Taichi & Qigong For Lungs & Immunity
According to TCM, our immunity is the best weapon against any sickness. Thus, one of its major approach is to create the proper environment for the body to boost its own immunity, so that the patients can heal themselves naturally. Wei Qi which is related to our lungs is our first defence against pathogens, toxins, and harmful conditions. As the global pandemic happens more and more often, it is very important to maintain strong immunity and wei qi to protect ourselves. In this program will learn various techniques to benefit the lung and immunity.
As this program is getting created, the COVID-19 epidemic is spreading around the world, and so far there is no effective cure for this new virus that cause pneumonia. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), your best weapon against this kind of outbreak is your own immunity.
If you look at the statistics coming from China, you can understand how important it is to have a strong immunity. Most of those who died from this virus were over 60 and/or had pre-existing conditions which compromised health. One’s immunity often decreases with age and those who have underlying health issues. Some people who are infected with the virus show no or very mild symptoms, and don’t get sick. Their body’s immune systems successfully deal with the virus. In addition, data shows that recovery rates improved after TCM doctors were invited to participate in healing, where previously they had only relied on Western medicine to treat COVID-19.
TCM focuses on prevention. In terms of treatment, one of its major emphasis is to create the proper environment for the body to boost its own immunity, so that the patients can heal themselves naturally. This approach has been successful in healing even serious conditions such as cancer. Thus, you should maintain a good immune system even when the current epidemic is over. Especially since these epidemics are happening more and more often: SARS in 2002 (10% mortality rate), H1N1 in 2009 which may have killed half a million people worldwide, MERS in 2012, and now the COVID-19.
In terms of Tai Chi and Qigong, besides the immunity, we also talk about Wei Qi. ‘Wei’ means protection. Wei Qi travels on our skin, surrounding our physical body like a protective shield, and flows into the body. It is our first defence against pathogens, toxins, and harmful conditions. When our Wei Qi becomes weak, these ‘bad’ things can penetrate our body causing imbalance or disease. Once the shield is breached, our immune system takes over the battle.
Generally speaking, by practicing any Tai Chi or Qigong our Wei Qi expands, thickens, and becomes stronger which gives us better protection. Our body’s immunity also improves at the same time. Yet, there are specific techniques that focus on strengthening these areas. Wei Qi is related to our lungs. When our lungs are resilient and healthy, our Wei Qi will naturally be strong as well. Therefore, in this program, various practices including breathing techniques, standing, and moving qigong, as well as sound healing, massage, acupressure and energy guiding techniques that are especially good for our lungs, Wei Qi and immunity are introduced.
The aim of this course is to provide practical advice and exercises for you to strengthen these by yourself. When our lungs get stronger, the conditions of many chronic respiratory diseases like asthma, bronchitis will naturally improve. According to TCM the lungs are also strongly associated with the large intestine, so some of these practices are also good for those suffering from constipation. As a bonus, you will also learn the popular 312 meridians method in this program which is very good at improving and maintaining your overall health.
