
- Walking in Place
- Primordial Qigong
The initial eleven exercises involve simple movements, repeatable at will, all executed in a stationary position. This provides an ideal starting point, allowing practitioners to choose and practice them in any desired sequence.
Primordial Qigong, in contrast, serves as a complete practice by itself. With origins attributed to the legendary founder of taiji quan, Zhan San Feng, it has been passed down for eight centuries by Daoist Masters at Wudang Mountain. Master Zhu Hui, who learned it from Taoist Master Li Tong when the latter was 106, introduced it to the public. Dr. Bingkun Hu, my teacher, acquired it from Master Zhu Hui.
According to Master Zhu Hui, this practice played a crucial role in curing his liver cancer. While running a clinic in China, he successfully used Primordial Qigong to treat various chronic ailments.
Primordial Qigong requires a space of approximately three feet by three feet.
