Yesterday I wrote about a DVD that opened my eyes to qigong. It was called Chi Kung for Health, Six Seated Meditations.
I really liked this DVD. I liked it so much that I still have it, and when you go through Netflix DVDs at the rate I do, that's a pretty high accolade. I've done each of the meditations twice now, and hope to do them one more time before I return it.
The host is Terence Dunn, a mildly awkward host, but he basically just takes you through the movements (all upper body, and felt a lot like tai chi movements), guides you through a breath pattern, and then takes you through the routine several times for each pattern. He suggests that you memorize the patterns and do them on your own for several more repetitions, but I haven't memorized them yet.
Anyway, I'm excited about qigong now as a meditation option. This DVD didn't tell me much about what qigong is or what its real purpose is, but I'm sure I'll learn that as I go through more DVDs.
