Wild Goose Qigong
The form imitates the movements of
a Wild Goose as it `spreads it's wings' and `swoops down to drink water'.
It contains vigorous and gentle movements combining them with stillness
to create an exercise of great beauty. The movements stimulate the acupuncture
points and channels, to open them and allow the Qi to flow smoothly. Vigorous
movements release negative Qi and the gentle movements gather fresh Qi.
It exercises your entire body leaving you feeling calm, clear and alive.
Wild Goose Qigong consists of two
parts - First 64 movements and Second 64 movements.
First 64: -The First 64 movements
are for your `Postnatal Body', they deal with any illnesses or injuries
that you have developed as a result of everyday life.
Many have found that practising the
First 64 has cleared up old nagging injuries. It purifies the body, improving
circulation and making the muscles and joints more supple.
Second 64: Having completed the First
64 you can move onto the Second 64. The Second 64 deals with your `Prenatal
Body', that is it deals with any problems that you were born with or inherited
from your parents.
This part of the form is stronger
than the First 64. The energy it deals with is stronger and it involves
more acupuncture points and channels. Thus as you learn Wild Goose Qigong
you learn a great deal about Chinese medical principals such as the acupuncture
points and channels.
One day, in the summer of 1978,
an old Chinese lady arrived at Shun - Wu park Beijing, where many people
were waiting for here. Some of them had been waiting for more than an hour.
The people gathered round and one
by one told her the problem with their health. As each came forward, she
placed her hand where the pain was and incredibly, it disappeared! That
day the people left the park very happy. And today, this old lady is one
of the most famous Qigong masters. Her name is Yang Meijun.
Master Yang Meijun remembers the
evening, when she was just thirteen years old her grandfather Yang Tak-Shan
said to her, "Today you are the 27th inheritor of Kunlun Taoist Dayan Qigong.
This skill has never been taught to anyone outside the family. You must
practise diligently."
Little Yang Meijun listened carefully
and patiently followed her grandfathers teachings. She is now one hundred
years of age. She is the director of the `Dayan Qigong Training Centre',
an honorary member of the `China Scientific Research Society Of Qigong'
and an honorary professor to several universities.
