Autumn Qigong

Preparing for healing in the
season for lungs, immune system
by strengthening the breath

Autumn Qi Gong is the Time of the Lungs & Immune System
  • Autumn changes from the heat of summer to the cooling time and also preparation for winter.
  • Autumn Qi Gong focuses on strengthening the lungs through breathing exercises and activation movements to help support the Immune System and protect the body.
  • Strengthening the diaphragm allows more air to be inhaled and exhaled.
  • Most important work for the student is to learn to focus and create calm in the Jing (the body), Qi (the Lifeforce within and around us) and Shen (also known as the mind also Spirit)

The Vagus Nerve
  • Vagus Nerve is the “rest & digest” system in the body.
  • The Vagus Nerve is a part of the Parasympathetic System.
  • The Parasympathetic Nervous System is attached to the Subconscious Mind or the Quantum Field.
  • Through relaxation we create more positive outcomes.
  • The Vagus Nerve is activated by the breath. It is a specific breath.

All emotions are influenced by the breath
and Breath is influenced by thoughts

Our thoughts create our emotions
  • When we are stressed, angry or any other difficult emotion, our bodies go into the Sympathetic or Survival Mode. Our breath becomes shallow or unrhythmic. Each difficult emotion has a distinct breathing patten.
  • Grief: Shallow exhales/Deep inhales.
  • Anger: Deep exhales/Shallow inhales
  • Fear/Anxiety: Shallow exhales/Shallow inhales
  • Breathing is the key to helping activate release from difficult emotions.
  • Exhaling through mouth signals the body to relax and let go.
  • Exhaling through the nose signals the body to cultivate or strengthen the Qi.
