I love how you explain --and then show -- everything so clearly. Even your wording helps make qigong feel like something we can all try, rather than a mystical practice with weird names. Energy flow makes sense -- and so does all the rest of it. Plus, I can feel the benefits after just a few weeks of regular practice. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge here. Your humor and steady voice are also calming and helpful.
this video is just a blessing! infinite gratitude to u sensei! i practise dan tien exercise every day since two weeks and i can tell u my life is positively improving ! it s years i pracitce qi gong , heakthy life style and so on ..... but now dan tien is balanced and my life is not the same ! thank you one million times . good karma to u indeed . aleksandra , middle of nowhere france
Jeffery you are awesome! I love how you explain the movements & what it is for. I am a ChiRunning & ChiWalking Instructor & we talk about the Dantien & how we need to pay attention to our lower abdominals our Dantien to keep it engaged while keeping our arm , legs , shoulders, fists etc relaxed ...it was so funny to see that runner in the background as you explained as it was very fitting in my practice of ChiRunning & you explaining about the benefits of Dantien breathing....Thank you once again Jeff! You inspire! 🙏🏼
the other exercises didn't work ,practicing dayly for two months ,now : playing with water ,tiger emerging ,for a calm and clear mind , etc... Now i know why ! It must be because i have a very low Dan Tian energy . So i must do the Dan Tian building practices first . Hope This IS HELPFULL for other people ,looking for relief . Greetings from Belgium .
This one is powerful and a real favorite. I love how it energizers, relaxes and picks me up when needed, a favorite to keep in my pocket, thanks so much Jeff!
Thank you for this video! I just started doing the Dan Tien breathing routine along with you and am enjoying it. I lreally like the natural beauty in the background and the sound of the birds. This gives me a nice peaceful little space in my day.
I practice dan ping (or tan pin cantonese), meaning "the pill of immortality". It clears the head and develops heat in dan tien. Instead if "hug the tree" position one needs to make a hook hand position with one hand and cover the hook from outside with open palm of other hand, making a circle at the height of the eyes. Middle point if middle finger of the open palm must touch the pulse at the wrists of the hand in hook position. You hold that position looking at that pulse point for as long as you can.
Thank for the breathing technique. Does it matter if you exhale through your nose versus your mouth? On the inhale, do you want the sensation of your lower belly to rise and then on the exhale for the lower dantian area to come in?
Jeff, you really convey knowledge and trust, your explanations and videos are wonderful. Thanks for sharing, an embrace from Guadalajara, Mexico - land of tequila and mariachi music.
Can you tell me the correct way of breathing in and out regarding the nose and mouth? I have been following along with some of your wonderful videos and always breathe in through my nose with mouth closed. I try and remember to touch my palate with the tip of my tongue. As for breathing out, I prefer to exhale with a small amount of force with my mouth open. Is this ok or should one exhale through the nose with mouth closed? Thank you!
Can you change your body foundation using this technique, so that I can fix all problems concerning back pain, shoulder tension, neck tension, and etc..?
Great video :) I was wondering if a person should wait awhile after eating to do either dan tian breathing or hara meditation, or if they can continue on regardless :) Thanks in advance
That's funny! Many people react to too many seeds and nuts. They can often be a trigger to digestion issues, migraines, and allergies if they are over consumed. Also, seeds can easily often become rancid in the heat, or sunlight. I hope it feels better soon :)
Thank you Jeffrey. Another priceless gift.🙏❤️
I wonder why someone can't like this. Thank you so much for your videos ❤️

Hi John, I couldn’t find the exercise anywhere…I would like something to clear the pressure I feel on my head.
Thank you so much
Hii please.make self-defense using chi energy video
Hare om thank you sir
Terima kasih, thank you from Indonesia.
You're welcome!
Thank for the breathing technique. Does it matter if you exhale through your nose versus your mouth? On the inhale, do you want the sensation of your lower belly to rise and then on the exhale for the lower dantian area to come in?
Very nice video. Question? Would you suggest breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth? Maybe is doesn't matter.
Jeff, you really convey knowledge and trust, your explanations and videos are wonderful. Thanks for sharing, an embrace from Guadalajara, Mexico - land of tequila and mariachi music.
Yes I will try this thank u
I’m sure it will be helpful!

As long as you don't feel uncomfortably full, it's ok to practice after eating. If you feel full, just wait half an hour until the stomach empties. 🙂
Had to play it twice after I stopped being a laughing Buddha, wild buck... hahahahaha
Yes, you never know what you're going to see out in the wild 🙂
Sure the thumbs down was a mistake So lovely
Unexpected wild buck 😂😂😂😂
My Dan Tian has been gurgling for 2 days. I think I had too many sunflower seeds. Argh.
That's funny!

Good gung fu
