The Eight-brocade Exercise (Ba Duan Jin) with Herbal-Pal Narration for You to Actually Follow Along Daily! Please turn on CC for English subtitle. • The Eight-Brocade Exercise (Baduanjin) is primarily designated as a form of medical Qi Gong, meant to improve health. This classic Chinese Qi Gong exercise, consists of eight sections, was very popular among the ancient Chinese. The whole set of movements are fine and delicate with moderate intensity. The movements can vary greatly according to different schools of practice. • Most English versions online tend to illustrate it as a performance to watch, yet as Qi Gong practitioners ourselves, we at Herbal-Pal thought the best way to learn Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and any other exercise in the scope of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) or moving meditation from other cultures, is to practice yourself. It takes only 12 minutes a day, and can be practiced at almost any location, but with guided instruction and even breathing, you will be able to feel the Qi, or vital energy flowing. • “If you want to be healthy and live to 100, do Qi Gong.” • -Dr Oz on Oproha’s TV show • In fact, there were people who practice Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine living over 120 years old in Chinese history, Sun Simiao was only one of the many who were relatively more famous. • Eight Pieces of Brocade is a form of Qi Gong (a.k.a. qigong). • Many theories abound about the origin and development of the Eight Section Brocade Chi Kung. Ancient dances, medical theory, military drills and exercises, shamanistic rituals, and Buddhist and Taoist practices were all sources for the specific and formal movement routines of Dao-yin or Chi Kung (Qigong). The ancient terms for these types of Qigong or Chi Kung (energy/Qi/breath training) fitness exercises were Dao Yin (guiding, breathing and stretching) or Daoqi Yinti (guide the Qi and stretch the body) or Yang Sheng Fa (Longevity Practices). • Literature going back nearly 2,500 years reveals health and fitness exercise postures or routines, with some movements quite similar to movements in the Eight Section. • Use of calisthenics, stretching, and breathing exercises to maintain good health, fight disease, and enhance the quality of life has a long documented history in both India and China. Artwork, medical manuals, folklore, treatises, scriptures and reports on the subject go back over 2,500 years. Likewise, military physical conditioning techniques, and training with military weapons (bow, sword, staff, saber, knife, spear, etc.) are of comparable antiquity. • The Baduanjin as a whole is broken down into eight separate exercises, each focusing on a different physical area and qi meridian. The Baduanjin traditionally contains both a standing and seated set of eight postures each. The following is a short description: • The sections: • Ready Position • 1. Two Hands Hold up the Heavens to rectify the alignment through Triple Heater/Burner/Warmer (Sanjiao meridian) • 2. Drawing the bow to shoot a vulture (Left/Right) to extend the chest stretching horizontally • 3. Single lifting to regulate the qi cultivation in spleen and stomach • 4. Gazing backward to get rid of the five strains and seven damages • 5. Sway the Head and Shake the Tail • 6. Two Hands Hold the Feet to Strengthen the Kidney Systems and Waist • 7. Clench the Fists and Glare Fiercely • 8. Bouncing on the Toes to Support Healing of Diseases • Closing Position • Over 2,500 years the Eight Brocades form of gigong has inevitably morphed into many variations. Some refer to it as Baduanjin gigong. Most practioners believe the importance lies not the form itself, but the theory, guidelines, and principles that cement all of gigong to its simple roots. Ba duan jin translates to “Eight Pieces of Brocade,” or some version of “Eight Silken Movements” a series of eight sequential movements that are easy to remember because of “Marshal Yee Fei’s well-conceived form is the essence of gigong –simplicity and effectiveness. • Please subscribe to these YouTube channels: • Herbal-Pal: / @herbal-pal • Denti-Pal: / @denti-pal8268 • WeCare Holistic: / @wecareholistic (some contents are in Chinese) • and our informal blog: • http://YourWellnessWeCare.blogspot.com • http://Herbal-Pal.blogspot.com • #EightBrocades #EightPiecesofBrocade #EightSectionBrocade #EightSilkenMovements #EightSilkWeaving #QiGong #ChineseQiGong #BaDuanJin #TraditionalChineseMedicineExercise #ChineseMartialArts #Baduanjin #MovingMeditation #IndoorExercise #ExerciseAllAges • 中文版本八段錦請看： • 健身气功•八段锦•体育总局口令版 【八段錦】國家體育總局口令版 Eight...
