Guigen Qigong – Restoring Natural Harmony – Simon Blow Qigong

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gXIHNFHNnU&list=PLLMMNr4QCOLE

Guigen Qigong – Restoring Natural Harmony – Simon Blow Qigong Guigen Qigong is a Medical style of Qigong developed by Dr Xu Hongtao a specialist doctor from the Qigong at the Xiyuan Hospital in Beijing. There are six sections in the Guigen Qigong method, section one we call Holistic Regulating which redistributes the stagnation of Qi in the upper body and deficiency of Qi in the lower body helping to re-root the unbalanced Qi. Section two to six relates to the Five Elements and their corresponding Zang and Fu organs. Section two Earth Element, regulating the Spleen and stomach channels. Section three relating to the Metal Element, regulating the Lung and Large Intestine channels. Section Four relates to the Water Element, regulating the Kidney and Urinary Bladder Channels. Section five relating to the Wood Element, regulating the Liver and Gall Bladder channels followed by section six relating to the Fire Element, regulating the Heart and Small Intestine. Guigen translates to returning to the root or source, returning to the primordial energy from which everything emerges. The six sections of the dynamic Guigen Qigong are followed by the stillness meditation section helping to restore natural harmony, cure diseases and improve the human races quality of life. The dynamic forms and stillness meditation are prescribed to both in-patients and out-patients at the Xiyuan Hospital in Beijing as a part of their therapy. https://www.simonblowqigong.com/

Das Spiel der Fünf Tiere | Medizinische Gesellschaft für Qigong Yangsheng

Das Thema Heute ist Essenz, Chi und Geist. Präsentiert wird das Spiel der Fünf Tiere.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFoAAbVQtRk

Offenbar ein „neuer“ Trend: #Slowmaxxing: Qualität, Ruhe u. #Präsenz über Geschwindigkeit. Stiller Widerstand gegen ungesunde „Normalität“. Es ist ein zutiefst menschlichen Bedürfnis: innehalten, wahrnehmen und dem eigenen Leben wieder Tiefe geben.
Zeit für #Langsamkeit #Körperwahrnehmung #Achtsamkeit – zB beim #Qigong, wo jede Bewegung entschleunigt und Achtsamkeit erlebbar wird.

The One-Handed Bow and Shaolin Salute

A Symbolic Gesture Bridging Buddhism, Martial Arts, and Philosophy

Among the many ritual gestures in martial arts and Buddhist practice, few are as rich in symbolism as the one-handed bow and the Shaolin salute. These simple movements embody centuries of cultural synthesis, spanning Buddhist devotion, Confucian ethics, and Taoist philosophy. Though often performed without conscious reflection, these gestures are living links to profound stories of sacrifice, humility, and moral discipline.

It is also important to distinguish between “bowing toward” someone and “bowing down to” them. In Buddhist and martial traditions, a bow is not a sign of subjugation or inferiority, but rather a gesture of mutual respect, recognition, and presence. To bow toward someone is to acknowledge their humanity, their role as teacher or peer, or their shared path. In contrast, bowing down to someone implies surrender, hierarchy, or submission, a dynamic not typically encouraged in authentic Chan or martial teachings, which emphasize non-attachment, humility, and equality of spirit (Suzuki, 1956; Shahar, 2008). The gesture is not about worship, but about mindful reverence for the moment and the relationship.

The Story of Huike and the One-Handed Bow

The origins of the one-handed bow can be traced to a pivotal moment in Chan (Zen)Buddhist history. In the 5th or 6th century CE, the Indian monk Bodhidharma (Damo) traveled to China, bringing the profound teachings of Dhyana (meditation) Buddhism. According to legend, Bodhidharma secluded himself in a cave near the Shaolin Temple, meditating in silence for nine years (Suzuki, 1959).

During this time, a Chinese monk named Huike sought to become his disciple. Initially rejected, Huike demonstrated his unwavering determination by standing outside Bodhidharma’s cave through a snowstorm. To further prove his sincerity, Huike cut off his own hand and presented it to Bodhidharma. Moved by this act of sacrifice, Bodhidharma finally accepted him as a student (Cleary, 1999).

