I&#8217;m certain I could easily write a book explaining why Qigong is so brilliant. But today I just want to share one particular aspect that you might not be familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a nutshell it&#8217;s that Qigong healing works on the ROOT and not the symptoms or the Branch. But what does this really mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"ose-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube ose-youtube-single-video aligncenter\">\n\t\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3iY0Z60Z7Tk?controls=1&#038;fs=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1\"\n\t\t        allowtransparency=\"true\"\n\t\t        allowfullscreen=\"true\"\n\t\t        frameborder=\"0\"\n\t\t        width=\"640\" height=\"360\">\n\t\t<\/iframe>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<p>When I say the Root I mean this is the main problem or cause and when I say Branch I mean the symptom or the result of the main problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) viewpoint on obesity is that it is caused by hormonal imbalance. Obesity is the symptom, or result of the main problem &#8211; hormonal imbalance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can go a level deeper here, because from the Qigong perspective the Root is always a problem of energy or a malfunction of harmonious energy flow due to blockages in the meridians of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now the really brilliant part of practicing Qigong exercises is that we do not need to know where these blockages are. We generate energy\/qi flow and then let go and <strong>LET<\/strong> the Qi flow to the area of low energy = where the blockage is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve placed emphasis on the word &#8216;<strong>LET<\/strong>&#8216; because too many students try to be smarter than their own Qi\/energy! Here&#8217;s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have pain in my knees, so when I generate Qi flow, instead of letting go and doing nothing, I try to be smarter. I focus on my knees (the symptom) &#8211; Qi\/energy flows where attention goes, so your Qi travels to your knees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 months later your knees are even more painful! What&#8217;s going on you may ask yourself. Well the answer is simple. Knee pain, is usually a symptom of a malfunction of energy with or to the Kidneys. i.e. knee pain is the Branch but the Kidneys are the Root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of <strong>LETTING<\/strong> your Qi travel to the Root, you have been moving it to the Branch! No wonder your knees haven&#8217;t got better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why I advise all my students to &#8216;Let go and enjoy their Qi flow&#8217;. It&#8217;s not a suggestion, it&#8217;s a vitally important instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst were on this subject, this brief exploration of Root and Branch raises another interesting reason why Qigong is so brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grand-daddy of all Root causes is a malfunction of energy or Yin\/Yang disharmony, which can manifest as a million and 1 different Branches or symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you practice Qigong correctly, i.e. you have the skill of Energy\/Qi flow and you can let go and do nothing during energy flow &#8211; then it doesn&#8217;t matter which of the 1000&#8217;s of different Qigong Exercises available you practice. As long as you have energy flow &#8211; that&#8217;s what is important for healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So why are there so many different Qigong Exercises? Well, let&#8217;s say you wanted to go to London, you could walk, you could ride a bike, you could drive a car, you could travel by plane. You would choose the best mode of transport based on your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so it is with Qigong Exercises, if you know that there is a problem with the Kidneys then it is more &#8216;cost effective&#8217; to practice <a title=\"Qigong Exercises: Reverse Hands Bend Waist\" href=\"https:\/\/qigong15.com\/exercises\/18-lohan-hands\/reverse-hands-bend-waist\/\">Reverse Hands Bend Waist<\/a> (a.k.a Nourishing Kidneys) than <a title=\"Qigong Exercises: Second Son Carrying Mountains\" href=\"https:\/\/qigong15.com\/exercises\/18-lohan-hands\/second-son-carrying-mountains\/\">Second Son Carrying Mountains<\/a>. Yes Carrying Mountains will still &#8216;solve&#8217; the cause, but probably not as quickly as Nourishing Kidneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you have diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, or any other &#8216;symptom&#8217;, the Root is Yin\/Yang disharmony (a malfunction of energy). Energy flow helps to restore harmony and if harmony can be restored fully then good health is the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I must go on record here as stating that <strong>Qigong is not capable of curing all illness<\/strong>. If an illness has been left treated for too long, or if the blockage is too severe, it may not be possible to fully restore Yin\/Yang harmony or harmonious energy flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Qigong healer will usually seek to treat the Root, but if the Branch is serious or life threatening then it may be necessary to treat the Branch first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bye for now<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcus James Santer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re familiar with any of my work you&#8217;ll know that I do go on a bit about how brilliant Qigong Healing is.
