Film Overview

Wild Goose Qigong 9 or Chest Opening Aromatic Qigong, is an advanced Qigong in the Wild Goose system. Practicing This Qigong allows you to open up all your meridians, to mix your own Qi with the energy of the sky and Earth (hun yun Qi), and to start making the coveted "inner elixir."

Two specific techniques make this training possible: Defined movements are used to generate the circulation of Qi to the open chest area, and the olfactory sensation of an aroma, real or imaginary, is used as a catalyst for further quieting and relaxing your mind and body. This allows the Qi to move easily and smoothly inside and outside the body.

Simply speaking, WG-9 offers the following basic trainings:

How to open up the 14 main meridians, so that we can have better qi circulation inside the body.
How to move the qi beyond the contour of the body, get rid of the stagnant and dirty qi, and absorb fresh energy from earth and heaven.
How to mix our original qi with the energy from earth and sky to make the hun-yuan-qi (mixed qi, or the cleaner qi required for forging the coveted "inner elixir").

In order to achieve these goals, it is important to fully understand the underlying specific techniques included in Wild Goose-9:

* Locate and open up the 6 "qi passages" in the body. These "passages" are connected to the chest center, left chest, right chest, upper back, lower dan- tian, and "Gate of Life".
Using "fragrance" as a catalyst to help open up the chest area and "qi passages". (Remember that "fragrance" can stimulate the para-sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system ).
Using "walking the circle in Bagua steps" to regulate the qi to go up, from the feet to the crown.
Using specific movements-breathing-awareness coordination to gather "medicine" from the earth.

Practicing the Qigong also has the benefit of immensely increasing sensitivity to Qi, thus improving ones ability to absorb the fresh energy from outside and get rid of dirty Qi.