The one-handed bow evolved partly from this story. In Chan circles, bowing with one hand came to symbolize total devotion, humility, and the willingness to transcend ego and attachment. The gesture visually echoes Huike’s sacrifice, representing a commitment to the Dharma that goes beyond the physical form.

Practical Monastic Roots

Beyond its symbolic meaning, the one-handed bow also has practical origins. Buddhist monks traditionally carried alms bowls or staffs, often leaving one hand occupied. The gesture of bowing with the free hand thus became a mindful adaptation, embodying presence and respect even in simple actions (Strong, 2001).

In Shaolin monastic life, where martial training intertwined with Buddhist practice, this gesture naturally merged with martial etiquette. Over time, it evolved into the more formalized Shaolin salute, now widely recognized across martial arts traditions.

The Shaolin Salute (Fist Wrapped in Palm)

The Shaolin salute, performed with the left open palm wrapping over the right closed fist encapsulates a deep philosophical message:

• The left palm symbolizes wisdom, virtue, and restraint.
• The right fist represents martial strength and discipline.
• Together, they convey the ideal that strength must serve wisdom, and that martial power should always be governed by moral integrity (Henning, 1999).

The gesture is performed at the start and end of training, as a sign of respect toward teachers, fellow practitioners, and the lineage itself.

Northern vs. Southern Shaolin Variations

Northern Shaolin

• Gesture held closer to the chest, with a more upright posture.
• Strong emphasis on Chan Buddhist origins, honoring the story of Huike and Bodhidharma.
• Used as a reminder that martial arts is a spiritual path, not merely a physical practice.

Southern Shaolin

• Gesture held lower, sometimes with a deeper bow.
• Greater incorporation of Confucian and Taoist elements:
  • The left palm represents civil virtue (wen).
  • The right fist represents martial courage (wu).
• Symbolizes the ideal of the “complete person” where one who balances civil ethics with martial prowess.

Across both traditions, the salute serves as a bridge between physical mastery and spiritual cultivation, reminding practitioners to walk the martial path with awareness, humility, and virtue.

Philosophical Layers of the Salute

These layers reflect the syncretic nature of Chinese culture, where Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism enriched one another and deeply influenced the martial arts (Shahar, 2008).

The Gesture Today

In modern martial arts, the Shaolin salute is used worldwide. Yet, many practitioners are unaware of its spiritual and historical dimensions. The story of Huike’s sacrifice, the practicality of the one-handed bow, and the layered meaning of the salute all remind us that external movements can carry profound internal significance.

Every time a martial artist performs this gesture, they are participating in a lineage that spans centuries of wisdom, discipline, and moral cultivation. In a world often dominated by superficial strength, the Shaolin salute offers a timeless reminder:
True power lies in restraint, and the greatest warrior is one whose actions serve a higher wisdom.

Conclusion

The evolution of the one-handed bow and Shaolin salute exemplifies the essence of holistic practice, integrating the body, mind, and spirit. These gestures are not mere formalities; they are expressions of a worldview where humility tempers strength, and discipline serves compassion.

As we move through modern life, whether in the dojo, temple, or daily interactions, this simple bow invites us to embody presence, respect, and the pursuit of wisdom in every action.

Qigong wirklich verstehen, nicht nur praktizieren

Das neue Buch von Peter Deadman räumt mit Klischees auf – und zeigt, wie Körper, Atem und Geist wirklich kultiviert werden.

Qigong erlebt seit Jahren einen regelrechten Boom. Kurse füllen sich, YouTube-Videos versprechen schnelle Entspannung, und in Wellness-Magazinen wird die jahrtausendealte chinesische Gesundheitspflege oft in einem Atemzug mit Achtsamkeits-Trends genannt. Wer tiefer einsteigen möchte – wer Qigong nicht nur imitieren, sondern wirklich verstehen will – stößt schnell auf ein Problem: Fundierte, verständliche und zugleich wissenschaftlich redliche Literatur ist rar.

Genau diese Lücke schließt das neue Buch, das Anfang Mai 2026 im Verlag Systemische Medizin erscheint: “Qigong – Körper, Atem und Geist kultivieren” von Peter Deadman.
