Without them you&#8217;re doing gentle exercise&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So what are these 3 core skills that hardly anybody knows about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Entering a QSOM \u2014 think of it as a higher state of consciousness. It&#8217;s about being relaxed and focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen if you can&#8217;t relax, you can&#8217;t do qigong. Even though many people start practicing qigong to be able to relax, and that&#8217;s a really good reason by the way, relaxation is just the start of qigong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enter a QSOM you have to be able to relax physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Energy Flow \u2014 more poetically known as &#8216;flowing breeze, swaying willows&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is one of the most closely guarded, jealously kept secrets of qigong and that&#8217;s a real shame because energy flow is what makes qigong such a powerful tool for health and vitality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If energy flow is not part of your qigong practice then you&#8217;re missing out on at least 75% of the benefits of qigong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) Standing meditation \u2014 this helps to consolidate your practice and that&#8217;s all I want to say about it here, otherwise we&#8217;d be here for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously if these 3 core skills are not part of your daily qigong practice all you&#8217;re doing is low level exercise and if that&#8217;s what you want to do you might as well do the washing up, because at least you&#8217;re getting something useful done at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re practicing medicinal qigong, dynamic qigong, qigong for marital arts, or super hardcore qigong like small or big universe, you need to be practicing the 3 core skills of qigong to gain maximum benefit from the time and effort you invest in your practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not you&#8217;re leaving most of the goodness of qigong on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 22 week Qigong Secrets Home study course I cover these 3 core skills in great detail \u2014 but the truth is, the best way to learn these vital core skills of qigong is directly from me or from a teacher who knows and practices them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Qigong is an art it is the skills that are important. Certainly more important than the number of qigong exercises you know. It is mastery of these 3 core skills that allows you to get more benefits in just 15 minutes of daily practice than most qigong practitioners, worldwide, get in an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are that important and <a href=\"https:\/\/enjoyqigong.com\" title=\"Qigong Secrets Home Study Course\" rel=\"noopener\">you can start developing them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bye for now&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcus James Santer<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Give me 3 minutes and I&#8217;ll explain why 98% of Qigong practitioners are wasting their time&#8230; Remember, Qigong is the art of deliberately managing your vital energy or Chi\/Qi.
