Through the regular practice and study of the many Daoist Kunlun Qigong forms and exercises that there are performed within the LFIAA. Many individuals start with a small amount of understanding and ability in the practice of qigong, many have never heard or seen it before, but after only a few months of regular practice they have improved there own bodies flexibility, mobility, concentration levels, relaxation and over-al skill level to be able to cultivate and circulate the vital energy (qi) and blood (Xue) within themselves to greatly improve their health and wellbeing in a nut shell they have fully expanded their own self awareness to fully connect to the way (Dao).
Typical example of certain individuals being in a state of tightness, stiffness or rigid are all examples of where their bodies have shrunk or become contracted stopping the circulation of both energy and blood from flowing smoothly through the body. This can effect the individuals physical and emotional health causing them to suffer with high blood pressure, headaches or feelings of frustration, irritability, anxiety or bursts of anger. Through the practice of Kunlun Qigong the individual are taught to open up their bodies through both passive and dynamic stretching movements that releases tension in the muscles and stiffness in the joints, allowing for the true qi (Zheng Qi) to develop and build and for the turbid qi ( Zhao Qi) to be flushed out this can then help to strengthen the individuals health
Everyone through the practice of Kunlun Qigong can learn to fully expand their bodies strength, health and vitality. It can greatly benefit thousands of people by teaching them to fully open and expand their emotions to be able to connect with the people around them in their work enviroment, family and friends bringing them closer, rather than being introverted and withdrawn which is another example of ” shrinking”. Obviously to fully expand also means that each individual must shrink a little to maintain their growth. But the total aim is to develop a state of balance or equilibrium where the individual neither shrinks or expands in any direction excessively but stays in accord with their own path ( Dao) towards good health and wellbeing.
