About Spring Forest Qigong
“Spring Forest Qigong is a practice of simple movements, mental focus, breathing and meditation. In creating Spring Forest Qigong, Chunyi Lin has blended these together into a system that is so simple yet so very powerful that thousands of students have found the practice life changing.”
The vision of Chunyi Lin Spring Forest Qigong creater is “a healer in every family and a world without pain.”
“There are 12 primary meridians in your body and 8 `extraordinary` or `reservoir` channels, as well as other energy pathways. Two of the extraordinary channels are believed to be the most important. Both start at the `lower dantian,` an important energy center that is deep in behind your navel. One basically goes up the center of the front of your body and stops at the bottom of your mouth, and the other runs down to the bottom of your body, up your spine, over your head, and stops at the roof of your mouth. From the 12 primary meridians, energy travels through your limbs and torso to your organs.”
“Blockages can occur from three common lifestyles 1.) sitting at a keyboard all day, 2.) Being on your feet a lot and 3.) Doing physically strenuous labor. Spring Forest Qigong can open energy blockages. Imagine a river being blocked and the natural flow of water is blocked. Opening up blockages in your body restores the natural flow of energy.
