Qigong
The body cannot function effectively and operate in a protective and pro-active mode when it is tense and disconnected from the mind and spirit. ~Nettie Paisley
The best known use of sound in Taoist practice appears to be the Six Healing Sounds. These various sounds are used to connect and revitalize six important organs as you release breaths through gentle movements and beautiful, soothing sounds.
The Six Qigong Healing Sounds practice begins with sitting on the edge of a chair with a straight back and palms relaxed on the knees and thighs as gentle and slow movements are infused with a Reiki Flow. A natural inhale and exhale comes forth introducing balance and grounding to start the relaxation and healing process.
THE SIX HEALING SOUNDS
When performing the exercises,
embrace the power of Change!
Each sound will correspond to a specific organ and a particular movement designed to connect and detox the liver, heart, spleen, lung, kidney and the triple warmer. The triple warmer helps the circulatory and central nervous system and is best served by laying down or stretching out in a chair. Soothing vibrations are felt during every organ sound. The entire slow and deliberate process takes about 45 minutes to one hour. The sounds, movements and breathing help the body become more receptive to self care (in this case, gentle exercise creating a self massage). The vitality and sense of inner peace emerge at the same time.
IN THE LIVER: Anger is transformed into the ability to Move into Peaceful Actions.
IN THE HEART: Emotional Excesses are transformed into Patience, Calmness, and Forgiveness.
IN THE SPLEEN: Over-thinking and Worry may be transformed into a state of Confidence.
IN THE LUNG: Depression can transform into Courage.
IN THE KIDNEY: Fear is transformed into Wisdom.
IN THE TRIPLE WARMER: Burnout is transformed into a Harmonious Vitality.
Extra time is needed to wind down from the beautiful rejuvenating and meditative experience after the practice is completed. However, if you must keep it moving, you will quickly recognize how your tolerance level has become exceptional. Once you have mastered this magnificent technique, the exercise can be shortened for times when you just need a quick fix.
