Advanced Self Healing Chigong (for Absolute Beginners)
In general, self healing chigongs are slow moving exercises that regulate internal organ function, condition the connective tissue, benefit balance, increase bone density, quiet the mind, and unify body movement for greater strength and reduction in pain.
This type of Self Healing Chigong goes beyond rudimentary "follow the leader" types of Chigong exercises. Instead, I emphasize using "yi" (intent) to guide "chi" (energy) to wherever it is needed in the body. Using the intent essentially supercharges both the healing and meditative aspects of Chigong.
Arthritis, Ehlers Danlos syndrome, and anxiety are a few examples of conditions that can quickly respond to this method. And yes, even total beginners can learn to do this quite effectively.
According to a comprehensive review published by the National Institute for Health, consistent chigong practice improved bone density in post menopausal women, cardiopulmonary function, physical function, immune and anti-inflammatory effects, balance, self efficacy, psychological health, and quality of life. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3085832/
