Philosophy of  Wild Goose Qigong

(Yang Meijun)

Relax-quiet-empty-nothingness

The yin and yang must be centred on the inside

Because Tao is the way and morality is as one

This is the way of the form

-Whilst practising the form, remember these thoughts:

Practice successful, practice succeeding

Practice relaxed, practice precisely

Practice relaxed, practice in emptiness

Practice form, practice intent in form

Receive in the mind, receive qi

Receive qi, receive power.

Let qi flow to the ten fingers and repeat

As qi flows the mind must accept

This is the way

The proper path leads to complete circulation

Circulate and circulate thoroughly

It will be easily achieved.

Dr Bingkun Hu has learnt many of these forms and meditations, he is based in the United States and has a good following in the UK.

'Yes, Wild Goose Qigong is the best medical Qigong I know of.  It is a safe and delightful approach to good health.  There are ample evidences to prove that practicing Wild Goose Qigong can make our body stronger, our mind sharper, and our mood happier. ' said Dr Hu.

Taoist and Buddhist Qigong

Wild Goose or 'Dayan' Qigong combines the principles of both Taoist and Buddhist qigong. Buddhist qigong contains movements that encourage the energy to move up and down the Central Channel, spreading the energy (qi) outwards and expanding it into a qi field.  Taoist qigong uses circular and spiral movements, creating Micro-cosmic Orbits to improve our circulation of qi and blood.

Wild Goose Qigong combines both these principles.

The Wild Goose System is a complete system for training the awareness and manipulation of energy. Beginners start with movements from the first 7 forms, which are predominantly yin. Forms 8-11 are more yang in nature and consist of martial elements that train emission and recovery of qi.

Wild Goose 1 has all the movements that are developed in 2-7 and is good basic training for these forms.

Wild Goose 2 uses the more advanced movements found in 8-11 and can be seen as good basic training for the more advanced forms.

This form opens the 12 meridians, rotates and moves all the joints in the body, bringing increased flexibility and co-ordination. It introduces the micro-cosmic orbit to circulate within our conception and governing vessels.

Practising Wild Goose 1 can

• Improve blood circulation
• Develope breathing and movement coordination.
• Increase body and mind flexibility.
• Cultivate sensitivity for feeling the qi inside and around our bodies.

The next 64 movements, WG2 is an indispensable training for body posture, movement-breathing-awareness coordination, the opening of the 14 main meridians, and the interaction between Qi circulation within the body and the Qi-field around it.

This form develops the upper and lower dantien. these are two of the main energy centres which are found just above the eyebrows towards the centre of the forehead (upper dantien or sky eye) and two inches below the navel towards the centre of the body (lower dantien). It trains our ability to not only take fresh energy but also get rid of sick qi, enabling us to detoxify and strengthen ourselves at the same time. Throughout its long history, Wild Goose 2 Qigong has proven effective for self healing, rejuvenation, improving cognitive functions and developing mental ability.

In the teaching and practise of WG2 students will cover:

• Shifting of body weight

This qigong trains the upper and lower body coordination through turning the palms and the natural left and right turn of the body effortlessly shifting the body weight. The bagua 'walking the circle' is meditative and self-fulfilling. Together with spiraling the palms it balances the yin and yang aspects of the body and promotes self-healing. it opens up the conception and governing vessels and nourishes our internal organs.

Wild Goose 3 (Kunlun Bagua)  will:

• Train body and mind coordination
• Develop core stability and body centeredness
• Open the Conception & Governing vessels
• Nourish the internal organs
• Balance Yin & Yang aspects of the body

For balance and co-ordination, smooths the qi.

Described as a rare qigong jewel which can be enjoyed by beginners as well as more advanced practitioners.Tripod and spiral is unique in providing a variety of training within one set of qigong movements, ranging from postures, relaxation,stretching, the free flow of qi, and finally achieving the microcosmic orbit. Practising this qigong will have multiple health benefits, which include boosting the immune system, improving cognitive functions, building inner strength as well as alleviating aches and pains.

.

Soft Palms is well known for its lively and ever-flowing lines of movement. It trains co-ordination, relaxation and agility in a most enjoyable way. Palms are relaxed and soft whilst moving arms and legs with a ‘centre-periphery’ gentle stretch. Before long you feel radiating warmth all over the body, including your fingers and toes.

Learn to pat along the 12 meridian lines in a specific order and specific directions combined with walking the Kunlun Bagua steps. Practitioners are able to open their crown and ‘bubbling spring’ acu-points, relax, detoxify and nourish the internal organs.

This qigong will:

• Un-block stagnant Qi in the 12 meridians
• Improve one’s Qi & blood circulation
• Open the crown (bai-hui) & the bottom of the feet (K-1)
• Disperse sickly Qi, & detoxify
• Prevents any possible Qigong deviation

This form stretches the spine and opens the governing vessel. It uses the chinese figue eight to relax the entire waist and the hips, especially the huantao acu point (Gall Bladder 30) together with bagua steps.

• Stretch & elongate the spine
• Open the Governing vessel, crown chakra, & Bubbling Spring points on the feet
• Effectively train body coordination & shifting of body weight
• Benefit neck, shoulder, spine & knee health

Wild Goose 8 is the first of the more advanced forms. It introduces martial elements to help release qi to the periphery. We learn to take the movements of WG2 to a deeper level.

 In this advanced form we learn  to open the meridians, mix our qi with heaven and earth energies (hun yun qi) and start making the coveted inner elixir.

• Open up the 14 main meridians for better circulation of Qi
• Regulate Qi to rise from feet to the crown through walking the circle in Bagua steps
• Learn how to purify one’s Qi
• Cultivate one’s Qi sensitivity
• Learn how to mix one’s Qi with the earth & heaven energy
• Start the “inner elixir” training process, by picking up the “medicine” from the earth

Wild Goose 11 is an advanced qigong in the Wild Goose system. Combining mudras, mantras, and Bagua steps with easy-flowing movements, this qigong is designed to have a calming-down effect.  With proper guidance, this qigong can induce the qi to circulate not only inside our body, but also go beyond our body to be connected with the heaven and earth energy.

Since human qi consists of both energy and information, this mixing of the human qi with the universe energy and consciousness make it possible for this qigong to not only promote our physical and mental health, but also unravel and cultivate our human potential.

In other words, this Self-Cultivation Qigong is designed to self-cultivate a variety of “functions” we human beings are supposed to posses. They include:

1. To develop a healthy immune system in our body, which helps prevent certain diseases as well as self-heal.
2. To train an active and alert mind - which includes improving one’s memory and increasing one’s neuron synapses.To unravel human potentiality - To cultivate qigong special abilities, such as: to be connected with the energy of the universe.
3. To be able to interpret the information we received from far, far away (tian-yan-kai - “to be able to “see” through one’s third eye), etc.
