    Dr. Yang's Twenty-Four Rules for Qigong Practice

    24 Rules for Qigong Practice

    The Root of Chinese Chi Kung, The Secrets of Chi Kung Training

    by Yang, Jwing-Ming

     

    When I began studying Qi Gong (Chi Kung), one of my classmates who

    had been at it for a while, said that when it comes to feeling your Qi

    moving within your body, it will take two years to feel anything, and five

     years to believe it.

    While taking two years to feel the Qi wasn't exactly right, the essence of

    his comments are still very true. Qi Gong is a path, not a destination, and

    along that path are many signposts that you will pass. Feeling the Qi, believing you feel the Qi,

    learning to direct it with physical movements, learning to direct it with just your mind's intent,

    directing it somewhere in the future, in the past, etc... are all steps along a never ending path. 

    The article that follows is designed to prepare you for a life of discipline, not instant

    gratification. The only true gratification that comes from doing Qi Gong is to enjoy the activity 

    while your doing it, no matter what your level. Gratification that is dependent on obtaining any 

    sort of power will only get in the way of the most sacred of all side-effects of Qi Gong, and that

    is enlightenment itself.

    In this section we will list the twenty-four rules which have been passed down by generations

    of Chi Kung masters. These rules are based on much study and experience, and you should 

    observe them carefully.

    1) Don't be Stubborn about Plans and Ideas

    This is one of the easiest mistakes for beginners to make. When we take up Chi Kung we are

    enthusiastic and eager. However, sometimes we don't learn as fast as we would like to, and we

    become impatient and try to force things. Sometimes we set up a schedule for ourselves: today

    I want to make my Dan Tien warm, tomorrow I want to get through the tailbone cavity, by such

    and such a day I want to complete the small circulation. This is the wrong way to go about it.

    Chi Kung is not like any ordinal-v job or task you set for yourself -- YOU CANNOT MAKE A

    PROGRESS SCHEDULE FOR CHI KUNG. This will only make your thinking rigid and stagnate

    your progress. EVERYTHING HAPPENS WHEN IT IS TIME FOR IT TO HAPPEN. IF YOU FORCE

    IT, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN NATURALLY.

    http://mitqigong.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/dr-yangs-twenty-four-rules-for-qigong.html

    2) Don't Place your Attention in Discrimination

    When you practice, do not place your attention on the various phenomena or sensations which

    are occurring. Be aware of what is happening, but keep your mind centered on wherever it is

    supposed to be for the exercise you are doing. If you let your mind go to wherever you feel

    something "interesting" happening, the Chi will follow your mind and interfere with your body's

    natural tendency to rebalance itself. Do not expect anything to happen, and don't let your mind

    wander around looking for the various phenomena. Furthermore, don't start evaluating or 

     judging the phenomena, such as asking "Is my Dan Tien warmer today than it was yesterday?"

    Don't ask yourself "Just where is my Chi now?" When your mind is on your Chi, your Yi is

    there also, and this stagnant Yi will not lead the Chi BE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING, BUT

    DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO IT When you drive a car, you don't watch yourself steer and work

    the pedals and shift gears. If you did, you'd drive off the road. You simply put your mind on

    where you want to go and let your body automatically drive the car. This is called regulating

    without regulating.

    3) Avoid Miscellaneous Thought Remaining on Origins

    This is a problem of regulating the mind. The emotional mind is strong, and every idea is still

    strongly connected to its origin. If you cannot cut the ideas off at their source, your mind is not

    regulated, and your should not try to regulate your Chi. You will also often find that even

    though you have stopped the flow of random thoughts going through your mind, new ideas are

    generated dung practice. For example, when you discover your Dan Tien is warm, your mind

    immediately recalls where this is mentioned in a book, or how the master described it, and you

    start to compare your experience with this. Or you may start wondering what the next step is.

    All of these thoughts will lead you away from peace and calm, and your mind will end up in the

    "Domain of the Devil." Then your mind will be confused, scattered, and very often scared, and

    you will tire quickly.

    4) Hsin (Shen) Should not Follows the External Scenery

    This is also a problem of regulating the mind (Hsin). When your emotional mind is not

    controlled, any external distraction will lead it away from your body and to the distraction. You

    must train yourself so that noises, smells, conversations and such will not disturb your 

    concentration. It is all right to be aware of what is happening, but your mind must remain

    calmly, peacefully and steadily on your cultivation.

    5) Regulate your Sexual Activity

     You should not have sexual relations at least 24 hours before or after practicing Chi Kung,

    especially martial or religious Chi Kung. The Essence-Chi conversion training is a very critical

    part of these practices, and if you practice Chi Kung soon after sex, you will harm your body

    significantly. Sex depletes your Chi and sperm, and the Chi level in the lower portion of your 

    body is lower than normal. When you practice Chi Kung under these conditions, it is like doing

    heavy exercise right after sex. Furthermore, when your Chi level is abnormal, your feeling and

    sensing are also not accurate. Under these conditions, your Yi can be misled and its accuracyaffected. You should wait until the Chi level regains it normal balance before your resume Chi

    Kung. Only then will the Essence-Chi conversion proceed normally and efficiently.

