Late Summer Qigong | Earth Element

Late summer is time to gather the harvest and replenish our stores! A routine to tune in to the stomach and spleen meridians, along with the element of earth. KNOCKING ON THE GATE OF LIFE Energises the body and eases out the spine. Allow your loose fists to knock gently on the belly and the gate of life point opposite the navel on the lower spine. Keep everything relaxed. Then allow the hands to knock gently on the lung points at the shoulder's nest, and on the shoulders. SHAKING AND PATTING Shake out and relax the whole body then pat along all the major meridian lines. This is a great way to release old stress or tension held in the body and to bring us fully into the present moment. EMBRACE TIGER, RETURN TO MOUNTAIN Enlivening for all the internal organs. Exhale, releasing old or stuck energy. Inhale and draw energy from the earth up to the heart. Exhale and open gently forwards from the heart. Inhale, lifting the arms to the sky and opening them, then bring them down, returning to the earth. PART THE WILD HORSE'S MANE An exercise for the spleen, which grounds us and acts to rebalance anxiety and over-stimulation. Hold a ball of qi energy in front of the belly. Inhale, opening the arms out diagonally. Exhale and bring the arms back to hold the ball of energy, this time with the opposite arm on top. WAVE HANDS LIKE CLOUDS Brings a beautiful flow to the whole digestive system. Start by holding the ball of qi energy in front of the belly again. You may be able to feel the chi between your hands. If not, no big deal - it comes with time and practice. Move the waist, turning from side to side and keeping the qi ball stable on your centre line. Then begin the Wave Hands Like Clouds movement - the hands exchange places as the waist turns. The hands float light and free, the legs are strong and stable. Keep the qi ball at your centre - make sure that at least some of the side-to-side movement comes from the turn of your waist. STOMACH HEALING SOUND - 'HOOOOO' A grounding practice that calms anxiety and settles agitation. One palm connects to the sky and the other to the earth. The sound is a gentle 'Hoooo' - as if you are sighing, or blowing out a candle. BRINGING DOWN THE HEAVENS Reach the palms to the sky, inhaling. Exhale and bring chi showering down through every cell of your body and back into the earth. COMPLETION One hand over the other on your belly, absorbing the energy from your practice.
