Sleep has been recognized as one of the biggest factors that contribute to a weak immune system, diabetes, blood sugar imbalance, heart disease, hormone imbalance, depression, weight gain, stress, and many other health and medical conditions. It has been studied quite significantly in the past few years, and for good reason.
If you have had issues with sleep, you are not alone. Approximately 1 in 3 people have mild to major sleep challenges. Sleep problems, or insomnia, can manifest as:
troubles falling asleep
troubles staying asleep - being light sleeper
waking too early in the morning
When considering sleep we need:
enough hours - between 6-9
deep enough sleep - where we go through all the different stages of the sleep cycle
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Qi Gong theory there can be several root reasons for insomnia. Mainly:
heart imbalance
liver imbalance
kidney imbalance
The most common is the heart imbalance. This can show up as insomnia with a racing mind. You may be ready to go to bed but your mind starts thinking about the “what if’s” and “should have’s” right when your head hits the pillow. People often identify this stress or anxiety that is particularly bad at this time.
The heart is both an organ and a system according to TCM. When we have insomnia there is usually too much “heart heat.” This routine focuses on cooling the heart heat so that your mind and body can gently unwind.
Often people will feel as if they can fall sleep much faster after practicing this routine, and they feel as if they have had a deep sleep. A sign of a deep sleep is that you wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated independent of the hours you slept for.
Try practicing this routine daily and as you become more familiar with it, it will become more effective! This and many other Qi Gong routines can be found in the Communi Qi and I warmly invite us to join!

Thank you very much,my body has bee n in so much pain for years,an never sleeping well ,I njoyed doing this Qi Gong,wishing for the goodnight sleep..😴
I have been practicing this every night for the last 10 days or so. Also doing Qi Gong in the morning every day. At the end of this routine just now I felt energy flowing down my body with that last exercise and my body tingled and felt warm, still does. Amazing feeling!
So surprised this actually worked!
I have ADHD and peri menopausal both affect my sleep
I fell asleep as soon as I lay down after doing this routine
Even after doing a few things before bed
This is the best Qigong video I have seen. Jeffrey's approach is simple, yet comprehensive and effective. Very well done with step by step demonstration and extremely educational. Thanks for making it so simple and easy to follow, also very calming and enjoyable!👏👍

Good night Jeff. Thank you so much. I hope it will help my Insomnia. Lovely you are brilliant. XXXX
Thank you . I have been in grief and this is very helpful.
Thankyou. When I do this routine at night i sleep soundly...always.
Thank you so much for this video. Your voice itself is calming. Please keep up the great job! ❤
Jeff Chand's Qigong has been a life saver during this epidemic. Thank you so much for this. It's helping more than anything. With much appreciation and love to the global community
Fantastic...thank tou so much!!!! Very relaxing and today I will be my first night after had been maked these practice!
Tonight is my 2nd night doing this. I feel very clear headed, no more scattered, frantic thinking about things I don't need to be worrying about. In the palms of my hands I feel a lot of warmth tonight. I did wake up last night at the usual 1-3am time (liver time) but after some deep dan tien breathing(which I learned from another one of your videos!) I was back asleep within half an hour. usually it takes me hours to fall back asleep if I'm even able to. I will say a bit of lingering pain continues in my chest on the sternum, a bit of tightness. We shall see how things change as I continue this for 2 weeks. Thank you for helping me to go to sleep with a clear head.
You know what's funny? Doing this exercise tonight made the scent of my perfume fill the room. It's rare that I notice the scent this late in the day. I guess it warmed me up? I feel like it could be possible that something was oozing through my pores forcing the scent molecules into the air. Either way, it smells really good in my room right now!
Ive got CMV/HPV6/Epstein barre and some odd blood work and weak kidneys. I have horrible insomnia. I’ve been doing this for about a week now, I always sleep more peacefully. In the beginning I would be in bed reading or watching tv and think awe man I’ve got to get up and do my routine. Always happy that I did. The last two days I noticed I didn’t feel like that I felt like it’s beginning to be apart of what I do before bed! The time went by quicker during the session maybe because I know the routine and it was easier to connect my own energy vs listening for ques. In any event these sessions really work! I’ve tried a couple of others and they really improved my mood! I’m going to keep on going with this! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful, love it, love your teaching style, you're a great teacher!
your gentle voice and wonderful movements very helpful all the time. Thank you
First timer thanks for the clarity and enjoyed this video ..🙏
Oh my God, Dr. Chand. I had such lingering pain in my neck and left shoulder, it was so painful, I have been holding onto to that pain for days. I have done about 5 other exercises with you today some specifically for this pain and whiley they decreased it the didn't eliminate the pain. THIS VIDEO ELIMINATED MY PAIN! I feel warm and soothed and able to breathe DEEP. The way you ended this is so beautiful, gentle and soothing. THANK YOU.
Jeffrey! You are the best!
Thank you I did fall a sleep for few minutes then watched the video through to the end, I loved it.😀😴
Wonderful, I enjoyed this video, and do it. I hope I get to sleep tonight. Thank you. I watched most of your videos for all exercises. Great job.
Very well done = I am almost asleep. Excellent Video. Thank you.. will practise. Loving Tai Chi - I feel so much better after doing Tai Chi
I really enjoy your practice. They are well explained so easy to follow. During this one my body felt heavy and relaxed. I should be following asleep quickly. We shall see tomorrow . Will keep practicing it . Thank you
Thanks as always - you seem like a genuinely good soul. Blessings
I've been doing this practice with your guidance outside on my deck overlooking a cove on Lake Norman in NC. Watching the fireflies come out while doing this is magical. They start regularly at 8:30 EDT. Beautiful!😄
This is my second evening of doing the sleep Qigong , I was definitely yawning a lot more tonight !! thank you very much Jeff
Thank you so much! Every time I start the exercises I begin to yawn and this is good for me. During the practice I feel completely relaxed, I appreciate your teaching.
Hello Mr.Chand, I just wanted to thank you for takeing time to make your videos!
Very relaxing for me, love doing the exercises

