What is your inner medicine?
Qi is the inner medicine, see this article

How to begin making your own inner medicine?
The word qigong consists of two characters, qi and gong.
​
The meaning of the character for gong is
- cultivation
- develop skill

So in practicing qigong we develop the skills of working with qi.

There are three foundation skills that are developed with qigong practice, these are :

Discover, Gather and Circulate the Qi

Gather Qi
We used a qigong practice called "Return To Spring"

Return to Spring
  • Stand with your feet shoulder width apart
  • Hands placed on lower dantian held in a triangle, the tips of the thumbs touching and placed at navel level, the fingers pointed downwards, palms resting either side of the abdomen.
  • Inhale - lower abdomen expand and  imagine that the dantian, the area inside the triangle, is filled with qi.  Exhale - the abdomen relaxes.
  • Repeat for 9, 18, 27 etc. breaths.
  • Nice and easy, no pushing.

From the 5 Element Tuning Qigong Sequence
We  learned the Water & Wood movements.

What's the take away?
Please practice :)
