Description

Eight Brocade Qi Gong

(Therapeutic Exercise for Prevention and Balanced Health)

Dr. Aihan Kuhn

General Information:

Eight Brocade Qi Gong was originally created in China about 4000 years ago. This was confirmed by an artifact of a drawing with numerous body postures (similar to this Qi gong form) estimated to be 4000 years old.

In the early days, before there was medicine, Chinese people used Qi Gong exercise to improve their health, avoid illness, better deal with stress, and improve longevity.

Eight Brocade is called “Ba Duan Jin.” “Ba” means the number 8; in Chinese culture, eight is a lucky number. The word “Duan” means a piece or a section. The word “Jin” means silk-made soft fabric with beautiful designs. When put together, it means “Eight Piece Beautiful Silk.” When doing this exercise, you can feel its gentleness and smooth flow, and you feel good. Imagine you’re wearing silk clothes and feeling comfortable.

This gentle Qi Gong nurtures our organ system, calms the mind, stretches the body, and brings more oxygen to the body and the brain. These result in tuning up the organ system, opening body energy channels, regulating the nervous system, promoting circulation, strengthening the body, boosting energy, and leading to good health and happiness. This integrated mind/body practice is the key to maintaining optimum health, assisting healing, and preventing illness.

People who practice this form regularly experience less stress, feel more relaxed and comfortable with themselves, and enjoy life. They also feel they have better emotions, mental clarity, and energy.

In this program, there are two components:

1. A video including step by step instructions, and entire Qi Gong form.

2. A PDF file with a step-by-step description of each movement. This can help students to learn the movements anytime they don’t have access to the video.


Practice Requirement:

  1. When practicing with this video, make sure to relax your body, clear your mind, remove any thoughts, and focus on the present moment.

  2. Proper breathing in this Qi Gong practice is very important. Breathing should be deep, smooth, long, and slow.

  3. Most breathing is abdominal breathing, but some movements require chest and abdominal breathing. Your intuition will lead you to the correct breathing during your practice. For beginners, do the breathing you feel most comfortable doing.

  4. Movements involve slowly stretching many different parts of the body. It would be best to stretch as far as possible without causing discomfort. If you cannot do some movements, slightly modify them until you get used to them. The good news is that you will improve your practice over time.

  5. Please keep in mind that daily practice is the key.
