We practice exercises of many kinds: from stretching techniques (LaJin) to deep Qi exercises, from Paida (kind of self-massage) to meditation, from principles of traditional wisdom to techniques of Qigong doable during the daily life. Every practice is unique, a mix of techniques adapted to the practitioners and to the weather conditions, environment, time.

Generally, the practice I lead consists of three parts:

1st part: is dedicated to stretching, making meridians and muscles long and open. This is so necessary. No qi can flow in still muscles, in tense tendons and in meridians that are closed. Therefore, several techniques for warming up the body and make it flexible are very important and they are not only propaedeutic to the practice, but also are already a real practice. Consider for example the millennial tradition of yoga that gives so much importance to stretch and open the body.

2nd part: is dedicated to “typical“ qigong exercises: collecting the Qi, handling it and making it grow and refined. Classical series of Brocades, Yi Jin Jing, and other classical or recently formed techniques are performed. Prepared by the previous extension of tendons (La Jin), the body is now able to feel the energy and to “play” with it. Exercises can be from easy to a little more demanding from a physical point of view. They are made in an atmosphere of concertation and sensibility, providing a deep inner and outer balance and Qi development. A real deep sense of pleasure, an experience of elevating our frequencies to a higher range.

3rd part: Paida. Slapping or hitting the body with our own fingers, fists, knuckles, and so on, gives an incredible boast of energy, enhancing the physical efficiency of the body and the clearness of mind. Paida works also on an emotional level, by freeing the meridians that are all connected to some specific emotions, traumas, aspects of the personality. Stimulating the body in this way, will bring to a real regeneration and rejuvenation of the practitioner.
