Why Qigong is Like a Piece of Paper…
How in the world can a set of movements combined with breathing and focus be like a piece of paper?
Here’s how I like to make the comparison. Each time you practice qigong, it’s like you’re adding a single piece of paper to a pile.
Obviously, by itself a single sheet of 20 pound bond weighs almost nothing. It won’t even fall straight down if you drop it! But pile up enough of them and you have an entire ream. A ream of paper will drop like a rock. And a whole case is too heavy for some people to lift.
Can you see now how after a while daily qigong practice carries substantial weight? Every day when you practice it’s like adding one more sheet to the pile. This way of practicing gives you maximum benefits not only for your physical health, but also for your mental and emotional well-being.
But hey, don’t take my word for it. Make the commitment to practice every day for 6 months and then decide. That would amount to about 180 times. At that point you’ll really know how qigong can help improve your life!
Be well,
Dr. Bruce
