Individual Sets: $4.95

Qigong Set 8 of the Bodymind Healing Qigong's ten sets. As one representative of the many types of spiritual Qigong practices in the picture above you can see"Beating the Heavenly Drums."

This set comes from a secret Taoist Alchemy practice.Unlike other spiritual traditions that emphasize opening the chakras, the Taoist tradition emphasizes having access to the opening and closing of the energy gates to the body, i.e. metaphorically speaking, having a flexible, oiled hinge. In the practice of Beating the Heavenly Drum we seal the ears and eyes and then open them. The closing of these sensory gates helps to gather Qi there, and the opening of them helps us to appreciate the world as it is, as an arena of marvels, full of wonder, awe, and mystery. Ah, what bliss to be alive!
