Wudang Taoist Wellness Academy

Do the Dao Now

At the start of the week we learned what Qi Gong is. Now let’s see it in action!

This is Five Animal Qi Gong, as demonstrated by me and my disciple, Eli. Like other Forms of Qi Gong, it uses expressive postures to target exercise and healing in particular areas of the body.

Feel to free to follow along! Full instruction in this and other Forms of Qi Gong are only available through the academy, but here’s some ideas on how to bring Qi Gong into your every day right now.

Actions: A Taoist Routine

WAKE UP
- When you wake up, still in bed, come to your breath. Slow your breath down. Relax your face.
- Get up gently, mindfully wash your face.
OUTSIDE MORNING PRACTICE
- Don’t touch your technology, walk outside.
- Rest in standing meditation. Do sequential relaxation starting from your face down to your toes. Slow your breath.
- Do Morning Adjustment practice and Qi Gong.
MOVEMENT SNACKS
- Move throughout the day with morsols of movement. Try one Qi gong move every hour, or crawling, dancing or Tai Chi.
MINDFUL BREATHS
- Train yourself to take a single mindful breath throughout the day. Relax your face. Slow your exhale. Come back to presence regularly.
