Practices for Strong Bones Qigong Lesson 2

Practices for Strong Bones Qigong Lesson 2. In this second lesson of the “Practices for Strong Bones” series, James Saper delves deeper into the Qigong practices designed to fortify your bones, drawing from the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This session emphasizes the relationship between the Kidneys and bone health, as TCM teaches that strong bones are nourished by Kidney essence (Jing).

James guides you through standing postures and gentle movements that stimulate the flow of Qi (energy) through the Kidney and Bladder meridians, which play a crucial role in supporting bone strength and overall vitality. You will also learn how to align your body and mind to cultivate a deep sense of resonance, which TCM associates with the Kidney’s connection to the emotion of fear and the importance of grounding yourself in a secure sense of identity.

This lesson not only helps in building physical strength but also encourages you to connect with your inner self, providing a holistic approach to bone health.
