Learning yigong

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

 

Does anyone know how I can learn Sifu Jenny Lamb's Yigong level 1? I have bought the course on her website but I haven't received any download and I have written to them via the contact form, but haven't gotten any reply.

 

Hope someone can help.

 

All the best

I vaguely remember she might have retired from any activity.

Max Christiansen’s Kunlun  book describes essentially the same procedure (sitting in a chair on a rubber mat with a mudra with some breath awareness exercises to calm you). It’s available as a free pdf online if you search a bit.  I learned it initially from the free  Kunlun pdf and later bought Jenny’s video to see if I was missing anything - her video also has some other more conventional qi gong on it. Yi gong/kunlun  triggers  zi fa gong  (spontaneous movement) from freed up yang qi which is interesting but not particularly profound (more of a natural body process than a spiritual one). It does make one more aware of ones own qi movement which can be quite helpful in further cultivation. However it’s  not just this Yi Gong mudra that generates zifagong. Many qi gong practices can and do including the standing static postures like wuji, Taiyi, zhang Zhuang and others.

I personally don´t worry about the rubber mat or even the mudra.  I just sit on a chair, lift my heels up so just the balls of my feet are on the floor, and let the movement happen.  The important thing, I think, is just to allow oneself to be spontaneous rather than trying to control the movement (or lack of movement) in any way and to maintain awareness of what´s happening.  That´s it.  Sit afterwards on the floor in stillness to allow everything to integrate.

Thank you both!

 

I have learned kunlun from Max' book, but wanted to see if Sifu Jenny's instruction was the same. It sounds like it, so thank for clearing that up.

 

It is not particularly profound, though? Are you able to expand a bit on that? 

 

I read on Jenny's website that all most people need is level one yigong and that it would open all the channels eventually, but I would love to hear what your experience with it is.
