Hello Alex Hui here. In this video I'll be showing you a Qi Gong exercise routine
that can help you to boost your immune system. Now this routine is simple
effective, short, easy to learn and it requires minimum space. Now before we
begin let's go to the bathroom if you need to, drink some warm water and I'll
see you in one minute. Before we begin, let's talk what is Qi Gong. "Qi" means
"energy" and "Gong" means "to cultivate or to work". So Qi Gong means cultivating your
energy and it is a type of exercise that can strengthen your body, enhancing your
balance and boosting your immune system. So let's start. Alright the first
exercise that we're gonna do is "Sinking the Qi and Cleansing your Organs". So let
me demonstrate the movement.
Now you can follow along. Raise your arms, lower your arms. So when you raise your
arms, breathe in; lower your arms, breathe out. breathe in, breathe out.
Now when you breathe in, imagine all the bad energy, any negative energy in your
head, when you breathe out, sink it down. Cleanse your organs through your body,
through your feet, out of your feet to the ground. So let's do it again.
Breathe in, all the negative energy press it down, cleanse your organs,
through your feet and then push it out of your body. So breathe in, breathe out
breathe in, breathe out.
Now the second exercise is "Opening the Sky". So what you're gonna do is relax
breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in - open your arms
breathe out - relax. Breathe in - open your arms, breathe out - relax. Now these two movements you
have to do it in the right order because the first exercise you get rid of the
negative energy and the second exercise you breathe in so that the nice and
clean energy goes in. So now we're gonna do four "Flapping Exercises". "Flapping
Exercise" means you move your arms so that it hits a certain pressure point so
that it can unblock your meridians and unblock your energy. The first one is
"Unblocking the Kidney". So what you're gonna do is you're gonna turn, you're gonna use
the back of your fist and then hitting the back right here. So where exactly
should you be hitting. Belly button - all the way back, and then a little bit left
and right of that point. So what you're going to do is you're gonna turn
and then hit that point.
So let me show you from this angle. You see that my foot is lifting up
Now you can do 24 times, 12 times each side. Now the second one is
"Flapping the Lung Meridian". So what you're gonna do is you're gonna use your
hand right here you see this muscle right here, between the red and the white border
there is a point right here that is called "Yu Ji" in Chinese, which is a pressure point
of the lung meridian. So you're gonna hit this right here. so I'm gonna show a
picture here and what you're gonna see it's a pressure point and make sure when
you flap, don't flap your chest but flap the pressure point which is close to
your shoulder right here. So let me demonstrate
When you breathe in right now you should feel really relaxed and you should feel
refreshed. So the third exercise that I'm gonna
show you is called "Flapping the Da Zhui". Da Zhui is a pressure point at the back of your
neck, so when you touch right here you can feel there's a big vertebrae (C7) so it is
right below that big vertebrae and it can help you to boost your immune system
because that is a pressure point where all the "Yang Meridians" connect. So let me
show you from the back. So when you turn right, your right hand goes up back and then
your left touch your scapula. So turn. When you turn right, right hand goes
to the back of your neck, left behind the scapula. Turn left, left hand raises up
right, right here. Alright the last "Flapping Exercise" that I'm gonna show
you is "Hitting the Gallbladder Meridian". The gallbladder Meridian starts in
the head right here and goes all the way down at the side of your thighs. So what
you're gonna do is do a big circle, out. So once you draw a circle and once
your hand goes out you have to lift your heels up and then relax and
then when it relaxes your hand just flaps onto the side of your thighs. So
let me show you again.
Now once your hand goes out you breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. So now we're gonna do four "Twisting Qi
Gongs". So "Twisting Qigong" are practicing your joints and making sure all the
energy is flowing through the joints. So the first one is "Twisting the Wrist". So
let me demonstrate.
So as you see my fingers are twisting towards the camera. So up down up down .
The upper circle I breathe in, the lower circle I breathe out. So breathe in
breathe out, breathe in, breathe out breathe in, breathe out. Now note that
when I turn, I'm not just turning my wrist like this. What I'm doing is I'm
using my core to turn and the core leads the shoulder, the shoulder leads the wrist.
So here's how it looks like. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. Now
let's reverse. Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in,
breathe out.
Now the second exercise is the shoulder. So same up, upper circle - breathe in, lower
circle - breathe out. So breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out.
Note that, same, I'm not just moving my arms, but what I'm doing is I'm using my
core to turn and it leads to shoulder to turn. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in
breathe out, Now reverse. Breathe in, breathe out.
Now other side, breathe in, breathe out.
Now turn.
Next we're gonna twist the waist. So twisting up, down, up, down. So when you're
up - breathe in, when you're down - breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. When you're
doing this exercise, make sure you do it according to your ability or flexibility
you don't have to go too low or too back. What you can do is if you're not as
flexible, this is definitely fine. So however, what I want you to do though
is your elbows are behind your head. So let's do it from this angle. So when I do
this, elbows behind the head.
If you do this you'll feel a big nice stretch at your back.
So reverse. Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. Next we're going
to twist the hip. So put your hands on your hips like this and then breathe in
breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. So when you're doing this make sure that
you, your focus is on the hip joint and make sure the joints are moving.
So other side as well.
Okay two more exercises and that's it. So the last two exercises are the ending
exercises. So what you're going to do is put your hands together and then you're going to
rub it and make sure you feel the heat. Now I feel it, and you can rub it for
about thirty six times and then what you can do is you can comb your hair like
this. There are many meridians on the top of your head so when you do this you could
unblock the meridian and make the energy flow. So from the top you can all
the way, do it to the side. Now that's it for this simple Qi Gong exercise, so you
should feel relaxed and refreshed right now. So this video right here is the
instructional video and tomorrow I'm gonna post another version which is the
full routine without me talking so that you can follow along. Thanks for watching
today. If you have any questions regarding the movements, post it in the
comment section below and I'll see you in the next video.
