Something that we talked about in Qigong amongst other things was the frequency of certain moves. We talked specifically about a Bagua move we have been practising a lot the past few months. A lot of Qigong moves oxygenate the body for example, yet the ones that generate the most power have a frequency.

Frequencies for example are everywhere in that is what happens in the universe. Everything moves constantly. This movement generates frequencies. In a way the Bagua move in question is simply connected with that. That is the goal anyway, to connect with the energy. We are bombarded by energy constantly.

Certain movements allow you to connect although your body has to be cultivated over time to let the energy in. I mean when you start doing the moves for the first time you can only access the energy your body can allow in. The whole point of doing the moves over time is to eventually get to a level where the positive energy will come to you fully. 

This happens automatically if your body is ready. The only way to be ready is through effort. The effort prepares the body through practice and if the positive energy recognises a place it can stay in your body, it arrives. The overall goal is immortality but nothing actually can happen without practice and cultivation.

Very few people can reach an immortal level, it isn’t as though you will if you try but why not aim high. For me when I do Qigong I feel happy and content. Today when I was doing the Bagua move I felt a tingling up my spine and a ticklish feeling that made me happy. I mean I might not get to some high level but at least I feel good doing it.

The Bagua move in question simply connects to a universal frequency based on the movement of the heavens. It is designed to do that and I suppose from my experience so far as I haven’t done a lot of this move over the years but it is addictive. I find Qigong is a trap like that. I remember after training for a few months after having been away for years I realised that I was addicted to the way it made me feel.

At first I wondered if that was actually a good thing and I know when I trained when I was younger I went too far with it. Yet at my age and having experience I know that I can’t escape my responsibilities and Qigong is like a break or reward in my busy life. In a way Qigong isn’t an escape but enhances life overall. I couldn’t train now like I did when I was younger even if I wanted to. I appreciate the fullness of life and know that I can feel connected to an energy that has no beginning or end.
