Hi, I just got my Qi Gong level 1 and 2 this week and I am still trying to familiarize myself with the active exercises plus trying to listen to the CDs and reading the manual.
I have one question: If I do my active exercises, do I finish with the ending exercises and then do the sitting meditation and another ending exercise?
Any info will be appreciated,
Brigitte
There is no one perfect "right" way or order to practice in. Sometimes I do a little Active, then some meditation, then some more Active. Sometimes reversed.
However, you do not need to do an ending exercise after both the Active and the meditation, if doing them in conjuction or sequentially. In the scenario you outline, you can just do the Active, then the meditation and save the ending exercise for after the meditation. I usually do the ending of the Active (harvesting qi) after both when I do the order you stated. But you could just do the shorter version that ends the meditation. Depends on your time.
Best is probably to do the longer ending. But still very good to just do the short ending.
Hope that helps.
