The word “form” in this context refers to a collection of qigong movements that together are the components of a set routine or (pardon the redundancy) “form”. Each of these collections (forms) has a different purpose and series of movements that define it. Throughout the centuries of qigong (daoyin) evolution, many forms have been created. In fact, there are so many, we do not know them all, or know of any one person in the world who does! But, that, in and of itself, makes the practice even more exhilarating.
Qigong Forms Courses (notice the capital letters) are an exciting way to get introduced to the benefits of a personal Qigong practice, or as an addition to your current practice. These are learning modules that are focused on learning a very specific set of qigong exercises or movements. Each form is unique, it is like a shiny new vehicle which happens to have its own “road map” to adventure. We have developed each course to introduce you to that vehicle and take you step by step through a very unique “test drive”. Naturally, once you’ve learned the basics, we expect you’ll begin exploring everything your newly discovered vehicle can do!
Our courses have been designed to open up the profound essence of what each form has to offer and encourages you towards a long term and consistent practice. The Rising Lotus Qigong feels that if you know what it “looks like” and know where your headed, then you have the keys to unlocking a lifetime of knowledge and benefit within your practice.
