Master the 18-Movement Wuji Hundun Qigong 2022 – Daisy Lee

As your 9-week journey begins, Daisy will share the philosophy of flow using three foundational movements from Wuji Hundun Qigong.

You’ll learn to build self-trust and confidence in your body’s feedback through breathing and pausing, motion and stillness — and listening and observing both internally and externally.

You’ll be able to recognize old energetic patterns, releasing them gently as you grow new levels of self-awareness through the practice of Wuji Hundun Qigong.

In this opening module, you’ll:

• Learn skillful listening and observation to tune in to your body’s innate wisdom
• Discover how to modulate your breathing to manage chaotic frequencies
• Learn to do a daily scan of your body
• Support peace and balance using a silent meditation
• Learn how to extract multiple layers of healing from a single movement
• Develop presence and patience through deep listening

There’s an oft-quoted expression in Qigong: Yi Dao, Qi Dao or simply, “Where the mind goes, the Qi follows.”

As Daisy will explain, if your breath isn’t in the right place, your mind will lack clarity and decisiveness — making it much more difficult to effectively direct your Qi.

Everything starts with the breath, so learning to harness it and train in breathwork enhances the power of Wuji Hundun Qigong.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn to modify the breath during times of stress and times of rest, as directing the breath directs the Qi
• Build breath synchronization with the Wuji Hundun Qigong movements to create inner peace in your body, and outer elegance in the form
• Learn the Wong Ar Hong Meditation to direct Qi into the three dantiens of the body for enhanced health
• Discover the importance of the lower dantien in grounding, and the power of the breath in uplifting energy

There are many distractions in a day. How can you continue returning to your practice as your default — to establish currency in what you’ve learned?

As Daisy will share, building focus through breathwork and gentle strength training supports grounded presence, even in the midst of chaos.

Daisy will guide you to merge with the nurturing Yin Earth Qi and the Yang Heavenly Qi as you learn to Ride the Wuji Wind Horse — an extended meditation to build postural strength, balance, and stability that can transfer to other parts of our lives in meaningful ways.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• A standing (or sitting) Wuji meditation called Ride the Wuji Wind Horse to build strength and stability in the body
• How to increase focused awareness amidst chaos
• How to be present without excessive effort
• The Wuji Weeble — invoking vertical alignment when chaos enters
• How engaging the core builds patience and resilient strength

The human body requires dynamic tension to build elasticity and strength in the body’s organs, as well as the muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

This dynamic tension is achieved through the fascia, the thin casing of connective tissue (with nerves almost as sensitive as skin) that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place.

When stressed, fascia tightens and can cause pain — yet regularly practicing Wuji Hundun Qigong can help reduce the friction and increase easeful mobility.

Daisy will guide you to practice key movements that demonstrate this empowering aspect in Wuji Hundun Qigong.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• How to engage dynamic tension in the Wuji Hundun Qigong movements, using Rou, An, and Chai as examples
• The principles of Yin and Yang in an embodied way
• Ways to increase elasticity and vibrancy in the fascia
• Explore your range of motion to prevent and treat fascia projects
• Your choice of a 2-minute Wuji Movement you’ll practice three times a day — to keep the fascia mobile and supple

While it’s valuable to use your sense of sight to assess your form, especially early in your Qigong journey…

… engaging all five primary senses along with your intuitive sense can be even more helpful in learning and adapting Wuji Hundun Qigong to your unique body.

You’ll practice the full Wuji Hundun routine guided by Daisy, engaging the full spectrum of sensory perception and exploring subtle levels of awareness as you refine the physical movements in your body.

As you’ll discover, making small adjustments can alter how the form looks and feels — cultivating ease, comfort, and joy in your practice.

This is a transition from copying the form to being the form — as you introduce and play with deep attunement to all your senses.

In this module, you’ll explore:

• How to listen with your Lao Gong by activating a key healing point in the palms
• How to observe with owl eyes — using 360 vision to explore a broader perspective with the An and Kun movements
• Tuning your “sense of scents” — opening your olfactory awareness to mitigate fear, anxiety, or depression (as you explore Nature’s gifts or an essential oil to support relaxation or energy)
• A gum and teeth massage to enhance oral health
• The power of gentle touch to activate healing

Movements can flow like water, but it is structure that gives water direction and creates a path forward for ease and grace to grow in both our Qigong movements, and in how we manage the inevitable chaos that arises in life.

The blueprint for success in Wuji Hundun Qigong is to have sufficient structure, yet without being confined or limited by it. We will explore moving stances to coordinate with certain Wuji Hundun Qigong movements in this session.

In this module, you’ll discover:

• How to increase flowing balance by slowing down a movement
• How mindfully connecting the lower dantien to the Earth Qi helps anchor the body’s energy — creating greater stability when life is chaotic and moving fast
• How to roll with Rou — playing with the wild Wuji Ball, without losing connection in the lao gong points between the palms — while exploring moving stance work with the feet and legs
• The Showering Qi Meditation to cleanse and purify static or hyper energy from head to toes

Sometimes life’s pressure can cause us to give up altogether instead of simply being present with what is and acknowledging where we’re at.

Even for practitioners on the path of refinement, lowering unrealistic expectations increases fulfillment and quiets the chaos created by the pressure of unmet demands — for you, as well as those around you.

Daisy will guide you to focus on what you’d like to achieve in your practice, and work towards it, step by conscious step, one breath at a time, as you let the unnecessary fall away.

In this session, you’ll:

• Understand why returning to the beginner’s mind allows for deeper learning
• Learn why gentle inquiry is more effective than harboring punishing expectations for yourself and those around you
• Appreciate how untethering from unrealistic expectations leads to greater ease, inner peace, and improved creativity
• Practice the Wuji Hundun Qigong routine with relaxed intent and a pleasurable focus
• Ignite or re-ignite your passion for play by engaging a practice partner — your “partner” can be Nature, your pet, or a friend
