The Zhineng Qigong practice is more than just movement, it goes beyond the physical aspect and has the intention of mindful creation. In today's Qigong podcast, Oliver Rijcken discusses how visualisation plays a critical role in manifesting our inner desires.
Manifestation is a natural consequence of our intentions being aligned with the Qi Field. In Qigong the Qi field is the foundation whereby information is fed. This information could be about health and wellbeing or about dreams and goals. It's important when practicing Qigong is to use visualization techniques. This will set an intention and an outcome of your inner hopes.
Once you reach a particular goal, it's important to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements. However big or small, Olivier says they are all significant. Adopting a mindset of gratitude in Qigong is also very important. Being grateful for the achievement and for help you might've received along the way. It's not a moment to inflate ego, as ego is quite the opposite mindset in Qigong, but more to have a positive feedback loop between intention and outcome - similarly to that of the "opening" and "closing" metaphor in the La Qi method. Thankfulness extends to Qigong practitioners, Qigong and fellow Qigong students (sometimes even our true selves) acknowledging the collective vital life force energy that fuels progress within Qigong or in many cases the Qi field.
Along with celebrating the wins in Qigong, stillness is also important. It's a moment to reflect on what has been achieved and what new creative ideas can emerge. It's also a moment to rest as it seems like life today is always about the chase and "the next big thing". In Qigong it's a reminder that personal development is a marathon not a sprint, it fosters a balance between thing that have been achieved and things to come - oneness: a key aspect of Zhineng Qigong.
