Ling Gui Qigong & Sleeping Buddha with Master Liu He – Seattle

Ling Gui Qigong & Sleeping Buddha

Ling Gui Qigong:  In China, the turtle is revered for the slow, gentle breathing and calm movements that contribute to the turtle’s very long life and honored for its deep connection with the universe and fundamentally spiritual nature.  Ling Gui or “Spiritual Turtle” Qigong strengthens the kidney functions that are so important to overall health and, in addition, guards against and soothes arthritis.  A standing form, Ling Gui Qigong combines slow, careful movements with energetic stretching, movements that can help increase resistance to the wind, cold, and dampness of the season.

Sleeping Buddha Qigong: According to Taoist philosophy, a restless heart can disrupt the “shen” or spirit, causing an imbalance of the nervous system, causing loss of sleep. With Sleeping Buddha Qigong the main goal is to counteract insomnia by imitating the gesticulations of Maitreya Buddha. “His big belly can house the affairs of the world. When he opens his mouth it is to laugh and his laugh spreads to all the people of the earth.” Dr. Liu Dong was inspired by this philosophy in designing this series of exercises. By stretching the four members and massaging some specific points the practitioner provokes a deep yawn, thus nourishing the heart, calming the spirit and allowing for a nourishing and restful sleep.
