This autumn and winter we are learning an ancient qigong routine called the Eight Pieces of Silk Brocade. It consists of 8 exercises which nourish the whole body and all the energy systems. Some of our class members have asked for a list of the exercises so they can practise at home.
Two Hands Lift the Heavens
Drawing the Bow
Separate Heaven and Earth
Wise Owl Gazes Backwards
Sway the Head, Shake the Tail
Two Hands Hold Feet
Puncing with Fiery Eyes
Bounce on the Heels
In between each exercise and at the end we practise Clearing the Qi.
There are many different variations of the 8 Brocades that you may come across, because it is a very ancient practice. This is the one I have learned from my teacher.
Happy practising!