    One of the major purposes of Chi Kung is to increase the Essence Chi conversion and use this

    Chi to nourish your body. Once a man has built up a supply of Chi, having sex will only pass

    this Chi on to his partner. As a matter of fact, many Chi Kung masters insist that you should

    not have sex three days before and four days after practice. During sexual relations the female

    usually gains Chi while the male loses Chi during ejaculation. The woman should not practice

    Chi Kung after sex until her body has digested the Chi she has obtained from the man. There

    are certain Taoist Chi Kung techniques which teach men how not to lose Chi during sexual

    activity, and teach women how to receive Chi from the man and digest it. We will leave the

    discussion of this subject to Chi Kung masters who are qualified and experienced in it.

    6) Don't be Too Warm or Too Cold

    The temperature of the room in which you are training should not be too hot or too cold. Youshould practice in the most comfortable environment which will not disturb your mind and

    cultivation.

    7) Be Careful of the Five Weaknesses and Internal Injuries

    Five weaknesses means the weaknesses of five Yin organs: the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys,

    and spleen. When you realize that any of these five organs is weak, you should proceed very

    gradually and gently with your Chi Kung practice. Chi Kung practice is an internal exercise

    which is directly related to these five organs. If you do not move gradually and gently, it is Like

    forcing a weak person to run 10 miles right away. This will not build up his strength, instead it

    will injure him more seriously.

    For the same reason, when you have an internal injury your internal Chi distribution and

    circulation is already disturbed. If you practice Chi Kung your feelings may be misled, and your 

    practice may worsen your problem and interfere with the natural healing process. There are

    certain Chi Kung exercises which are designed to cure internal injuries, but to use them

    exercise. For some years now there havebeen a wide variety of ...

    3/3/2016 MIT Qigong: Dr. Yang's Twenty-Four Rules for Qigong Practice

    http://mitqigong.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/dr-yangs-twenty-four-rules-for-qigong.html

    properly you need to have a very good understanding of the Chi situation of your body.

    8) Avoid Facing the Wind when Sweating

    Don't practice in the wind, especially facing the wind.  When you practice Chi Kung you are

    exercising either internally, or both internally and externally. It is normal to sweat, and since

    you are relaxed, your pores are wide open, If you expose your body to cold wind, you will catch

    cold.

    9) Don't Wear Tight Clothes and Belt

    Always wear loose clothes during practice because this will help you to feel comfortable. Keep

    your belt loose, too. The abdomen is the key area in Chi Kung practice, and you must be

    careful not to limit the movement of this area because it will interfere with your practice.

    10) Don't Eat too Much Greasy and Sweet Food

     You should regulate your eating habit while you are practicing: Chi Kung. Greasy or sweet

    food will increase your Fire Chi, making your mind scattered, and your Shen will stray away

    from its residence. You should eat more fruit and vegetables, and keep away from alcohol and

    tobacco.

    11) Don't Hang your Feet off the Bed

    In ancient times the most common place in Chi Kung practice was sitting on your bed. Since

    most beds were high, if you sat on the edge of the bed your feet would hang off the side of the

    bed above the floor. When you practice Chi Kung your feet should touch the floor. If they do

    not, all of the weight of your body will press down on the lower part of your thighs and reduce

    the Chi and blood circulation. Furthermore, when you practice you should not put your feet up

    on the table, because this position will also stagnate the Chi and blood circulation.

    12) Don't Practice with a Full Bladder You should go to the toilet before you start your practice. If you need to go during practice,

    stop your practice and do so. Holding it in disturbs your concentration.

    13) Don't Scratch an Itch

    If you itch because of some external reason, such as an insect walking on you or biting you, do

    not be alarmed and keep your mind calm. Use your Yi to lead the Chi back to its residence, the

    Dan Tien. Breathe a couple of times and gradually bring your consciousness back to your 

    surroundings. Then you may scratch or think of how to stop the itching. However, if the itching

    is caused by Chi redistribution in the Chi Kung practice, remain calm and do not move your 

    mind there. Simply ignore it and let it happen. Once it has reached a new balance, the itching

    will stop. If you scratch this kind of itch it means that your mind has been disturbed, and also

    that you are using your hands to interfere with the natural rebalancing of your body's Chi.

    14) Avoid Being Suddenly Disturbed or Startled

     You should avoid being suddenly disturbed or startled. However, if it does happen, calm downyour mind. You must absolutely prevent yourself from losing your temper. What has happened

    has happened, and getting mad cannot change anything. What you should do is prevent it from

    happening again. Most important of all, though is learning how to regulate your mind when you

    are disturbed.

    15) Don't Take Delight in the Scenery

    It is very common during practice to suddenly notice something that is going on inside of you.

    Perhaps you feel Chi moving more clearly than ever before, or you start to sense your bone

    marrow, and you feel elated and excited. You have just fallen into a very common trap. Your 

    concentration is broken, and your mind is divided. This is dangerous and harmful. You have to

    learn how to be aware of what is going on inside you without getting excited.

    16) Don't Wear Sweaty Clothes

    This happens mostly in moving Chi Kung practice, especially in martial Chi Kung training.