Very relaxing. Thanks, Jeff❤️
Thank you very much - I am normally so much in alarm/alert that I never get to the stage of yearning- but I was yearning all the way through the exercises 💝🦋🌱😊
Jeffrey, you are such a beautiful person. Thank you for your free gift of Qi-movement. The first time I tried this my insomnia only lasted 40 minutes instead of the usual 4 hours!! .. You have enabled me much liberation from daily fatigue and I thank you! X

Thank you for the Qigong exercise for sleep. It was very relaxing. Have a good night, and a better tomorrow.
Cheers
I was told by an acupuncturist that I have "Spleen Chi" deficiency...I have to much Yang heat, but I am tired a lot though I have had years of hardship...I did Qigong a lot years and years and only recently started again...I can still tell and remember the colors of the organs and healing sounds..and trying to lower my excessive thinking energy and anxiety. I have had really bad sleeping patterns for a long time only in the last month has that changed..Glad to see you are still putting out videos. Thank you!
Absolute a very fine qi-gong practice, like all of your video's :)
Amazing healing for sleep ❤
I felt tingling in my hands. I really enjoyed
My body feel tired and relaxed... very nice... hope to sleep well
This has helped me so much and is improving all the time. I still can’t completely blank my mind but it is getting better.My sleep is much better also. I have arthritis quite bad so find difficult for me to stay still through the night but I now know it will get better.
So at peace and connected to Source. Thank you Jeffrey! I love your videos!
Easy to follow. Feel like my entire body is one unit. Thank you🌻
That's a great description and a sign of good qi flow!

I did not really know where the points around the neck and back of head were , usually you do a drawing and show the points. I am really enjoying your teaching and meditation. Thank you , so good to follow you, I have been telling many friends. Ann in the uk.
After completing the video , I felt relaxed.
Thank you! I really love your teaching and the sound of your voice. Very grateful...

I,ve been sleeping much better . The best video for insomnia that I,ve seen.Thank you, very much.
Happy to hear that!🙂
I loved this routine: so peaceful ! Thank you for sharing this with us Jeffrey
My pleasure!
I love doing this night time exercise.
You have the right voice for relaxing into these movements. And the background of this video also was very relaxing and peaceful. I felt very connected to my breath and the movements helped to re connect with nature, earth, peaceful feelings. I sensed holding clouds that were puffy and that made me inner smile. The repetition of movements also helped my memory of how to do them correctly. I've done them before bed to give a restful sleep. Fingers crossed! Thank you Jeffrey.
my hands are so heavy with chi that it is a blessing to do the cloud pose- thank you my friend
Beautiful!
I enjoy trying out your Qi Gong routines, and returning to ones that seem especially useful for me. This one is my new favorite! I like combining the pressure points with movement and breathing. I also like knowing that you are just over there - on the other side of the mountains. and just across the border. Thanks for all that you give.
Thank you so much for your comment, and I'm so glad the videos are helpful!
Thank you!🙏🏻
I really love your videos. I have just discovered you and this one is so gentle, good as I badly sprained my back and am going easy. Thank you!
Thank you for this beautiful qigong
exercise. I have benefitted and now fall asleep easily.
I love these videos Jeff! And my noisy dog does too. She chills out and falls asleep just from hearing your voice.
That genuinely makes me smile!!
Thanks so much for sharing!
This routine is just amazing.I find myself coming back to it when I feel like I don’t want to be counting the stars at 3am. It just works every time. Thank you Jeffrey🙏🏼
first time.. really nice... i go to bed now.. i felt many energy shifts sometimes pain.. you are a good teacher..
Thank you so much! I hope you are sleeping well!
Thank you for this routine. I feel very relaxed after doing this.
When is the best time to do this
I feel very relaxed, thank you
Excellent!
I find myself feeling very centred when doing this routine and able to switch off from anything going on around me. Your voice is soothing and calming too.
One of my favourite routines for sure.
Very good. My eyes and body just wish to sleep again. I did it in the morning. Will try before going to bed. Thanks a lot. Feel calm and peaceful.Christine from France.
Very good, I have improved my sleep considerably. Thank you very much.
Thank you
This was wonderful. Will report back in the morning!! 😄
Wonderful! My eyes are heavy and my body is quiet. Maybe should not have done this so early in the evening, but was feeling a bit stressed about plans tomorrow and this has helped. Hoping I'll be able to sleep well tonight. Definitely plan to do this regularly. Thank you so much!
Wonderful!
Thankyou .your .qi gong goes well with reiki .
This was the first video I saw it help me a lot also in daily life , after that I become a member of a Communi-Qi!
