Master Kio teaches traditional Qi Gong in Spain

You know, when I first started learning Yi Jin Jing Qigong here at TIN SING KWUN Zaragoza, I wasn't entirely sure what 'raising qi' really meant. I'd heard the terms, of course, but it felt a bit abstract. My Master, who teaches the authentic Buddhist style from Foshan Hung Sing Kwun China, has truly opened my eyes – and my body – to this incredible practice. One of the most profound sensations I've experienced is learning to feel my qi, to 'raise' it from within, and then guide it to 'pour down' through my limbs. It's not just about physical movement; it's a deep internal connection. For instance, in the 'Hungry Tiger Pounces on its Prey' form, the movements aren't just stretching; they're designed to open up energy pathways. As I extend my arms and then retract, I can actually feel a tingling, warmth, or sometimes even a subtle pressure – that's the qi moving! It's like gently coaxing a river to flow, making sure there are no blockages. This focused attention on internal energy is what makes Yi Jin Jing so unique and powerful for cultivating vitality. Initially, it took a lot of concentration. I remember thinking, 'Am I doing this right? Is anything happening?' But my Master always emphasizes patience and consistency. He talks about achieving a state of '恒永' (Heng Yong), a kind of perpetual, enduring energy that sustains us. And slowly, day by day, I started to notice. The 'raising qi' began to feel more natural, like drawing a deep breath, but for my entire energy system. It’s a feeling of internal expansion, of gathering strength from my core. The 'pouring down' aspect is equally fascinating and truly completes the cycle. After accumulating the qi, you learn to direct it. For me, it often feels like a gentle, warm current flowing down my arms and legs, grounding me and spreading a sense of calm throughout my body. It's incredibly calming and invigorating at the same time. This guided flow helps release tension, improve circulation, and just makes me feel more centered and stable. My joints feel more supple, my mind is clearer, and honestly, my overall energy levels have gone up significantly. I used to feel sluggish in the afternoons, but since regularly practicing Yi Jin Jing, that afternoon slump is almost gone, replaced by a steady, sustained vitality. This authentic Buddhist Yi Jin Jing isn't just about physical exercises; it's a holistic approach to wellness that connects mind, body, and spirit. It’s about cultivating that '恒永' internal strength and vitality that you can rely on daily. Each movement, each breath, is a deliberate step towards better health and inner balance. It’s a journey of self-discovery through ancient wisdom. If you're curious about truly understanding your body's energy and experiencing the profound benefits of raising and circulating your qi, I highly recommend exploring this traditional practice. It's been a game-changer for my healthy lifestyle, and I feel like I'm constantly discovering new layers to my well-being and a deeper connection to myself.
