PRIMORDIAL Qigong

(Wu Ji Qigong)

I was taught this from Michael Winn

Stand facing EAST, the direction of sunrise (new beginnings). Open your heart to change. Inwardly smile or call to each of the 4 directions & above/below/center. Hold clear intention to return to the center of the universe, the center of your life, to be the point of balance in every perception arising in your present moment. Open yourself to being in "wu ji", the "supreme unknown", the primordial void. It is the Origin, Godhead, Primal Mother at the center of all sacred space. Ask to create your life from this space; accept that it will solve your problems & complete your life.

1. Breath (chi) of Earth Rises. Arms drift to chest level (palms down).

Breath of Heaven Descends. Arms sink down. Shift weight to Left foot - Form small chi ball, RIGHT palm below.

2. Yin/Yang separates to honor Yin. Look at R palm as Right arm, sweeps Right (palm up) Left palm presses left (palm down)

3. Yin/Yang separates to honor Yang. Look at L palm as Left arm, sweeps Left (palm up) Right palm presses right (palm down)

4. Circulate chi in orbit. Palms face each other, circle up to crown, out & down to perineum, back up to heart, extend out.

THIS 2nd "HANDS ON SIDES" MOVEMENT IS CUE FOR END OF EARTH CYCLE.

12. Gather chi from Center. Squat, keeping back straight. Both arms scoop up earth chi below, circle up to 3rd eye, "swallow" it down center line of body to dan tien (1.5 " below navel). Palm centers face body, aligned, not touching. Pause if attracted to any point on front of body. Breathe 3 times into chi ball inside the dan tien. Feel & visualize it as golden light expanding & condensing .

lst HEAVEN CYCLE

After the Earth Cycle, always turn to begin the Heaven cycle.

Turn from South to East. (BEFORE YOU TURN, REMEMBER THE DIRECTION YOU ARE LOOKING). This will be your CUE for the final direction of the upcoming Heaven cycle.

1. Pivot left, right arm sweeps high & wide from upper right corner to lower left corner, gathering chi from southeast comer as Right foot steps to face east.

2. Heaven & Earth Separate. Form chi ball at navel, (left over right) eyes follow Right hand as it rises to Heaven (upper right corner). Left hand presses down to earth (lower left corner).
