What Are the Three Golden Rules of Qi Gong?

What Are the Three Golden Rules of Qi Gong? answered by the Bright Beings Academy

The three golden rules of Qi Gong are to relax the body, slow the breath, and guide the mind gently.

First, the body is softened rather than forced. Tension is released so movement can feel natural and comfortable.

Second, the breath is slowed and allowed to settle.

This helps calm the nervous system and supports a steady flow within the body.

Third, the mind is placed gently on the movement or the breath. Where your attention goes, your energy begins to follow.

These simple principles are what make Qi Gong effective. When practised together, they create a sense of balance, ease, and connection within you.
