If you are like me you love to talk about your love of Spring Forest Qigong to others, if they like it or not.
I was wondering, what do you tell them when they ask.. "What IS qigong?"
Do you hit them over the head with TCM phrases and Taoist ideology? or do you go the route of "It's like meditation but you wave your arms around slowly.." or "You've heard of Tai Chi right? Well it's like that.."
Master Lin started out in the US by saying "Come learn Chinese Breathing Techniques."
How do you describe to your TCM clueless friends or family or people you come in contact with whom you feel would benefit from learning SFQ?
For me I kind of mix basic TCM ideas about blocked energy and how qigong is a way to open blocked energy pathways. But I can kind of tell from their expression that I might as well be talking about crystals and chakras and lunar eclipses.
Oh well. Any ideas?
