Level 1 - Open Sky Qigong

The focus in Level 1 is on Personal Healing

During this Level you are introduced to the ancient art of Qigong.  You are taught many specific Qigong techniques including Meditation and Movements for nourishing your Core Energy.  These techniques will assist you to balance and heal your physical organs, your emotions and also to calm and centre your mind.

You are assisted to listen more attentively to your internal environment and respond to your body’s Energy signals.  The Practice of Whole Body Listening and Expression assists you in noticing the effect of mental and emotional influences on your body, mind and spirit.  This further empowers you to use your Qigong Practice to consciously balance and clear your internal Energy system.

Level 1 also includes an introduction to basic Traditional Chinese Medicine which forms the basis of the Practices demonstrated.

The techniques in Level 1 will clear blockages, build your Qi and strengthen your Meridians, so you will be ready to move into the deeper techniques of Level 2.

The techniques taught in Open Sky Qigong are a unique synergy of Yin (passive, feminine) and Yang (active, masculine) practices enabling you to sink deeply into your state of Being where you access lasting peace and incredibly vibrant Energy.

Qigong styles covered in Open Sky Qigong level 1 

Sleeping Qigong is a passive Practice enabling you to access the deep Yin Energy of the Earth.
By simply being aware of the breath and lying in specific positions, you create a circuit of Qi flow in the body. This flow cultivates Yin Qi internally and provides the energy to enter deeply into the body.

Standing Meditation works by actively opening the Meridians of the legs and arms which are connected to the Earth and Sun.

Standing Meditation works strongly on strengthening the Kidney Energy, the foundation of all of the body’s Energies. Once we cultivate strong Kidney Energy we grow deeper energetic roots into the Earth. The Earth nourishes us with grounded Energy and we can then rely less on adrenaline for our daily source of energy.

Walking Qigong cultivates Qi from the Earth by creating circular movements with the palms and breathing from the lower abdomen. It is a great Practice for drawing in the Energy in Nature as you walk and enjoy the scenery!

Sitting Qigong You learn to smile internally, releasing tension and accessing Inner Stillness. You also learn how to open, balance and strengthen your lower Energy Centre and circulate Energy to every cell.
