气功Qi gong, the exercise of qi cultivation, is one of the oldest exercises in Chinese history. It is more than one thousand years. There are numerous types of qi gong; generally speaking, the term describes a variety of breathing, gymnastic, and meditative exercises. Qi gong can be done sitting, standing, moving and walking.气Qi is the life energy inside a person. This life energy comes from the combination of three things: the air breathed in through the lungs, essential qi from the kidneys, and the qi absorbed from food and water through the digestive system. Qi circulates throughout the body, performing many functions to maintain good health. There is also primitive qi or shen qi, the one you are born with. Qi is the driving force of the internal power (jin) in tai ji. The mind (yi) directs the qi, and the qi drives the jin. In practice, yi, jin and qi are inseparable. Qi is generated from various sources within the body: Traditional teachers are very reluctant to use the word qi they always talk about something inside and outside the body and all around us, they do not like saying qi.
1. Dan tian the most important source of energy. It is three fingerbreadths below the belly button and slightly inwards. It is the centre of the body and is the centre of qi. No matter what style (tai ji, qi gong) you practice, developing awareness of the dan tian, and learning to sink qi to the dan tian, are essential skills.
2. Ming men at the back of the waist, between the kidneys;
3. Tan zhong solar plexus;
4. Tian mu between the eyes;
5. Bai hui at crown of the head;
6. Lao gong on the soles of the feet and.
8. Hui yin the groin
There are different forms of qi:
1.Tian qi energy from heaven;
2.Di qi energy from the food we eat;
3.Zhen qi the result of tian qi and di qi, and
4.Shen qi the qi we are born with, that comes from our mother

Wudang Priest Zhou Xuan Yun (Mysterious Cloud), grew up on Wudang Mountain training both martial arts and Daoism. After relocating to Boston, I was blessed with the opportunity to train again with him, and this time shoot a few videos of his forms.
