Meditation is training purely for the mind. Students sit with their legs crossed,
their back and neck straight and eyes closed. Bring your palms together,
holding them on your lap, just below the navel. Students should focus on
their breathing, inhaling and exhaling slowly through the nose. The breaths
themselves should be regular and quiet. When you catch your mind
wandering to other thoughts, you should it back to concentrate on counting
these breaths.

in China. The set comprises gentle movements which provide energy as well
as strength and flexibility for the body. Qi Gong is often described as
‘moving meditation’ or indeed Chinese yoga. The practitioner must
concentrate his mind on slowly moving through a routine of different stances.
These movements are graceful and controlled. Each stance is held for series
of breaths, while the mind concentrates its energy through the posture taken
with the body. Inhaling and exhaling through the nose, the body’s muscles
should relax completely while the mind focuses this energy.
In the Shaolin Temple this is the first form of Qi Gong that students learn and
study, this tradition of learning Ba Duan Jing first goes back over 800 years.
After years of practice the benefits become obvious and one feels energetic,
healthy and rarely succumbs to illness.
