qigung

Last Sunday Master Chang taught Qi Gung for eye protection. That's exactly what I need as my eyes began degenerating. I suppose I need cataract surgery soon, to replace my degenerated lens with artificial ones. Master Chang said after some QiGung emphasizing hands, we can conceal our eyes with hands so our eyes will be able to absorb the Qi we just operated in/between hands. He taught us to breath with our pupils.

A newcomer of our class raised a question that has been in everyone's mind: "How come our pupils will breath?" Master Chang explained that our breathing through nose to lungs provides only outer Qi, and our inner Qi comes from breathing of every part of our body other than nose and lungs. That's the purpose of abdominal breathing(diaphragmatic breathing), too. One of my sisters, a scientist trained in the US, doubted what we were doing of practicing diaphragmatic breathing. Now I know what to say to her, no mater she buys it or not.

I felt nothing when struggling to breath with my pulpils. I guess all my classmates felt the same way. But I am not frustrated for I began to feel the very subtle flows of air above my palms when I concentrate. The following task is how to operate the air flows into other parts of my body.
