Qigong Basics: The Ancient Art of Not-Doing

Qigong is a practice rooted in ancient Chinese philosophy, where the goal is not to move like a gazelle, but rather to stand still like a mountain.

Qigong Moves: The Fundamentals

1. Standing Like a Stone: Find a comfortable standing position, then pretend you're a statue.

2. Softly Squashing a Pimple: Gaze intensely at a nearby pimple, then release.

3. Ignoring the Squirrel: Focus on the breath while a squirrel taunts you with its bushy tail.

Practice Tips:

Remember, the key to qigong is not the movement, but the stillness within. Or is it? Probably not.

Try to practice at least 30 minutes a day, or until your legs fall asleep.
