Stressed Out?

In A Hurry?

Looking For An Easy Way To Relax?

Hey, what kind of question is that?! Who isn’t stressed for time, with all the demands of work and family responsibilities? Sometimes it would be nice to take a mini-vacation, even for just a few minutes.

That’s why these Eight Easy Qigong Exercises are just right for you!

Could you use an exercise that is…

  • Easy to do
  • Easy to learn
  • Takes only 15 minutes or less
  • Anyone can do—regardless of what shape you’re in?

Of course you could!

In fact, this just could be the perfect exercise!

Also known as the Eight Pieces of Brocade and the Eight Silken Movements, these simple breathing and movement techniques have been practiced in China for hundreds (maybe even thousands) of years. No one knows for sure who first came up with them, but the fact that they work so well has kept them around for centuries.

Your family and co-workers will notice the change in you when you begin to move through your day with calm confidence.

Each of the eight exercise movements is believed to increase chi flow to certain areas of the body, and thereby improve health. The following chart shows the parts of the body benefited by the corresponding movements:

1. Pressing the Heavens

Heart, Lungs, Stomach, Liver

2. Drawing the Bow
