Eight Energy Circle Walking
Classical Chinese physical arts for health and wellbeing
There are eight postures in this circle walking Qi Gong relating to the eight trigrams and the I Ching (book of changes) in Taoist philosophy. Each holds a unique energy. There are many health benefits of circle walking, from helping to balance emotions, connecting the upper and lower body, increase circulation, help create more energy and harmonise the activities of the brain and heart. The external movements exercise the whole body, coiling and spiralling to help coordination and balance. The internal movements help calm the mind, drop tension from the organs and open the energy channels. The name Qigong is a relatively modern term, previously known as Daoyin from around 4-5000 years ago. The literal translation means "energy through work".
