Tian Yuan
First Method of Yuan Gong
Heavenly Yuan Gong
Tian Yuan, or 'Heavenly Qigong', teaches you how to gather Qi from the universe for self-healing. It is very calming and re-energizing at the same time. It is easy to learn, and once learned properly, you literally have it to use for the rest of your life - like a fine wine, it gets better with time.
Tian Yuan 'Heavenly' Method
Tian Yuan, also known as 'heavenly Qigong' (because we gather Qi from the 'heavens') or 'flying Qigong' (due to the arm movements which mimic a bird flying in the sky), is the first method in the 9 level Yuan Gong system.Ā Tian Yuan is very pleasant to practice; it is like a joyous meditation in motion - flying in freedom.
When practising Tian Yuan, we use the mind with physical movements to achieve a strong exchange of Qi with the universe - ie, we gather Qi from an infinite supply in the universe and bring it back into our body, where it can be used to replenish lost energy reserves and heal th body. During the practice the body, mind and Qi become connected at a deep level, allowing the state to become calm, relaxed and harmonious.
Tian Yuan is simple to learn. A short 3 or 6 hour course is sufficient to enable you to start to a practice which you can then hone for the rest of your life.Ā
When learning any Yuan Gong method it is essential to learn properly the first time, so that bad habits are avoided. Tian Yuan includes both comprehensive theory and practice when taught.Ā
Benefits of Tian Yuan Heavenly Qigong
- Tian YuanĀ helps to clear Qi (energy) blockages in the body, especially in areas such as the shoulders and neck where most people have blockages due to stress.
- All Yuan Gong methods - including Tian Yuan - allow one to experience a deep state of inner stillness and calm, which in Yuan Gong we call a 'calm, relaxed, natural state' - the state is 'natural' because it IS our natural state to be calm in both mind and body (although this is not the case for most people in their daily lives). By practising Tian Yuan you will start to experience more calmness in your everyday life, where previously you might have become stressed.Ā
- Through restoring this natural, calm, relaxed state, the self-healing abilities of the body are set into motion, helping to heal whatever needs healing at a mind-body level.
Continuous practice of Tian Yuan improves health and also lays the foundation for further Yuan Qigong learning.
