IMPORTANT WARNING:
Unless you are already well versed in Qi Gong, even if you can perform these 8 sets of movements correctly, if you do not include the internal dimensions of mind and energy in the training, you will only get the benefits of physical exercise. The videos, therefore, are not intended for self-practice, but to satisfy curiosity, and perhaps as a means of preserving for future generations what the 8 Pieces of Brocade (Ba Duan Jin) look like.
You would be wrong if you think that the dimensions of mind and energy are not explained here because we want to keep them secret. Even if we explain them here, many people may not believe the explanation. Even if they believe it and follow the instructions, they may not get the desired result. Worse, and this is one of the main reasons why many masters "keep the secrets", practicing advanced Qi Gong without the supervision of a master may bring serious adverse effects.
You will appreciate the warning better if you remember that what is at stake is mind and energy, the two most powerful things in the world. As an analogy, learning to swim or drive a car is safe with proper supervision. But one would not, and should not, go swimming or driving simply after reading some swimming or driving instructions.
VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
The 8 pieces of brocade or Ba Duan Jin are one of the most popular sets of Chi Kung. Also called the 8 Jewels of Chi Kung because of the incalculable value they have for the student who practices them. However, they must be practiced as Genuine Chi Kung. That is, incorporating the aspects of energy and mind in our training.
It is also known as Taoist Chi Kung and is a very effective form of Chi Kung. It is especially focused on cultivating health and vitality.
Because of its long history, there are many versions of the 8 Pieces of Brocade (Ba Duan Jin) being taught today. This video shows the 8 Pieces of Brocade (Ba Duan Jin) taught at the Shaolin Wahnam Institute ( shaolin.org/ ).
Unfortunately, about 80% of practitioners in the world today are not practicing authentic Qigong. They only practice the external form but do not integrate the elements of energy and mind into their practice.
Without integrating energy and mind into the practice we cannot say that we are doing Chi Kung. These 3 aspects are called the 3 Treasures of a human being. That is, the form, the energy and the mind. Or in Chinese the Jing, Chi and Shen.
I am often surprised that many Chi Kung practitioners do not believe in energy or have never experienced energy even after many years of practice.
The word Chi Kung literally means "The Art of Energy". Therefore, if we do not work on the energy aspect, we cannot say that we are doing Chi Kung.
