Four Seasons Qigong Video 1.0.1

The $9.99 in-app purchase offers access to an extensive collection of Qigong video lessons by Dr. Jwing-Ming Yang, a highly regarded expert in the field. Through this series, Dr. Yang provides valuable insights on enhancing the immune system while elaborating on the principles of Four Seasons Qigong, which consists of 25 distinct exercises designed to promote overall health.

Qigong, often referred to as "energy work" or "moving meditation," employs simple movements that focus on boosting Wei Qi, or guardian energy, as well as stimulating the belt vessel, an energy meridian situated around the waist. This practice aims to enhance immunity and uphold health, particularly during seasonal transitions.

Dr. Yang elucidates the traditional medical practice of Four Seasons Qigong (Si Ji Gong), emphasizing its significance in regulating the body's energy throughout the changing seasons to mitigate common ailments. This approach specifically concentrates on balancing the five internal Yin organs—heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and spleen—which correlate with different seasons.

The teachings suggest that illnesses may arise from a slow adaptability and immune response during seasonal shifts. For instance, the arrival of Fall can heighten susceptibility to colds, while Summer may lead to excessive heart energy. Practicing Four Seasons Qigong equips individuals with the tools to harmonize their Qi during these changes, ultimately fostering better health.

Dr. Yang's structured methodology combines ancient Qigong practices with contemporary scientific insights that bridge Eastern and Western understandings of wellness.