    When your clothes are wet from sweat you will feel uncomfortable, and your concentration willbe affected. It is better to change into dry clothes and then resume practice.

    17) Don't Sit When Hungry or Full

     You should not practice Chi Kung when you are hungry or when your stomach is full. When

    you are hungry it is hard to concentrate, and when you are full your practice will affect your 

    digestion.

    18) Heaven and Earth Strange Disaster

    It is believed that your body's Chi is directly affected by changes in the weather. It is therefore

    not advisable to practice Chi Kung when there is a sudden weather change, because your 

    practice will interfere with your body's natural readjustment to the new environment. You will

    also be unable to feel and sense your Chi flow as you do normally. You must always try to

    remain emotionally neutral whenever you do Chi Kung; even if you are disturbed by a natural

    disaster like an earthquake, you must remain calm so that your Chi stays under control.

    3/3/2016 MIT Qigong: Dr. Yang's Twenty-Four Rules for Qigong Practice

    http://mitqigong.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/dr-yangs-twenty-four-rules-for-qigong.html

    19) Listen Sometimes to True Words

     You need to have confidence when you practice Chi Kung.  You should not listen to advice

    from people who do not have experience in Chi Kung and who are not familiar with the

    condition of your body. Some people listen to their classmates explain how they reached a

    certain level or how they cured a certain problem, and then blindly try to use the same method

    themselves. You need to understand that everyone has a different body, everyone's health is

    slightly different, and everyone learns differently. When the time comes for you to learn

    something new, you will understand what you need. Play it cool and easy, and always have

    confidence in your training.

    20) Don't Lean and Fall Asleep

     You should not continue your Chi Kung training when you are sleepy. Using an unclear mind

    to lead Chi is dangerous. Also, when you are sleepy your body will not be regulated and will

    tend to lean or droop, and your bad posture may interfere with the proper Chi circulation. When

    you are sleepy it is best to take a rest until you are able to regain your spirit.

    21) Don't Meditate When You Have Lost Your Temper or are Too Excited

     You should not meditate when you are too excited due to anger or happiness. Since your mind

    is scattered, meditation will bring you more harm than peace.

    22) Don't Keep Spitting

    It is normal to generate a lot of saliva while practicing Chi Kung. The saliva should be

    swallowed to moisten your throat. Don't spit out the saliva because this is a waste, and it will

    also disturb your concentration.

    23) Don't Doubt and Become Lazy

    When you first start Chi Kung, you must have confidence in what you are doing, and not startdoubting its validity, or questioning whether you are doing it right. If you start doubting right at

    the beginning you will become lazy, and you will start questioning whether you really want to

    continue. In this case, you will not have any success and your practice will never last.

    24) Do not Ask for the Speedy Success

    This is to remind you that Chi Kung practice is time consuming and progress is slow. You

    must have patience, a strong will, and confidence to reach your goal. Taking it easy and being

    natural are the most important rules.

    Learning With The Grandmasters: Yang, Jwing-Ming

    Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming (  楊       俊       敏       博       士        ) started his Gongfu

    (Kung Fu) training at the age of fifteen under the ShaolinWhite Crane (Bai He) Master Cheng, Gin Gsao ( 

    曾      金       灶       ). In

    thirteen years of study (1961-1974) under Master Cheng,

    Dr. Yang became an expert in the White Crane style of

    Chinese martial arts, which includes both the use of bare

    hands and of various weapons such as saber, staff, spear,

    trident, two short rods, and many others. With the same

    master he also studied White Crane Qin Na (or Chin Na),

    Tui Na and Dian Xue massages, and herbal treatment.

     At the age of sixteen, Dr. Yang began the study of

    Taijiquan (Yang Style) under Master Kao, Tao ( 高       濤        ). After

    learning from Master Kao, Dr. Yang continued his study and research of Taijiquan with several

    masters and senior practitioners such as Master I, Mao-Ching ( 李       茂         清        ) and Mr. Wilson Chen in

    Taipei. Master Li learned his Taijiquan from the well-known Master Han, Ching-Tang, and Mr.

    Chen learned his Taijiquan from Master Chang, Xiang-San. Dr. Yang has mastered the Taiji

    barehand sequence, pushing hands, the two-man fighting sequence, Taiji sword, Taiji saber,

    and Taiji Qigong.

     Yang's Martial Arts Association was established in Boston, MA in 1982. With the intent of

    preserving traditional Chinese Kung Fu and Qigong , Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming began training

    students in the rigors of Shaolin Long Fist and White Crane Gongfu as well as Yang Style Tai

    Chi Chuan. Currently, YMAA is an international organization, including 56 schools in Argentina,

    Belgium, Canada, Chile, France, Holland, Hungary, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain,

    South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In the early 80's, Dr. Yang wrote

    several books, published by Unique Publications. In 1984, Dr. Yang retired from his engineering

    career, to undertake his life-long dream of teaching and researching the Chinese arts and

    introducing them to the West through many books, videos and DVDs.

    In summary, Dr. Yang has been involved in Chinese Gongfu since 1961. During this time, he has

    I remember reading this a while back in Dr. Yang's book. After years of practice,

    they still ring true...
